If you are a securities investor and have experienced problems with your investments, your advisor, your broker, or another financial professional, you may have been the victim of securities fraud.
Most often, defrauded investors are unaware of the fraud until it is too late; some may never know.
The good news is that even after losses have occurred, you are entitled to certain rights of recourse. These legal actions may provide an opportunity to reclaim some or all of your losses. Additionally, you may be entitled to receive compensation for income that your investments should/would have been generating, were it not for the fraud. Consider the following questions:
- Are you a victim of bad investment advice?
- Has your broker or advisor recommended risky investments while neglecting to fully explain the risks?
- Has your broker or advisor completed trades without your understanding or authorization?
- Has your broker or advisor traded your account excessively?
