Deciding to hire a financial advisor to make investment recommendations and manage your brokerage account is a significant step and it can be devastating to discover that their fraudulent or careless actions ended up costing you instead of keeping your money safe or growing your assets. Unfortunately, financial advisor fraud does happen, which is why we have dedicated our securities law firm exclusively to representing clients like you.

• Failure to diversify
• Due diligence failures
• Omissions
• Overconcentration
• Investment scams
• Elder financial abuse
• Affinity fraud
• Ponzi scams
• Financial product failures
• And more.

What To Know If You Are A Victim of Financial Advisor Misconduct

Identifying, let alone proving, that your investment losses are due to fraud by your broker or investment adviser can be difficult, which is why you need the help of seasoned Houston financial advisor negligence lawyers. More often than not, a broker-dealer would rather deny your claim or place the blame for your portfolio’s decline elsewhere rather than accept responsibility and pay you the damages they owe.

It is important that you try not to deal directly with your financial advisor over your investment loss recovery dispute because this could harm your claim in the long run. Instead, contacting us to request your free, no-obligation case assessment can be a solid step in determining whether or not you have grounds for a lawsuit.

If you do have the makings of a claim, you will likely have to submit your complaint in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration. This is typically where such disputes are brought. The reason for this is that broker-dealers will usually have you sign a pre-dispute arbitration clause naming this type of venue for any potential disagreements before even agreeing to work with you.
