Losing money from investing is never easy and it can lead to devastating consequences not just for retail investors and older retirees, but also for high-net-worth individual investors and institutional investors. Our Portland, OR financial advisor negligence attorneys have represented clients from all walks of life in more than 1000 matters in arbitration, mediation, and litigation. We know how to provide you with quality securities representation and personalized attention specific to your investing experience, risk tolerance level, financial goals, age, and other key factors.

We also know how to identify when bad behavior involving a broker or investment adviser contributed to your investment losses. Not only do our securities attorneys have a combined more than 100 years’ worth of experience in securities law and the securities industry, but also many of us were former stockbrokers who held senior positions at some of the largest firms on Wall Street. We witnessed firsthand many unsavory practices. It is why we left to become advocates and protectors of investors.

Can A Broker-Dealer Be Held Liable For Financial Advisor Fraud That They Weren’t Aware Of?

The answer to that is yes. Brokerage firms have a duty to properly supervise all of their registered representatives and the activities in clients’ accounts. Even if they were not aware that a financial advisor was stealing money, engaged in unauthorized trading, or churning in your account, if you suffered serious losses because of such actions, you may be able to sue the firm.

These days, disputes between financial advisors and investors are typically brought in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration. Our Portland, Oregon financial advisor misconduct lawyers have represented many investors in this legal forum, which requires specific strategies distinct from what one would employ in court to maximize the chances for a successful case outcome.

More than 90% of the investors we have represented have received full or partial financial recovery in the form of settlements and awards. Over the years, this has led to thousands of clients collectively getting back many millions of dollars.
