Margin Abuse Attorneys

Are You An Investor Who Suffered Losses Due To Margin Blowout? Our Margin Abuse Attorneys Want To Talk To You

If you are an investor who suspects that broker misconduct was a factor in your margin loss claim, contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Margin Abuse Attorneys (investorlawyers.com) today. We are looking into claims that may have involved your financial advisor selling out your account positions to satisfy your margin calls.

Having a margin account lets you borrow money from your broker-dealer, which gives you more money to invest. However, you will have to pay back that money. While brokerage firms are entitled to liquidate investors from various positions to meet margin calls, there may be instances in which grounds for a broker negligence claim may be warranted. For example, if your broker-dealer told you that there was time to meet margin calls but then sold your positions before that time had passed, misrepresentations and omissions may have occurred.
