In Mississippi, the state’s Securities Division is tasked with regulating securities professionals and the investments they sell. It is this division that enforces the Mississippi Securities Act and can bring administrative actions against violators.

Sometimes, such an action may result in a partial or full refund of losses suffered by an investor. However, if you want to maximize your chances of a financial recovery, your best bet is to retain the services of a savvy Mississippi securities fraud law firm that will zealously pursue your case for you while protecting your legal rights.

Investor fraud claims against a broker or investment advisor can be tough to prove. It may even seem that your losses are a result of market turbulence or adverse events when, in fact, they occurred because your registered financial representative recommended investments that were unsuitable for your portfolio or risk tolerance level, overconcentrated your account in too much of one particular security, failed to conduct the proper due diligence about an investment that later proved fraudulent, or breached their fiduciary duty to you in some other way.

Even if your broker-dealer was not aware of your registered representative's fraudulent or negligent actions, it was still the firm’s duty to properly supervise them and your account to make sure that your money was protected. When inadequate supervision enables fraud or carelessness that leads to investor losses, a brokerage firm can be held liable.

If you wish to recover damages, you will need to file a claim with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). A FINRA arbitration case is not a complaint that you should pursue without knowledgeable legal help.

SSEK Law Firm has been fighting for investors for 30 years in arbitration, mediation, and litigation. Not only that, but we have gone after the largest broker-dealers on Wall Street and recovered many millions of dollars for our clients.

SSEK Law Firm has successfully represented investors in disputes over losses involving stocks, bonds, mutual funds, structured products, alternative investments, real estate investment trusts (REITs), mortgage-backed securities, YES Strategies, annuities, options, private placements, non-traded REITs, oil and gas investments, and other investments. You want to work with accomplished Mississippi securities attorneys who are not easily intimidated and who will make sure your interests are taken care of.

Gulfport is known for its robust retiree community. At SSEK Law firm, our skilled retirement losses attorneys are here to help you pursue damages because your broker mismanaged or misappropriated your retirement funds.

We also are here to fight for senior investors who have been the victim of elder investment fraud. Unfortunately, retirees and older investors remain a favorite target of rogue brokers, investment advisors, and others seeking to take advantage of their lifetime savings.

If you are the victim of broker fraud or negligence, you are entitled to compensation for your losses.
