Contact us today at our Ridgway, Colorado broker fraud law office so that we can help you explore your legal options.

Investors Suffer Losses Due to Stockbroker Fraud and Negligence

The Colorado Division of Securities protects investors, enforces securities laws, and makes sure securities professionals are properly licensed in the state.

Along with the federal government’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the self-regulatory organization, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), one would hope that all of these regulators would be able to prevent securities fraud and broker negligence from happening to Colorado investors.

Unfortunately, investment fraud happens every day in the United States. In many cases, the party responsible is a financial advisor entrusted to manage, grow, or preserve their customers’ money. Instead, their improper or careless actions caused investors to suffer significant losses.

Common Types of Broker Misconduct or Negligence

It is important that you work with skilled Western Colorado securities lawyers who will properly make your claim and know how to negotiate a settlement on your behalf or prove your case before a panel of FINRA arbitrators.

Fighting For Investors and Retirees in Western Colorado

For many retirees, seniors, inexperienced investors, and conservative investors, their priorities are often preservation and growth of funds but without taking on too much risk, if any at all.

Unfortunately, there are brokers and investment advisors who will still make unsuitable investment recommendations or over concentrate retail investors’ portfolios in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), private placements, non-traded real estate investment trusts (non-traded REITs), oil and gas investments, or other volatile or illiquid securities that are not in these customers’ best interests.

SSEK Law Firm knows the devastation that significant financial losses can wreak on the lives of retail investors. We have never been afraid to go after even the largest broker-dealers if this means helping our clients become financially whole again.

Wealthy investors, also known as high net worth individual investors, can also suffer significant losses because of stockbroker fraud or negligence. The same goes for nonprofits, municipalities, retirement plans, business entities, and other institutional clients. Our Western Colorado investment attorneys have the experience, skills, and resources to handle even the most complex claims against brokerage firms and registered representatives.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
"I am going to miss conversations with you, Sam Edwards. You’ve been a wonderful lawyer and a friend. I loved learning legal jargon from you. But, even more, it is your self-respect and commitment to your position that I admire and your persistent patience-your equanimity. With great appreciation, thank you!" M.B.
★★★★★
"My experience with Ryan Cook has been very positive. Through every step of the litigation he explained what to expect to happen. When I spoke with him later he reviewed the process. He was very patient, and I never felt rushed. I have already told friends how wonderful he is." L.R.
★★★★★
"I want you to know that I very much appreciate your expertise, hard work, and guidance that led to a satisfactory resolution with Raymond James. From our first meeting, I felt "heard" and that my situation and story were respected. Every subsequent interaction I had with any of you - in person, via email, or by phone - only corroborated that feeling. What great work you do on behalf of people like me who have been wronged, yet don't know how to navigate the appeals/mediation/arbitration process as you do. I will be forever grateful." M.L.
★★★★★
"Good positive experience. Guided us through a difficult process and was pleased with the outcome. Everyone I dealt with was exceptional." A.G.
★★★★★
"Good intelligent attorneys who never miss a beat. I set my expectations high, and they delivered above and beyond. Do not miss the opportunity to let SSEK represent you. Top-notch, efficient and effective firm." S.M.
