Questions that we ask as we investigate your investment fraud case, include:

  • Was your investment advisor authorized to make risky investments?
  • Did anyone have discretion to trade in your investment account?
  • Is there an arbitration clause in the financial agreement you signed?
  • Did the investment advisor engage in unsuitable trading or inappropriate investment recommendations?
  • What were the particular investment objectives and risk tolerance for your account and was your advisor inappropriate with regard to them?

Our Goal Is to Be Part of Your Solution, Not the Problem

After researching your case, we will tell you whether we believe that you have an actionable case. It may be that your advisor did not act in an ethical manner, but did not violate the law. Taking on such a case will only cause you more heartache and cost you more money. We take on cases in which we believe that we can help you. If we do not think that your case is actionable, we will let you know.
