Securities Fraud
Securities fraud is lying about, or hiding, facts that matter to an investment decision: false statements about risk, returns, fees, or the investment itself. Investors who relied on that information and lost money may be able to recover their losses.
If any of this sounds like your account, the next step costs nothing: a free, honest evaluation. Tell me what happened or call (719) 783-0303.
Common questions
Securities Fraud: what clients ask
What counts as a material misrepresentation?
A fact is material if a reasonable investor would consider it important in deciding whether to buy, hold, or sell. Misstating the risk of a product, hiding fees, or promising returns that were never realistic are common examples.
Does the broker have to have intended to deceive me?
Not always. Some claims require proof of intent, but others, such as negligent misrepresentation or breach of the duty to recommend suitable investments, do not. The right claim depends on what happened in your account.
What evidence helps a securities fraud claim?
Account statements, trade confirmations, emails or texts with the broker, sales brochures, and your own notes of what you were told. Even partial records help, because the firm is required to keep its own.
Your move
A free evaluation has no downside other than your time.
Tell me what happened. I will tell you honestly whether you have a case worth pursuing — and every way I can be paid, including contingency: nothing unless you recover.
