Not every loss is recoverable — markets fall, and that is not anyone's fault. But when your losses trace to an unsuitable recommendation, a breach of the duty your adviser owed you, or a misrepresentation about what you were buying, the loss may be recoverable through a claim against the firm. We represent investors nationwide in exactly those cases.
Investors often assume that because a loss happened in the market, nothing can be done. Sometimes that's right. But the law does not ask whether you lost money — it asks whether the firm met the standard it owed you. Where the conduct fell short of that standard and caused the loss, the loss can be the basis of a claim.
Your account held concentration, leverage, illiquidity, or complexity that never matched your stated objectives, time horizon, or risk tolerance — and it produced a loss a suitable portfolio would not have.
Registered investment advisers owe a federal fiduciary duty; broker-dealers owe a best-interest obligation under Reg BI. Where the firm put its own compensation ahead of your interest, the resulting loss may be recoverable.
Misstated risk levels, inflated yield or return figures, undisclosed liquidity restrictions, or product features you were never told about — a misrepresentation or omission that induced the investment.
Even where an individual adviser caused the loss, the firm can be liable for failing to supervise the conduct, review the account, or follow up on red flags in its own records.
Recovering investment losses is a structured process, not a lawsuit filed on a hunch. The first two phases — case evaluation and document review — are where the strategy is set, and we invest heavily in them before recommending any filing.
A confidential conversation about the investment, the recommendation, the loss, and the firm. We review preliminary materials and tell you whether a viable claim exists — at no cost and no obligation.
We collect account statements, the investment policy statement, the advisory or brokerage agreement, written communications, and the firm's marketing and disclosures, then map the conduct against the applicable rules.
Claims against advisers and private banks proceed in court, AAA, or JAMS; claims against FINRA broker-dealers proceed in FINRA arbitration. Many matters resolve through pre-filing demand or mediation before a hearing.
Recovery can come from the firm, the individual adviser, supervising principals, or errors-and-omissions coverage. We identify every available source as part of the damages strategy.
Initial inquiries are reviewed personally and treated as confidential whether or not we ultimately work together. We respond to substantive case inquiries within one business day. There is no cost or obligation associated with the initial review.
