Securities Fraud Red Flags

Securities fraud is the abuse of your investment portfolio by your financial advisor and/or broker-dealer. It may include excessive trading (churning), overconcentration, and the sale of unsuitable investments (non-traded REITs, oil and gas limited partnerships, annuities, Unit Investment Trusts), among others. Large investment losses do not necessarily prove broker wrongdoing-they could merely be the result of market forces. It can be difficult or almost impossible to tell if you’ve been defrauded unless you consult with an experienced securities attorney.

Here are some warning signs:

01

Your broker fails to return your calls.

02

You don’t understand the transactions on your statements.

03

Your broker fails to disclose important information regarding an investment purchase.

04

Your broker begins trading in high risk and speculative investments.

05

You are paying capital gains taxes when your account value is decreasing.

06

You find transactions on your account statements that you did not previously authorize.

07

As a guideline, if you are retired and have lost more than 15% of your account in a single year or have suffered large losses in a single security, you should have someone review your account to determine if the investments selected by your financial professional are in keeping with your investment objectives.

Can I sue my Broker?

If you suffered investment losses due to broker misconduct or fraud, you may be able to sue your broker by filing a securities fraud lawsuit — or more commonly, a FINRA arbitration claim.

Virtually every brokerage firm in the country includes what is referred to as an “Arbitration Provision” on the forms you sign on the day you open your account – often in fine print. Generally, this provision provides that if you have a dispute over your account, including any claim for damages for losses, you waive your right to go to court and further agree to arbitrate your dispute before either FINRA or one of the exchanges, like the NYSE.
FINRA, the self-regulator that oversees brokers and brokerage firms, operates the largest dispute resolution forum in the securities industry. In fact, FINRA Dispute Resolution is the forum for almost all disputes between investors, brokerage firms and individual brokers.

Why FINRA Arbitration may be your Answer
The good news is that FINRA arbitration is generally faster and less costly than court litigation. Most arbitration panels are comprised of 3 members. At the final hearing, after your case is presented and after the defense has presented their case, the arbitration panel will make a determination if you are entitled to any recovery, and if so, how much.
Many securities cases do settle. In some situations, the parties agree to mediate their dispute prior to the arbitration hearing. Mediation is a voluntary process utilizing the services of an independent third party who attempts to facilitate a settlement between the parties by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the respective party’s case and offering his/her opinion on what the eventual outcome may be at arbitration.

I am a retired lawyer, after some 35 years in practice. My wife and I needed help with a securities matter and connected with Mr. White. Long story short, he accurately analyzed the case and got a very good result for us. I admired his approach and tactics. Highly recommended.

Dax White and Mike Kennedy were able to help me unwind, and then resolve a longstanding dispute I had with a brokerage firm. Their experience in dealing with securities issues was apparent. I gained confidence in their abilities in short order. Very pleased. Highly recommend them. Thanks!
