Investment Losses

When you put your money away to be secure, you should be able to trust the individual(s) who manage your financial future. These brokers or brokerage firms are supposed to take your financial assets and invest them in a portfolio that allows a return on your investment. However, some brokers or brokerage firms invest your hard-earned money in a portfolio that is risky or unsuitable for your unique needs and does not benefit the client. When they do this, they break the standard of care that is expected, and it is known as financial malpractice. Some examples of financial malpractice include when a broker makes an unsuitable investment when they act in your name with permission or make false promises about your investment. All these actions can result in great financial loss with heavy consequences.

Often in complex financial matters, it is important to have a lawyer by your side to file and navigate through the processes of investment losses. One of the most common avenues to file an arbitration claim with an organization called FINRA. To take a claim before FINRA generally, it must be within six years of the alleged damage to your finances. Having a lawyer go through proceedings and give advice on the steps to take allows you a greater chance of reaching a positive financial outcome. Trying to do it on your own generally fails.
