Protecting Client Interests in Investment Disputes
In a tough economy, there are a lot of people who have lost money on their investments. When those losses are the result of securities and investment fraud, victims should have the ability to recoup those losses. Under state and federal laws, stock brokers and other investors have to meet certain obligations when dealing with their clients, and those who fail to do so should be held accountable.
At the Albany law firm of Cooper Erving & Savage LLP, our attorneys are prepared to represent investors who are victims of unlawful conduct on the part of stock brokers and other financial professionals. Simply losing money does not entitle you to file a claim, but negligence and misconduct should be vigorously pursued to compensate you for your damages.
Our lawyers are not afraid to protect the rights of our clients in trial against the perpetrators of securities fraud and investment schemes. Contact Craig H. Norman or Phillip G. Steck at our firm to learn about securities and investment fraud representation.
Examples of Securities and Investment Fraud
In New York and across the country, more attention has been paid to Ponzi schemes and other investment scams as people like Bernie Madoff are brought to justice for bilking investors out of billions of dollars. Of course, not all investment fraud or misconduct is as sensational, but these acts, even when not publicized, still harm innocent victims.
Unlawful conduct by investors includes:
- Aggressive and high pressure sales tactics
- Account churning
- Broker conflicts of interest
- Investment unsuitability
- Violations of margin rules
- Excessive markups
- Securities and broker dealer fraud
- Failure to disclose pertinent information to investors
Our firm will thoroughly investigate the actions that your broker took with your money and any violations or illegal activity that may have occurred as a result. If you have a valid claim against the broker, we will protect your rights at all points during your case and work diligently to get the compensation you deserve.
If you believe that you are the victim of fraud or misconduct, contact our firm in Upstate New York to talk with us about your situation. Schedule a consultation with us and discuss your story with one of our experienced lawyers. Call us toll free at 888-352-3751 to get started.
