If you are like many investors, you are always looking for a promising opportunity. You look forward to getting in...
If you entrust your capital to a financial advisor or a corporate entity, you are not only investing money but also trust. One of the most common and devastating forms of securities fraud occurs when the improper use of investor funds betrays that trust.
Improper use of investor money often signals deeper systemic misconduct and negligent supervision. If you have lost money to securities fraud, our legal team can explain your rights and recovery options. At Silver Law Group, led by managing partner Scott Silver, our securities class action attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay us nothing unless we win your case.
If you entrust your capital to a financial professional, the law legally entitles you to transparency and the fiduciary protection of your assets. One of the most severe forms of securities fraud occurs when a broker or fund manager improperly uses an investor’s portfolio by treating it as their own encouraging investors to make gifts or loans to the financial advisor or recommending that the client invest money in a project which the advisor has a personal interest. Several signs can indicate misappropriation or improper use of funds, including:
If you notice unexpected account changes, unauthorized trades, or a sudden lack of transparency in your financial statements, you may be the victim of a serious breach of trust that requires immediate legal intervention from an experienced securities fraud attorney.
In cases involving the improper use or misappropriation of investor funds, liability often extends far beyond the individual broker or advisor who committed the act. At Silver Law Group, our attorneys perform a comprehensive investigation to identify every entity that allowed fraud to occur to ensure you have the best chance at recovery.
Potentially liable parties could include the brokerage firm, investment advisory firms, the custodian bank, and any third-party professionals who certified fraudulent financial statements or failed to notice signs that parties were wrongfully using investor capital. Our legal team uses forensic accounting to hold negligent firms accountable for perpetrating or enabling fraud. If someone misuses your hard-earned capital, you are not powerless.
Several avenues of legal recourse exist to help you recover your losses and hold the liable parties accountable. Our attorneys provide a comprehensive litigation strategy tailored to the specific mechanics of the fraud, whether that involves helping you file an individual claim, joining a class action lawsuit, or filing a FINRA arbitration claim. If a corporate entity or fund misuses the capital of a group of investors, a class action allows victims to work together against the institutions that allowed the misconduct to occur.
