Stock Losses - Fraud or Broker Misconduct

Not every stock loss is a case of fraud or broker misconduct, but if you have even the slightest suspicion, you owe it to yourself to find out. At the Boca Raton Law Office of Russell Forkey, we protect the rights of individuals and businesses throughout Florida who have been the victims of broker fraud or misconduct. We are acutely aware of the threats of elder financial abuse and are prepared to handle a diverse set of claims.

Many people who suffer a serious stock loss take time to mull over their options before taking action. This is caused by such things as feelings of despair, or embarrassment. But you should not be deterred. Immediate action should be taken. If you make this mistake, inactivity could adversely affect your claim in ways that the average investor would not realize, with the worst being that the statute of limitations could run out and you may lose your chance to file a successful claim. Another big mistake made by investors is making a verbal or written complaint to the firm or the account executive. Many times these complaints come back to haunt the investor for a number of reasons, including the fact that the investor does not fully understand the issues involved in the dispute.

An experienced attorney will keep your case on track, so you do not miss any chance to make a full recovery. For example, many people in Florida use banks to manage their trusts. However, in most case, you only have six months to file a lawsuit against a bank for mismanaging your trust. If you have an inexperienced lawyer on your side, they could take the right first steps, only to have the bank delay the case until it is too late. The team of legal professionals at the Law Office of Russell Forkey will not let that happen to you.

Other inexperienced lawyers may file a case without realizing that the statute of limitations has already run out. If you lose the case, you still have to pay fees. We offer free initial consultations for securities litigation and arbitration and can give you a full analysis of your rights and options, so you know how to move forward properly.

If you believe you have been the victim of securities or stockbroker fraud or misconduct, we can help you explore your options and discuss whether you may be able to make a financial recovery.
