Are you an investor who has suffered a substantial loss?
Not every investment loss is caused by uncontrollable market forces. Your investment loss may have been the result of improper sales practices or securities fraud. You went to a new broker, or your accountant examined your losses, and they told you the earlier broker mismanaged your account. You need a securities lawyer to advise you whether the broker breached his fiduciary duty to act in your best interests and committed securities fraud.
If you have been victimized by broker misconduct or securities fraud, we will take aggressive action to protect you. We will recover your money as efficiently as possible. At the Los Angeles law firm Fields, Fehn & Sherwin; we focus 100 percent on securities law. We know the industry inside and out. We can advise you on the best remedy to recover your losses from securities fraud.
We will not charge you attorney's fees unless we win your case.
Contact Fields, Fehn & Sherwin at (310) 473-6338. We will evaluate your case without cost to you.
We use the acronym SCUM to discuss broker mismanagement issues:
- Suitability = A broker recommends a purchase, sale, or exchange of security without thorough understanding of the investor's financial status, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and level of sophistication. Brokers must know their customer and make suitable recommendations.
- Churning = A broker excessively trades within an investor's account, at a level not justified by the investor's objectives and financial situation.
- Unauthorized trading = Investor approval is needed before a trade, unless an investor has given written approval
- Misrepresentations = A broker must give an investor all relevant facts about a security before the investor buys, sells, or exchanges that security at the broker's recommendation. It is malpractice to conceal relevant facts or fail to disclose potential risks.
California Stock Broker Fraud Defense Lawyers
If you are a stock broker (registered representative) who has been accused of misconduct that caused an investor's loss, it is a mistake to think you can represent yourself in any mediation, arbitration or court proceeding involving investment fraud. This is never a good idea.
Securities law is hostile and complex. You need skilled, dedicated legal assistance from attorneys who understand the complexities of securities law.

You may have insurance through your brokerage company. The insurer may assign a lawyer to defend you. It is better for you to get independent counsel who represents your best interests. We will mount an aggressive defense, without divided loyalties. We work only for you.
