Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta Securities Fraud & Investment Loss Attorneys
Atlanta is one of the South's most active financial centers — and unfortunately, one where investment fraud and broker misconduct are all too common. The Frankowski Firm represents Georgia investors in FINRA arbitration and helps them recover what their brokers cost them.
Serving Georgia Investors
Fighting for Atlanta Investors
Atlanta's Buckhead financial corridor and Midtown office towers are home to regional offices of nearly every major brokerage — Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo Advisors, UBS, Raymond James, and dozens of independent advisory firms. When those advisors put their own commissions ahead of your financial wellbeing, The Frankowski Firm holds them accountable.
Richard Frankowski has represented investors in FINRA arbitration cases filed through the FINRA Southeast Regional Office for over two decades. He co-authored The Practitioner's Guide to Securities Arbitration and knows exactly how to build and win investor claims.
We handle cases on a contingency fee — no fees unless we recover money for you. If your broker recommended unsuitable products, misrepresented risks, churned your account, or placed you in a fraudulent investment scheme, call us today for a free evaluation.

Common Questions
Atlanta Investment Fraud — Frequently Asked Questions
I live in Atlanta and my broker at Wells Fargo or Merrill Lynch lost my money. What are my options?
If your broker at Wells Fargo Advisors, Merrill Lynch, or any other brokerage firm made unsuitable recommendations, misrepresented a product, or engaged in misconduct, you likely have a FINRA arbitration claim. The Frankowski Firm represents Georgia investors in FINRA proceedings and can evaluate your case at no charge.
Is FINRA arbitration the right path for my Atlanta investment fraud case?
For most investors, yes. When you opened your brokerage account you signed a pre-dispute arbitration agreement requiring any claims to go through FINRA — not Georgia state or federal court. FINRA arbitration is a formal legal proceeding with discovery, hearings, and binding awards. Richard Frankowski has handled hundreds of these cases.
How long does a FINRA arbitration take?
Most cases resolve in 12 to 18 months from the date of filing, though straightforward cases sometimes settle earlier. The FINRA Southeast Regional Office, which handles many Atlanta-area cases, maintains case timelines consistent with this range.
What types of investment losses does The Frankowski Firm handle?
We handle broker fraud, unsuitable recommendations, churning, unauthorized trading, misrepresentation, variable annuity abuse, alternative investment fraud, Ponzi schemes, and elder financial exploitation. If your broker or advisor cost you money through misconduct, call us.
Does The Frankowski Firm charge fees upfront?
No. All investment fraud and securities cases are handled on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for you. Your consultation is free.
