The Frankowski Firm is a long-standing leader in the field of investment law, focused on assisting those investors who have been taken advantage of by malicious or incompetent brokers or investment advisors. As professional and seasoned FINRA arbitration counselors in Las Vegas, as well as trial lawyers, we champion investors, small and large, who have experienced monetary losses through the delinquent activities or inaction of investment companies and brokerage firms. We provide effective, thoughtful guidance for people who have seen their investments falter through the actions of neglectful or fraudulent brokers, supervisors, and brokerage firms.

How do you know if you have a legal claim?

Losing money through an investment’s failure to perform as expected is not the only criterion in determining if a claim can be prosecuted. However, if the loss was precipitated by a firm or stockbroker acting against their expected code of conduct, there may indeed be grounds for a successful lawsuit or claim. Simply demonstrating that the broker was at fault is only an initial step in the case. Securities litigation and arbitration is an exceptionally complex area of the law, and exhaustive comprehension of the details of the rules and statutes that regulate it is a prime concern. Our team of experienced Las Vegas FINRA arbitration attorneys has the legal, financial, and practical experience with FINRA cases to safeguard investors’ rights.

What types of broker negligence and fraud are prosecutable under FINRA arbitration?

Investing is based on a system of tolerable risks balanced with potential for financial rewards. Thus, every investment constitutes some level of risk. The issues arise when an investor client is not fully briefed on the risk involved, the details of the potential payout of the investment, or of any potential conflicts of interest for the broker or investment firm. Every investor has their own unique needs and expectations for how their money should be utilized. When those needs are flagrantly disrespected, brokers have failed to follow suitability criteria. In any of these situations, the trust investors have given to their brokers has been breached, and when financial losses ensue, the broker and firm may be held legally responsible for negligence or fraud.

It is impossible to list all the ways in which a broker or investment firm may be deceitful, duplicitous, or merely negligent in serving their clients. At our firm, we have extensive experience with the most common types of Las Vegas broker misconduct.

What is FINRA arbitration?

The vast majority of investment disputes are now required to be addressed via arbitration, as per the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA cases require proficient lawyers, skilled in negotiation, familiar with specialized evidentiary rules, and with strong financial knowledge. Our attorneys can escort you through the FINRA arbitration process. Knowing how to select arbitrators, exploring what types of cases can be heard, and investigating what evidence is admissible are all ways in which our seasoned Las Vegas FINRA arbitration attorneys can aid you. Our team has the acumen to pinpoint and clearly communicate the various ways both brokers and firms can be held to account for the greatest possible damages.

Why Choose The Frankowski Firm?

What types of investments are susceptible to fraud?

Just as brokers or investment firms can be held liable for their actions or for failing to take a particular action, they can also be held responsible for recommending certain investment products that are often associated with fraudulent or misleading claims. The following investment products are rarely suitable for casual investors, due to their high level of risk or inherently concealed attributes:

Mutual funds

Mutual funds are a type of pooled investment loss claims that have many potential dangers that a circumspect broker should make clear to investors.

Master limited partnerships (MLPs)

The risks of these investments are numerous and the only incentive is the rare potential for high returns. Because of the untenably high risks involved, these are rarely suitable for unwitting investors.

Non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs)

As illiquid, low regulation investments with high upfront fees, these are unstable and are frequently created through conflicts of interest that benefit the broker at the cost of the investor’s potential profit.

Closed-end funds

Another investment option that is lucrative for the broker, but generally risky for the investor client.

Penny stocks

These low-value stocks are not listed on national exchanges and are risky because their value is hard to determine; furthermore, they can be hard to sell and have less regulations than other investments.

Note

Not every investment of these types will lead to a loss or entail misconduct; nevertheless, many of our clients have only seen heartache and financial insolvency result from these ventures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as investment fraud in Las Vegas?

Investment fraud involves deceptive practices that lead to financial loss, such as Ponzi schemes, unauthorized trading, misrepresentation of risks, or selling unregistered securities. If you suspect misconduct or were misled by a financial advisor or broker, you may have a case.

How do I know if my broker was negligent or committed securities fraud?

Common signs include unexplained losses, transactions you didn’t authorize, overly risky investments for your profile, or lack of disclosure about fees and risks. An attorney can review your account statements and communications to assess whether there was negligence or fraud.

What should I do if I believe I’m a victim of investment fraud?

Document everything—emails, statements, notes from conversations—and contact a securities fraud attorney immediately. Prompt action can help recover losses and prevent further harm, especially if multiple victims are involved.

Can I recover my losses from securities negligence or fraud?

Yes, depending on the circumstances. Through FINRA arbitration, mediation, or litigation, victims may recover lost investments, fees, or damages. An experienced attorney can guide you through the most effective legal strategy.
