Serving California Investors
Investment Fraud Recovery for Sacramento Investors
Sacramento is home to a large public sector workforce — state employees, teachers, and government workers who have accumulated retirement savings over long careers. Supplemental investment accounts and IRA rollovers in these communities are frequently targeted by brokers recommending high-commission products, often with little regard for the client's actual financial needs.
Richard Frankowski has represented California investors in FINRA arbitration for over two decades. He co-authored The Practitioner's Guide to Securities Arbitration and understands how to aggressively pursue investor claims in the FINRA arbitration forum — the process governing most broker misconduct claims.
We work on a contingency fee — no fees unless we recover money for you. Call us for a free, confidential evaluation of your claim.

Common Questions
Sacramento Investment Fraud — Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a Sacramento-area investor and my broker lost a significant portion of my retirement account. What should I do?
Call us immediately. If your broker made unsuitable recommendations, failed to disclose risks, misrepresented a product, or engaged in unauthorized trading, you may have a FINRA arbitration claim. Richard Frankowski represents California investors in FINRA proceedings and offers a free, confidential evaluation.
Sacramento has many state employees and public sector workers with retirement savings. Are they also at risk for investment fraud?
Yes — in fact, supplemental investment accounts and rollover IRA accounts opened by government workers are frequently targeted by brokers who pitch high-commission products like variable annuities. If a broker recommended you roll over your CalPERS or CalSTRS account into a private investment that performed poorly, that may be actionable.
Can The Frankowski Firm represent California investors in FINRA arbitration?
Yes. Richard Frankowski is not licensed in California, but FINRA arbitration is governed by federal rules — not state bar admission. He represents investors from all states, including California, in FINRA arbitration proceedings and has done so for over two decades.
What kinds of investment fraud are most common in Sacramento?
Sacramento-area investors are frequently targeted through real estate investment schemes, non-traded REIT sales, variable annuity churning, and alternative investment pitches. The Sacramento area's mix of state workers, retirees, and agricultural wealth makes it a regular target for high-commission product sales.
Is there a fee to consult with The Frankowski Firm?
