Investment losses can feel overwhelming, especially when caused by misconduct or mismanagement beyond your control. If your losses arose from a financial advisor’s negligence, corporate fraud, or a board’s failure to act responsibly, our team is ready to help you understand your legal options and pursue the recovery you deserve.
For clients in Delaware, reach out today for a complimentary consultation and have our legal team thoroughly review your situation. You can complete the form below or call us directly. We are prepared to help you fight for your financial interests right here in Delaware.
Financial advisors are generally expected to act in a fiduciary capacity, placing your interests above their own. When they breach this duty, the consequences can be financially significant. Common examples of misconduct include:
Advisors may recommend investments that are inconsistent with your stated goals, risk appetite, or time horizon, exposing you to unnecessary losses.
Portfolios lacking adequate diversification are particularly susceptible to losses if certain sectors or assets underperform, increasing your overall risk.
When advisors fail to explain the risks of an investment clearly, you may unknowingly assume a level of risk that exceeds your comfort or capacity, resulting in financial harm.
Engaging in frequent buying and selling primarily to generate commissions, rather than to serve your financial strategy, can gradually erode your investment balance.
Advisors who earn incentives from recommending specific products may provide advice that benefits themselves at the expense of your portfolio.
Lack of ongoing monitoring, failure to communicate key information, or outdated recommendations can lead to losses that might have been avoided with diligent oversight.
Sometimes, the responsibility for investment losses lies with the corporation itself. If a company provides false information to the market, falsifies its financial statements, or engages in deceptive business practices, shareholders may suffer major financial harm as stock prices decline. Key areas of concern include:
Companies have a legal obligation to provide truthful, complete, and accurate information to the investing public. When they provide misleading statements or omit critical facts, investors can make decisions that result in significant losses.
When a company alters its financial reporting to exaggerate profitability or stability, the resulting inflated stock value may eventually collapse, causing shareholders to lose substantial amounts of their investment.
A company’s board of directors has a fundamental responsibility to act in a manner that protects the interests of its shareholders. When this duty is not fulfilled, whether due to oversight failures, conflicts, or misconduct, the financial well-being of shareholders may be severely impacted. Common examples include:
The board has the duty to supervise management and ensure that decisions are aligned with company and shareholder interests. When this oversight is absent, management errors or unethical behavior can go unchecked, resulting in financial losses.
The board must consistently act to advance the interests of shareholders. When directors fail in this obligation, negative consequences such as declining stock value, lost growth opportunities, or other financial setbacks may occur.
Experiencing significant investment losses can be both stressful and financially damaging. It is vital to identify the source of the loss and take appropriate action against the responsible parties. At Equal Justice Solutions, we perform a comprehensive review of your case to determine if your financial advisor, the company, or its board may be liable. We strive to do this with full transparency and cost-consciousness.
Upon contacting us, you will receive a free initial consultation. In this meeting, we will:
After your initial consultation, if we believe we can provide meaningful assistance, we offer a detailed case assessment for a cost of $999.* During this period, we undertake the following steps:
We perform a detailed examination of your investment portfolio to detect signs of advisor negligence, unsuitable investment decisions, or inadequate diversification that may have impacted your financial position.
We investigate the companies where your funds are invested to uncover any fraudulent practices, misleading financial reporting, or accounting discrepancies that may have contributed to losses.
Our team reviews the actions and decisions of the board of directors to determine whether they fulfilled their duty to protect shareholder interests or if lapses in oversight caused financial harm.
Following our findings, we provide a strategic plan outlining the most effective approaches to recover losses. Options may include filing litigation, pursuing arbitration, or negotiating a settlement to address the damages suffered.
*Consistent with our faith-based mission, if the $999 fee is cost prohibitive for you, please let us know. With proper documentation (such as an asset sheet, tax returns, etc.), we can reduce or waive the initial fee. Our commitment is to ensure that everyone has access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. Additionally, the $999 fee does not include costs to third parties (companies and individuals not affiliated with Equal Justice Solutions), which may be significant in the event of litigation. Your attorney will go over anticipated out of pocket costs with you as part of the review process.
In many cases, we will take investment loss matters on a contingency, meaning you don’t pay Equal Justice Solutions anything other than the initial review fee of $999, unless we obtain compensation for you. However, in some cases, it may be more appropriate to use an alternative fee arrangement. Your lawyer will discuss your options with you.
For clients in Delaware, it is important not to let investment losses resulting from someone else’s wrongdoing go unchallenged. Reach out today for a free consultation and allow us to help you begin the process of recovering what you have lost.
