Your financial advisor has a responsibility to act in your best interests, but breaches of this fiduciary duty can cause significant financial damage. Common forms of advisor misconduct that contribute to investment losses include:
Recommending investments that are misaligned with your personal financial objectives, risk profile, or investment timeline can produce unnecessary and avoidable losses.
Portfolios that are concentrated in too few sectors or assets can magnify losses if those areas underperform, leaving your investments exposed to higher risk.
If the advisor did not provide complete disclosure about potential risks, you may have unknowingly taken on more risk than intended, leading to substantial losses.
Excessive trading conducted to generate commissions rather than to benefit your portfolio can reduce overall returns and cause serious financial harm.
Advisors with financial incentives to recommend specific products may prioritize their compensation over your best interests, creating biased advice.
When advisors fail to monitor accounts, provide necessary updates, or adjust recommendations appropriately, it can result in financial losses that could have been prevented through proper oversight.
Investment losses can sometimes be traced directly to corporate wrongdoing. When companies lie to shareholders, manipulate financial records, or engage in deceptive practices, the market reacts, often causing stock values to drop and leaving investors with serious losses. Typical areas of corporate misconduct include:
Companies must provide honest and accurate information to investors. Misrepresentations or incomplete disclosures can mislead shareholders and result in poor investment decisions with financial consequences.
Deliberate manipulation of financial statements to overstate profits or hide weaknesses can temporarily boost stock prices, only to collapse later, leaving investors to absorb the resulting financial damage.
The board of directors is entrusted with the responsibility to act for the benefit of shareholders. When board members fail to uphold these responsibilities through neglect, self-interest, or misconduct, shareholders can face serious financial damage. Typical breaches include:
It is the board’s role to oversee management and ensure that the company operates effectively and ethically. When the board neglects this responsibility, poor decisions or unethical practices may continue unchecked, leading to financial losses.
Directors are required to prioritize shareholder interests above all else. If they fail to do so, the result can be adverse outcomes such as reduced stock performance, missed strategic opportunities, or other financial detriment.
When investment losses are substantial, understanding the cause and holding the correct parties accountable is critical. At Equal Justice Solutions, we conduct a detailed evaluation of your case to determine whether responsibility lies with your financial advisor, the company, or the board of directors. Our process is designed to be clear, fair, and affordable.
During your free initial consultation, our team will:
Once your initial consultation is complete and we believe we can assist, we offer a comprehensive case analysis for $999.* This process involves a thorough examination of multiple aspects of your investments and related corporate conduct, including:
We analyze your investment portfolio in detail to identify potential misconduct by financial advisors, inappropriate investment allocations, or lack of diversification that may have caused losses.
Our team investigates the companies associated with your investments to uncover fraud, misleading disclosures, accounting irregularities, or other corporate mismanagement that could have affected your returns.
We assess whether the company’s board of directors met their fiduciary obligations to shareholders or if decisions and inaction on their part contributed to financial harm.
Based on the results of our comprehensive review, we present a tailored strategy for pursuing compensation, which may involve initiating legal action, engaging in arbitration proceedings, or negotiating a settlement to recover your financial losses.
*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.
