An investment fraud attorney focuses on identifying misconduct that leads to financial losses and pursuing legal remedies on behalf of investors. These claims often involve complex financial products, misleading disclosures, or failures to meet fiduciary obligations.
Our role includes:
Financial or investment advisors typically owe their clients a fiduciary duty to act in their best interests. When that duty is breached, investors may suffer unnecessary losses. Common forms of advisor misconduct include:
High-risk investments recommendations that do not align with your financial goals, risk tolerance, or time horizon.
Concentrating investments too heavily in a single asset, industry, or strategy, increasing exposure to risk.
Inadequately explaining the risks associated with private placements or other investments before recommending them.
Making frequent trades primarily to generate commissions rather than to benefit the client.
Recommending products that benefit the advisor financially, such as broker misconduct, instead of serving the client’s best interests.
Failing to monitor accounts, provide updates, or adjust strategies as circumstances change.
An experienced investment fraud lawyer can help review your account history to determine whether these actions, including securities fraud or failure to act in your best interest, contributed to your financial losses. If you’ve suffered damages, you may be able to file claims or pursue an investment fraud lawsuit to recover investment losses.
In some cases, the investment itself, rather than the advisor, may be the source of the harm. Companies may engage in conduct that misleads investors and artificially inflates value. Common examples include:
Providing inaccurate or incomplete information to investors or the market.
Manipulating financial reports to appear more profitable or stable than they are can lead to inflated stock prices that eventually crash, harming investors.
When the truth emerges, stock prices may fall sharply, leaving investors with significant losses.
Boards of directors are responsible for overseeing management and acting in the best interests of shareholders. Failures in governance may result in investor harm, including:
Allowing misconduct, mismanagement, or unethical behavior to go unchecked.
Prioritizing personal or third-party interests over those of investors.

If you’ve experienced significant investment losses, it’s crucial to identify the root cause and hold the responsible parties accountable. At Equal Justice Solutions, we conduct a thorough analysis of your case to determine whether your financial advisor, the company, or its board of directors may be to blame. We do this in a way that’s transparent, and affordable.
Every case begins with a free, confidential consultation. During this discussion, we will:
This consultation allows you to make an informed decision about moving forward.
If we believe your claim warrants further review, we offer a comprehensive case analysis for $4,999. This review includes:
Identifying red flags such as unsuitable investments, excessive trading, or a lack of diversification.
Assessing whether fraud, misleading disclosures, or accounting issues played a role.
Evaluating whether fiduciary duties were breached at the corporate level.
Outlining potential paths forward, including litigation, arbitration, or settlement discussions.
Consistent with our faith-based mission grounded on Catholic social teachings, at Equal Justice Solutions, if the $4,999 fee is a financial burden, let us know. With appropriate documentation (like asset sheets or tax returns), we may reduce or waive the fee. We’re committed to making legal assistance affordable, regardless of your financial situation.
Additionally, the $4,999 fee does not cover third-party costs (such as expenses related to other companies or individuals involved in the case), which can add up during litigation. Your attorney will discuss any additional costs with you during the review process.
Many investment fraud cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you do not pay attorney’s fees beyond the initial review unless we recover compensation on your behalf. In some matters, alternative fee arrangements may be more appropriate. Your attorney will explain all available options.
At Equal Justice Solutions, we bring a dedicated and client-focused approach to investment fraud cases. Here’s why our clients trust us to handle their legal matters:

Every case is different, but here are some common warning signs:
Unexplained losses that don’t match your risk profile
Investments you didn’t understand or weren’t clearly explained
Frequent trading in your account (also known as “churning”)
Concentration in a single stock, sector, or investment type
Trades made without your knowledge or approval
High-risk or complex products recommended despite conservative goals
Your advisor becomes evasive or stops communicating after losses
Investment fraud can involve misleading statements, omission of risks, unsuitable investment recommendations, or conflicts of interest. Advisor misconduct might include excessive trading (churning), concentrating your investments in high-risk products, or failing to monitor your portfolio. If you suffered losses and suspect something wasn’t right, it’s worth investigating.
Start by gathering your account statements, emails with your advisor, and any investment documents you received. Then schedule a free consultation with our team. We’ll help you understand your rights and whether you may have a viable claim.
Possibly. Recovery depends on the facts of your case—whether misconduct occurred, who’s responsible, and whether they have assets or insurance to pay a judgment or settlement. We explore all legal options, including litigation, FINRA arbitration, and negotiated settlements.
Not necessarily. Many investment fraud claims are handled through arbitration (especially if a brokerage firm is involved) or resolved through out-of-court settlements. We’ll guide you on the best path for your situation.
Time limits vary depending on the nature of the claim and the parties involved. In some cases, the deadline (statute of limitations) may be as short as two years. It’s important to act quickly so you don’t lose your rights.
Many financial firms require arbitration clauses, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a case. We’re experienced in both litigation and arbitration forums and can advise you on your rights and options.
We offer a free consultation, followed by a detailed case review for $4,999. If cost is a concern, ask about our sliding scale and pro bono options—we’re committed to accessibility and never want cost to be a barrier to justice.
Every case is different, but initial analysis takes about 2–4 weeks. If litigation or arbitration is needed, the process can take several months to over a year. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Possibly, but many claims settle before that stage. If testimony is required, we’ll thoroughly prepare you and walk you through what to expect.
