The investments or retirement funds you have worked hard for and carefully set aside can be lost in a moment when dishonest brokers or brokerage firms engage in fraud or negligence. If you have experienced a loss in your investments that you believe may not be due solely to market changes, you may be able to recover those losses. Often, brokers use their position of trust to make recommendations that are unsuitable or take actions which line their own pockets. It can be difficult to know when your investment loss is due to misconduct or negligence given this position of trust and the investment expertise a broker purports to represent.
