Frequently Asked Questions

What does it cost to hire a Wilmington investment fraud attorney?

Many securities attorneys, including our firm, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay attorney fees only if we recover money for you. We discuss all fee structures upfront during your free consultation.

Can I recover losses from my broker’s unsuitable investment recommendations?

Yes, if your broker recommended investments that were clearly inappropriate for your financial situation, risk tolerance, or investment objectives, you may have grounds for recovery. Brokers have a legal duty to recommend suitable investments based on your individual circumstances.

How do I know if my investment losses were due to fraud rather than market conditions?

Signs of potential fraud include unauthorized transactions, high-pressure sales tactics, promises of guaranteed returns, investments that don’t match your stated goals, or unusual account activity. A securities attorney can review your account statements and communications to determine if misconduct occurred.
