Have you suffered financial losses because of bad investment advice, stockbroker misconduct, or securities negligence in Las Vegas? When you trusted a financial professional to protect your savings, you expected honesty and skill. Instead, you may now face unexpected losses, uncertainty about your future, and stress over how to recover. You are not alone, and you do have legal options.
At The Frankowski Firm, our Las Vegas investment fraud lawyers represent individuals, retirees, and institutions harmed by deceptive or negligent financial professionals. With decades of combined experience in FINRA arbitration and securities litigation, our attorneys fight to recover losses and hold brokers and firms accountable for misconduct in Nevada.
The Frankowski Firm has earned a reputation as a leader in investment fraud and securities negligence law. From our office in Las Vegas, we represent local investors, retirees who moved to Nevada for their golden years, casino employees with retirement funds, and professionals who placed their trust in advisors.
Our securities attorneys focus exclusively on protecting investors’ rights. Whether your broker misrepresented risks, failed to diversify your portfolio, or ignored your investment goals, we provide strategic legal action designed to recover your losses. We also understand Nevada’s securities environment and can guide clients through both state-level regulations and federal securities laws.
Not every investment that loses value creates a valid claim. However, when the loss results from a broker’s negligence, dishonesty, or breach of duty, you may have grounds for recovery.
Common grounds for investment fraud claims in Las Vegas include:
Unsuitable investment recommendations that ignored your risk tolerance.
Misrepresentation or failure to disclose critical details about an investment.
Excessive trading (churning) to generate broker commissions.
Overconcentration of funds in a single risky investment.
Conflicts of interest where the broker benefited at your expense.
Our Las Vegas securities fraud attorneys evaluate each case carefully. By investigating broker conduct, analyzing investment documents, and consulting financial experts, we determine whether negligence or fraud led to your losses.
Most disputes between investors and brokers must be resolved through arbitration before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). This process replaces traditional courtroom litigation for most securities claims.
FINRA arbitration cases require lawyers who:
Understand the specialized rules of securities arbitration.
Can select fair arbitrators familiar with complex financial disputes.
Know how to present evidence effectively.
Have the financial knowledge to explain complex investments.
Our Las Vegas FINRA attorneys guide clients through every step of the arbitration process, from filing the claim to final hearings. We have successfully represented Nevada investors against major brokerage firms, securing meaningful compensation for their losses.
Investing always involves some level of risk. But investors have the right to expect that their brokers will provide honest advice, disclose risks, and act in their clients’ best interests. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen.
Our Las Vegas stockbroker fraud lawyers frequently handle cases involving:
Unsuitable recommendations: Selling risky or complex investments to retirees or conservative investors.
Failure to diversify: Concentrating client portfolios in one sector, leaving investors exposed to devastating losses.
Churning: Excessive trading designed to generate commissions rather than protect client wealth.
Unauthorized trading: Buying or selling securities without the investor’s consent.
Misrepresentation and omission: Providing misleading information or concealing critical risks.
These forms of misconduct are violations of both FINRA regulations and Nevada securities laws. When brokers breach their duty of care, our attorneys fight to hold them accountable.
Las Vegas is no stranger to financial schemes and risky investments. Many fraudulent brokers target Nevada retirees and residents with promises of high returns. Our firm has seen countless cases where unsuitable or deceptive investment products caused life-changing losses.
Problematic investments often include:
Non-traded REITs: Pitched as safe real estate ventures but often illiquid and high risk.
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs): Complex structures that can be unsuitable for average investors.
Penny stocks: Highly speculative and vulnerable to manipulation.
Closed-end funds: Frequently misrepresented to unsophisticated investors.
Cryptocurrency and alternative assets: Popular in Nevada but often sold with misleading claims.
While these investments may not always involve fraud, many Las Vegas investors were never properly warned about the risks. If your broker recommended one of these products without fully disclosing its dangers, you may have a valid securities negligence claim.
Every investor in Nevada is entitled to basic protections under federal securities laws and the Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 90, which governs state securities regulations. The Nevada Securities Division enforces these laws and investigates fraudulent activities affecting residents.
Your rights as a Las Vegas investor include:
The right to honest and complete disclosure of investment risks.
The right to have your financial goals and risk tolerance respected.
The right to pursue legal remedies if your broker or firm violates securities laws.
Our attorneys emphasize education alongside advocacy. We guide clients through critical conversations with brokers, explain red flags to watch for, and provide resources to strengthen future investment decisions.
If you lost money through broker misconduct, negligence, or investment fraud in Las Vegas, don’t assume it was just market forces. Many financial losses can be traced directly to broker wrongdoing.
