Common Questions
Miami Investment Fraud — Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Miami a hotspot for securities fraud and investment loss claims?
Miami's large international investor community, significant retiree population, and history of aggressive financial sales practices create an elevated risk environment. South Florida has long been identified by FINRA, the SEC, and state regulators as a region with above-average broker misconduct. We know this market well.
My broker at a Miami brokerage sold me a variable annuity I didn't need. What are my options?
Variable annuity abuse is one of the most common forms of broker misconduct in Florida, particularly targeting seniors and retirees. If the annuity was unsuitable for your age, income, or investment objectives — or if the surrender charges and fees were not adequately disclosed — you may have a strong FINRA arbitration claim. Richard Frankowski is licensed in Florida and handles these cases regularly.
Can I file a FINRA claim in Spanish? Many Miami investors are Spanish-speaking.
FINRA arbitration can accommodate bilingual hearings and documentation. Our firm works with clients and, where necessary, interpreters to ensure language is never a barrier to recovery. Many of our South Florida clients are Spanish-speaking investors who were misled by Spanish-speaking brokers.
How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?
FINRA's six-year eligibility rule governs most broker-dealer claims. Florida's Securities and Investor Protection Act imposes its own limitations periods. Richard Frankowski is licensed in Florida and evaluates all applicable deadlines as part of your free consultation.
Does The Frankowski Firm charge fees upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee — you pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for you. Your consultation is always free.
