Serving Tennessee Investors
Investment Fraud Recovery for Nashville Investors
Nashville has become one of the fastest-growing cities in America, attracting corporate relocations, healthcare industry wealth, and a new generation of high-net-worth residents. That growth has been matched by an influx of financial advisors and broker-dealers competing aggressively for investment dollars — sometimes at the expense of the investors they serve.
Richard Frankowski has represented investors across the Southeast in FINRA arbitration for over two decades. He co-authored The Practitioner's Guide to Securities Arbitration and understands how to build and win investor claims against even the largest brokerage firms.
If your Nashville broker made unsuitable recommendations, failed to disclose fees and conflicts of interest, misrepresented an investment, or placed you in a scheme that turned out to be fraud, call us today. We handle all cases on contingency — no fees unless we recover.
Richard Frankowski is licensed in Alabama, Florida, and Texas. He represents investors from all states — including Tennessee — in FINRA arbitration proceedings.
FINRA Arbitration — How It Works
When you opened a brokerage account you almost certainly signed a pre-dispute arbitration agreement requiring any claims to go through FINRA — not Tennessee state court. FINRA arbitration involves formal pleadings, discovery, and a hearing before a panel of arbitrators who issue a binding award.
No Upfront Fees — Ever
Every investment fraud case we take is handled on a contingency fee. You've already lost money. We don't ask you to pay more to get it back — we only get paid when you do.
Act Before Deadlines Pass
FINRA's six-year eligibility rule and Tennessee's securities law limitations periods mean delay is dangerous. Call us as soon as you suspect misconduct.

Common Questions
Nashville Investment Fraud — Frequently Asked Questions
Nashville is growing fast. Are investment fraud cases common in Tennessee?
Yes. Nashville's rapid economic growth has attracted a surge of financial advisors, independent broker-dealers, and investment product salespeople targeting newly wealthy professionals, entrepreneurs, and retirees. The Tennessee Securities Division regularly takes enforcement actions against brokers, and FINRA filings from Middle Tennessee have increased in recent years.
I invested with a Nashville financial advisor who moved my money into something risky without fully explaining it. What can I do?
If your advisor recommended an unsuitable investment — without adequately explaining the risks, fees, or conflicts of interest — you may have a FINRA arbitration claim. Richard Frankowski represents Tennessee investors in FINRA proceedings and can evaluate your situation at no charge.
Does Tennessee law provide any additional investor protection?
Yes. Tennessee's Securities Act of 1980 provides a private right of action for investors who are defrauded in connection with the sale of securities. Richard Frankowski evaluates both FINRA arbitration claims and state law claims to maximize your recovery options.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
FINRA has a six-year eligibility rule. Tennessee state securities law limitations periods may be shorter. Don't delay — call us as soon as you suspect misconduct so we can protect your rights and preserve evidence.
Does The Frankowski Firm charge fees upfront for Nashville cases?
No. We handle all investment fraud and securities arbitration cases on a contingency fee. No fees unless we recover money for you. Your consultation is free.
