Financial advisors, investment advisors, and financial planners are required by law to handle their client’s money responsibly and refrain from committing fraud or other forms of misconduct.
Our securities lawyers specialize in financial advisor misconduct. If your financial advisor has engaged in any form of fraud or negligence, you may be able to file a complaint or sue your advisor to recover your losses.
Your ability to recover your losses due to financial advisor malpractice is dependent on a number of factors. Where and how you can sue your advisor changes depending on federal and state laws, the investments you hold, and the terms of the customer agreement or contract you signed when you began working with your advisor.
Bringing a case against your financial advisor can be a complex process. A good case often requires an attorney with in-depth knowledge about financial advisors and the financial industry.
The attorneys at Gibbs Law Group are extremely experienced in financial fraud litigation and have the track-record to prove it.
There are many different ways to sue your financial advisor and hold them accountable for fraud or negligence. Gibbs Law Group handles some of the most complex financial advisor cases, including:
In some instances, instead of pursuing a case through court, you may be able to pursue your case through the FINRA arbitration process.
FINRA recommends that you consider hiring an attorney when pursuing FINRA arbitration or mediation. This is because, according to FINRA, advisor firms are generally represented by an attorney. Firm’s attorneys are often well-versed in financial advisor conduct and the industry. In order to build a strong case against your advisor, you may need a lawyer who is just as, if not more, experienced that your advisor’s defense.
Gibbs Law Group has the financial expertise to properly represent you against your financial advisor. We work on a contingency basis, meaning there are no up-front fees. We only get paid if we win.

If you think your financial advisor took advantage of you or a family member, there are steps you can immediately take to fight back:
Some investors are concerned about the prospect of paying an hourly rate or having to pay out-of-pocket in advance for legal representation to sue their financial advisor. We represent our clients on a contingency or “success-fee” basis, which means that if you win the case, the lawyer’s fee comes out of the money awarded to you. If you lose, you will not be required to pay your attorney for the work done on the case.
We are happy to discuss any questions related to our fees as well as different arrangements we can structure.
