Seeking Justice for Stockbroker Misconduct and Negligence

Brokerage firms have a strict legal and fiduciary obligation to ensure that the investment products they recommend are suitable for their clients' age, financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment goals. Unfortunately, many brokers prioritize high commissions over their clients' financial well-being. Our skilled securities litigation lawyers represent victims of various forms of stockbroker misconduct, including churning (excessive trading to generate commissions), unauthorized trading, misrepresentation of risks, and failure to diversify. When you hire an attorney from Maddox Hargett & Caruso, P.C., we thoroughly analyze your account statements, identify red flags, and build a powerful case to hold the negligent brokerage firm accountable for your losses.

Strategic FINRA Securities Arbitration and Litigation

The vast majority of disputes between investors and brokerage firms cannot be resolved in traditional courts. Instead, they must be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Navigating FINRA arbitration is a highly specialized process that requires a deep understanding of securities laws and industry regulations. Our firm possesses decades of experience representing investors in FINRA arbitration proceedings across the country. We guide you through every step of the process, from drafting and filing the statement of claim to presenting compelling evidence and arguments before the arbitration panel. We are proud to operate primarily on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we successfully recover funds on your behalf.

Uncovering Complex Fraudulent Schemes and Toxic Products

Investment fraud often involves highly complex financial products and schemes that are difficult for regular investors to detect. Our legal team has successfully investigated and litigated claims involving Ponzi schemes, unsuitable private placements, high-yield promissory notes, toxic real estate investment trusts (REITs), annuities, and master limited partnerships (MLPs). If you need an investment fraud lawyer urgently to evaluate whether your advisor recommended an unsuitable or toxic product, our senior partner Mark Maddox and our experienced legal team are prepared to provide a free initial consultation. We bring the clinical analytical skills and legal resources necessary to expose deceptive practices and protect your assets.

Nationally Recognized Advocates Committed to Client Success

Our firm's commitment to excellence and ethical advocacy has earned us numerous awards and recognitions, including the prestigious AV Preeminent rating by Martindale-Hubbell, which represents the highest level of professional experience and ethical standards. Our attorneys are active members of the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA) and have frequently been invited to testify before congressional committees and regulatory bodies on investor protection issues. We believe that no financial institution is too large to be held accountable for unethical behavior.
