We help securities investors recover investment losses from their investment advisers or brokerage firms. Our stockbroker fraud attorneys have successfully represented hundreds of investors in broker dispute cases against large and small investment firms. We also have extensive experience working on the opposite side, defending the brokerage firms, financial advisers and insurance companies responsible for these investment losses. We now use our knowledge of how the other side operates to get the best possible results for our clients.

Puerto Rico investors are protected by various federal and state laws and statutes, that along with industry rules prohibit broker misconduct. Unfortunately, investors are rarely compensated by state securities regulators for their investment losses. The best chance of recovery requires independent action by the investor with the help of an experienced securities attorney. Each lawyer and staff member of our firm is devoted to assisting investors to recover losses caused by fraud, misrepresentation, omissions of material facts, breach of fiduciary duty, conflicts of interest, self-dealing, unauthorized trades, selling away, unsuitability, over-concentration,  or other wrongful acts, whether intentional or negligent.

Whether in state or federal court, or in arbitration proceedings, Furgison Law Group helps investors recover their investment losses. And we only earn an attorney fee if we recover money for you.
