Negligent Investment Management

Financial advisors and brokers sometimes just make mistakes, with no ill will intended. This commonly comes in the form of retirement planning negligence or failing to diversify a portfolio. Advisors or brokers who have acted negligently or who have failed to meet industry standards are subject to a negligence claim that can be brought in arbitration. If you feel that you've lost investments due to your advisor or broker's inattentiveness, negligence, or failure to perform due diligence, you may be able to recover those losses. Brokerage firms have a responsibility to properly supervise and manage client investment accounts, and failure to do so can have serious legal and financial consequences.

The securities attorneys at Eccleston Law are well-versed in the financial industry, industry standards, investment negligence, retirement planning negligence and fraud. We represent investors nationwide. The process of pursuing a claim involves several steps. Our attorneys, as experienced professionals and lawyers, represent clients in these cases to help recover financial compensation for investment losses.

I am grateful to have found an outstanding law firm that specializes in securities matters. My lawyers were extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and are skilled litigators. No stone was left upturned. As a result of their experience and tenacity, the arbitration proceeding was dismissed in my favor.

Bill C. and Dan M.

Thank You from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for us. When we realized this was a very bad investment - we did not know where to turn for help. Then we received your name. When we called you - you were so kind to us and then agreed to help us. For this we are so very grateful. The world would be a much nicer place if there were more people like the two of you in it. We will always remember all the help and kindness you have shown us. Thank you so very very much for everything.

Jim, Stephany and the whole team were a God send.  We felt like we were put into a situation where we had no advocate. Jim's team came in with a strong, well laid out strategy on how to get our story heard. Where our outside compliance company had no ability to help, our Broker Dealer was impenitent, and the regulators were aggressive pursuing vague rules, Jim came like a barricade against an assault we did not understand. Though you pay member dues to be affiliated with FINRA and a B/D, you have no voice. The only thing that is truly heard in this un-level playing field is a bulldog's bark like Jim's. I would encourage anyone to call Jim and his team to find a real ally in the tough and complicated world of securities regulation. They are truly the best.
