When people lose money on an investment, they often blame themselves. I should have done more research. I should have diversified. While it is easy to imagine what you should have done, the loss may not be your fault.
Investment advisors are trained professionals who go to great lengths to gain investors' trust. So, when an advisor suggests an options strategy, it is only natural that you listen to him or her. The only problem is that some advisors engage in negligent, reckless and downright illegal actions that can lead to great financial loss for investors.
Do I Have a Case?
When you have lost money on an investment, if you feel like a financial professional has done something wrong, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Turn to Muldoon & Muldoon, LLC. We can assess your situation and help you understand your rights.
We represent investors who have experienced financial injury because of securities fraud or commodities fraud. We also help those who have been mistreated in their business dealings, including investors in securities and commodities. These cases involve IRAs, stocks, investments in commodities, retirement accounts and other investments.
Commodities Fraud
Investors are often told that commodity options investments are much safer than the stock market or straight futures contracts, but this is not true. The truth is that commodity options are just as volatile as anything else, and it is possible to lose significant amounts of money in commodities trading.
The problem with commodity options trading is that it can be exceptionally complex. Investors often are not familiar enough with the market to protect themselves from fraud. Knowing this, dishonest financial advisors take advantage — often throwing complex terms around just to get investors' minds spinning and their wallets open.
Protecting Your Rights, Fighting for You
Negligent brokers are often protected by large, powerful insurance companies that will do anything to reduce the amount of compensation owed to injury victims. If you have been injured, you need a tough attorney to protect your rights in Illinois courts. At Muldoon & Muldoon, LLC, we take powerful, effective action that gets results. Our lawyers stand up for investors against brokers and their insurance companies – never getting intimidated and never backing down.
To achieve favorable results in your securities fraud or commodities fraud case, we often use creative legal strategies to get results. Big insurance companies are full of lawyers who are trained to think a certain way. They often do not see how powerful our legal strategies actually are until our clients have gained leverage in the courtroom. While Muldoon & Muldoon, LLC, is a boutique injury litigation firm, our creativity, flexibility and experience helps us obtain favorable results – even against the biggest companies.
Attorney John Muldoon is a registered securities broker and a registered investment advisor as well as an attorney. For more than 25 years, John has focused his career on protecting clients from financial injury. If you have been hurt by a bad investment — or if you are simply worried that an advisor's sales pitch is too good to be true — contact our law firm for a free consultation.
