Securities Litigation Cases Handled By Our Firm

Our dedicated Peoria securities litigation lawyers are prepared to handle various kinds of cases involving securities fraud, such as:

Breach of Fiduciary Duty

A fiduciary duty is an obligation to act in the best interest of the investors and not place personal gain ahead of the securities. A breach of fiduciary duty happens when a broker or firm is seeking profit over the client, such as self-dealing, embezzling funds, or failing to disclose important details causing misrepresentation.

Market Manipulation

This can happen when a broker or firm manipulates the appearance of a security, such as the price or availability of a bond. Market manipulation could be used to convince the investor to make decisions based on false information. Once a security is bought and the price goes up, the broker cashes out shares for profit.

Insider Trading

When an individual uses knowledge that is not public to benefit from a transaction, this is known as insider trading. This could include brokers or financial advisors who tip others off about a company’s impending announcement or misappropriate sensitive information from their employers and then trade stock on that information.

Churning

This can happen when a broker is constantly buying or trading stocks for his or her own profit in order to obtain a quick commission from each transaction. Churning can put an investor’s money at serious risk. Investors must be able to prove that the broker was in direct control over the account and excessive in his or her actions.

Unauthorized Trading

When a broker trades against the wishes and interests of the investor, this is considered unauthorized trading and a securities violation. There are certain exceptions in which a broker may not need to get a client’s specific consent to make a trade as it is sometimes a part of his or her job.

Broker Misconduct

Brokers could be held liable for any actions that put self-interests above those of their clients, such as excessively trading stocks to create additional broker fees or making inappropriate investments for their clients.
