Our Cases Involve All Types of Investment Products
Increasingly, investment advisors are encouraging their customers to purchase riskier, more complex financial products. In too many cases, these types of investments result in the financial advisor raking in commissions and fees, while the investor loses money. Though, if your broker/brokerage firm does not handle your account properly, even seemingly safe investments can also result in major losses. Our Orange County investment fraud lawyers handle cases involving all types of investment products, including:
- Common stocks, including penny stocks;
- Bonds, such as corporate bonds, government bonds and junk bonds;
- Unregistered securities;
- Annuities and other complex insurance products;
