Significant declines in retirement accounts and investments due to our troubled economy have prompted plaintiff firms to advertise that people may have luck recovering their financial losses if they sue for professional misconduct (a.k.a. "bad advice"). Financial advisors, brokers, banks, trust departments, insurance agents, and accountants are being blamed for the poor performance of certain funds, which have been declared inappropriate for an investor's goals, age, short-term, and/or long-term needs.
At Steptoe & Johnson, our team of experienced attorneys stand ready to assist clients with advice on, and defense of, alleged financial professional misconduct.
