Denver Colorado Securities Law Attorney
Stock Churning – Investment Fraud
A stockbroker is entrusted to make commissioned stock trades for the benefit of the investor. When the broker abuses this relationship by conducting excessive trading to generate commissions, it is called stock churning. If you suspect that your broker is charging commissions for unnecessary trading on the stock market, contact our Denver, Colorado, stock fraud attorney.
At the Hutchinson Law Firm we represent investors who have suffered financial damages due to unethical and illegal actions of a broker or financial advisor. Our Denver securities litigation attorney can help people across the nation recover investment losses. We provide a strong voice in NASD arbitration proceedings, where most securities disputes are resolved.
Stock Churning
Investor agreements authorize brokers to buy stock and sell stock for the benefit of their clients. Over-trading an account to generate commissions can constitute a breach of fiduciary duty and is considered an act of stock fraud, where the broker had control over the investor’s account and that excessive trading occurred.
When is it too late to file a claim?
In some stock churning cases a statute of limitations does apply. But in matters involving a cover-up on the part of the broker or investment firm, the filing deadlines do not apply. Whatever your situation is, it is important to call a securities attorney as soon as possible.
