UNSUITABLE INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATION

Recovering Losses from a Risky Annuity

Our clients, a retired couple, lost a significant portion of their retirement savings after their broker recommended they invest in a complex, high-risk annuity. The investment was entirely unsuitable for their conservative risk tolerance and financial goals. Sonn & Erez PLC took decisive action, filing a claim with FINRA arbitration against the brokerage firm. We successfully demonstrated a clear breach of fiduciary duty and recovered their full investment plus damages.

PONZI SCHEME RECOVERY

Securing Justice for Ponzi Scheme Victims

A group of investors came to our firm after their trusted financial advisor placed them in what was later exposed as a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme. The perpetrators used a network of legitimate-looking funds to conceal their fraud. Sonn & Erez PLC worked swiftly to file a claim against the broker-dealer firm for failing to conduct proper due diligence. Our aggressive advocacy led to a successful settlement that helped our clients recoup their substantial losses.

BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY

Holding a Broker Accountable for Misrepresentation

A single parent sought our help after discovering their broker had misrepresented key details about a series of private placements, leading to a total loss of their funds. The broker concealed critical information about the risks and liquidity of the investments. We pursued a claim in securities arbitration, proving the broker's misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty. The case concluded with a significant recovery for our client, allowing them to rebuild their financial future.

SECURITIES ARBITRATION

Advocating for Investors in Medical Capital Note Fraud

Our firm represented multiple investors who suffered losses from the fraudulent sale of Medical Capital Notes. Brokers at a large financial institution failed to disclose the high-risk nature and regulatory issues of these products. Sonn & Erez PLC leveraged its deep expertise in this specific area of fraud to build a robust case. Through tenacious representation in arbitration, we secured a favorable resolution that resulted in a substantial return of funds for our clients.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cases does Sonn & Erez PLC handle?

Our firm specializes in representing investors in cases of financial misconduct and fraud. This includes unsuitable investment recommendations, Ponzi schemes, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and other fraudulent activities by brokerage firms and financial advisors.

What is the firm's fee structure?

We typically represent clients on a contingency-fee basis. This means we only get paid if we secure a recovery for you. Our fees are a percentage of the amount we recover, so there are no up-front legal costs for you to pay.

How long will it take to resolve my case?

The duration of a case can vary widely depending on its complexity and the opposing party. While we work to resolve every case as efficiently as possible, a typical securities arbitration case can take between 12 to 18 months.

How does the initial consultation process work?

We offer a confidential and free initial consultation. You will speak directly with an attorney who will listen to the details of your situation, evaluate the merits of your case, and provide clear guidance on your legal options with no obligation.

Will my case go to trial or arbitration?

Most securities fraud and misconduct cases are resolved through FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) arbitration rather than a traditional court trial. We have extensive experience in securities arbitration and will guide you through every step of the process.

I live outside of Florida; can you still represent me?

Yes. Although we are based in Florida, our firm has a national reputation and represents investors throughout the United States. We have the experience and resources to handle cases against brokerage firms and financial institutions nationwide.
