Identifying Broker Misconduct in Michigan
A stockbroker may negligently or intentionally engage in acts of misconduct. Negligent misconduct may come from the careless treatment of an investor’s portfolio, such as failing to take the appropriate amount of time to review an investment opportunity before recommending it to the client. Intentional misconduct is fraud – knowingly deceiving the investor for the broker’s financial gain. Stockbroker misconduct can take many shapes and forms in Michigan.

- Ponzi schemes
- Boiler room scams

From making unauthorized trade deals with an investor’s assets to buying or selling securities at an unreasonable rate for commissions, a stockbroker could engage in many acts of misconduct that ultimately cause economic injury to the investor. At Meyer Wilson, we can review your current circumstances for signs of broker misconduct. If we believe you have a case, we can then help you bring a claim against the appropriate party in Michigan.
Did Broker Misconduct Cause You Economic Injury?
Broker misconduct is a serious type of wrongdoing. Investors fully trust their stockbrokers and financial advisors to make the right decisions for them based on their needs.
