What Is Broker Misconduct?

A stockbroker’s job is to purchase and sell securities on behalf of clients in the stock exchange. A stockbroker’s duties are to advise and act on behalf of clients according to their best financial interests, within federal regulations from entities such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If a stockbroker intentionally or negligently breaches these duties, resulting in financial losses to the client, the broker is guilty of misconduct.

• Breach of fiduciary duty
• Churning
• Failure to disclose
• Failure to diversify a portfolio
• Failure to monitor or supervise
• Fraudulent transfer of assets
• Guaranteeing results or profits
• Insider trading
• Ponzi schemes
• Stock market manipulation
• Securities theft
• Unauthorized trading

Giving bad advice to a client is not necessarily the same as broker misconduct. To qualify as misconduct that could lead to a civil claim against the stockbroker, he or she must have made an unsuitable recommendation that a reasonable and prudent broker would not have in the same situation.

Recoverable Losses in a Civil Claim

It is important to go up against a stockbroker for misconduct for many reasons. First, it can hold the broker accountable for wrongdoing and potentially prevent him or her from victimizing other clients. It can also bring you and your family much-needed justice after potentially losing thousands of dollars due to broker misconduct.

You may be eligible for many damages in a civil lawsuit, such as:

• Lost money or assets
• Interest or penalty payments
• Legal costs and attorney’s fees
• Emotional pain and suffering
• Punitive damages

You could recover for economic and non-economic damages related to the misconduct a broker committed against you. An attorney from Meyer Wilson can accurately evaluate your claim and help you demand fair compensation from one or more defendants.
