Investment Fraud Attorneys

Investing money with a financial advisor requires one of the highest forms of trust. When you invest with a financial advisor, you expect that they are being honest and are not withholding any important facts from you. You also expect that they will be careful with your money, and not take any risks without your permission. Unfortunately, it is all too common that this trust is violated.

Carlson Law, P.A. represents investors in high stakes disputes against financial advisors, investment advisors, brokerage and wealth management firms. Our clients depend on us to help recover and secure their life savings and financial future. We are committed to obtaining the best possible outcome for every client.

We have represented investors located throughout Florida, around the nation, and throughout Latin America. A large portion of our practice is dedicated to representing professional athletes who were victims of fraud.

Please contact us for a free and confidential case evaluation if you believe that you are a victim of investment fraud. We are typically retained on a contingency fee basis, which means that we are only compensated if we recover money for you.
