We Will Maximize
Recovery of Your Losses

A Client Speaks Out

On average, we obtain arbitration awards for our clients that are more than twice the national average for PIABA attorneys.

Nationally, PIABA attorneys have an average recovery of  13.6%. Please keep in mind that this number represents all claims that went to hearing, all winners and all losers combined. It is also less than half of what Investors Recovery Service obtained for its clients in arbitration since 1991.

So, if you are thinking that you need an experienced PIABA attorney, think again. Our experience and our results suggest larger settlements and larger arbitration awards. It's your money - select wisely who to trust because you only get one chance in arbitration.  ....More

"Thank you for representing us in my arbitration against XX. No attorney would touch my case unless I agreed to pay them $185.00 an hour with a substantial up front retainer.

You were my only source for potential recovery of my life savings. Your representation of my claim at the securities arbitration hearing made it clear that the broker lied to me about the risks of the investment and then continued to lie to us concerning the declining value. I wish you the best of luck in your continuing battle against bad brokers such as these. "

Did You Lose Money with the
Madoff Securities Ponzi Scheme?

If you have a Bernard Madoff Securities brokerage statement that shows you had securities in your account as of December 11, 2008, you should file a claim with the SIPC to recover your losses.

But, you should have us file the claim and correspond with SIPC.  If you do this on your own, it could be a disaster.  SIPC claims take expertise. Don’t hire someone who has never handled one, and who gets his “training” in this area on your claim. It could be the most expensive mistake you ever make.

Did you lose money on Fanny Mae Securities?

Based on what we know about how Fanny Mae preferred stock was sold to the public, it is apparent that while Fanny Mae was redeeming its corporate bonds (backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Govt.) brokerage firms were selling a boat load of their preferred. As you learned the hard way, the preferred is not anything like their bonds. The problem is that brokers misled the public about the safety of Fannie Mae preferred stock.

If you were one of those that were misled about your investment in Fannie Mae preferred stock, we can help you recover these losses. The class action will likely get you just a few pennies on the dollar, probably between 5-10%, while we may get you ALL, 100% of your loss back, plus interest!

Did Schwab Yield Plus Cost You Money?

If you lost money in Schwab YieldPlus Funds, please call and find out how you may recover those losses. We have spoken with several investors that were told by their Schwab brokers, this was a "safe, secure investment". The reality, nothing could have been farther from the truth. Back in the early 90's we dealt with a some what similar situation with the Dean Witter High Yield Fund. It too was marketed directly to investors looking for safety, when it should have sold to investors wanting to speculate. Different culprits, different victims, same old same old.

Call us today and we will show you how to recoup your losses from Schwab Yield Plus.


Did you lose money at Bear Stearns
or in Bear Stearns Securities? 
Call now for expert advice on how to proceed.

Investors have been led astray by Bear Stearns execs. Bear Stearns management utterly failed to properly disclose the potential risk to their net worth on risky mortgage backed securities. They margined these securities with valuations that were not independently determined by the market place but by themselves. These mortgage related losses were not due so much to "illiquidity" as they like to say, but by greed and lies. Click to read more about Bear Stearns losses.


Do you have losses with
Bankers Integration Group or BIG FNI?

If you invested in the securities of this company we may be able to help you recover your investment losses. Please contact us for a free stock fraud case review.


Have you lost money in Commodities / Options??

We have filed several complaints over the last few months, where the losses are in the $100-200k range and the commissions are in the $50,000 to $100,000 range for people trading commodities options. The reason why the commissions are so high is that in a bull market the clients often make money, but that is because they take small profits. When the eventual big loss comes, the broker does not have big profits to offset the big loss. That is why churning always ends up with the clients losing. These brokers do the opposite of what they are supposed to do, namely let your profits run and cut your losses short. 

If you have suffered from this type of trading in your account, we may be able to help you recover your losses.  Please contact us immediately for a free, confidential consultation.


Did you get "Burned and Churned" by your Broker Dealer?

During the recent bull market, some of the smaller broker dealers have engaged in excessive trading in their clients accounts.  We have filed some investment fraud complaints with with losses of $100,000 to $200,000 and total commissions of over $100,000!  If you think your broker excessively churned your account, please contact us immediately for a free, confidential consultation (Examples of smaller broker dealers are JP Turner, Joseph Stevens & Co. and Oppenheimer.)


Attention Wachovia and First Clearing customers:

Did your broker sell you risky investments even though you never wanted to take a lot of risk. Brokers are supposed to ask for a customer's risk tolerance up front, and only recommend investments that fit. Wachovia and First Clearing recommended the risky investments that they wanted to sell, and then changed their records to reflect that risk was what the customer wanted.

Over 300,000 Wachovia brokerage customers had their investment objectives changed, but were never sent a written notification of that change from Wachovia – even though written notification was required.

Securities regulators have fined Wachovia and First Clearing over $1 million for their failure to provide required written notifications to over 800,000 of their customers whose investment objectives were changed over the past 5 years. If you were one of those customers, you might have a claim against Wachovia or First Clearing for your investment losses.

If you lost money in your Wachovia or First Clearing account, give us a call!


 Joseph Stevens & Co.

We are currently representing several clients in cases involving misrepresentation, unsuitability, unauthorized trades, and excessive trading.   If you believe you may have been victimized by Joseph Stevens & Co we can help recover your investment losses"
