Investor Protection

Investors have a right to recover when the brokers and financial professionals they trust swindle them out of their savings through various securities, investment or stock fraud schemes. Without an attorney experienced in the complex rules and regulations of the securities industry and the skill to put that knowledge to work, however, your opportunity to recover your losses may be lost.

Investors must take care to protect themselves and safeguard the possible recovery of their investments by choosing the most experienced law firm to represent them. In the last several years, industry scandals have attracted attorneys who have never tried a securities arbitration case or represented an investor in a securities matter. Investors should investigate an attorney's qualifications and experience at the beginning or risk getting “sold” twice.

Pat Huddleston, head of Huddleston Law Firm, is passionate about protecting investors. He has successfully resolved hundreds of investment, securities, and stock fraud cases, as well as securities arbitrations, against the biggest firms on Wall Street and against smaller regional firms and individual brokers and investment advisors in private actions and in regulatory matters. Using the knowledge and experience acquired from years of FINRA arbitration, litigation, and regulatory practice, Huddleston Law Firm has developed a unique formula for achieving winning results for investors through verdicts, securities arbitration awards, and favorable settlements.

Our experience extends to every area of securities fraud, including litigating and arbitrating the following types of claims: brokerage account misconduct, including fraud and misrepresentation, "churning" or excessive trading of accounts, unsuitable and unauthorized trading, the sale of unregistered securities, Ponzi schemes, variable annuity abuse, a brokerage firm's failure to supervise its brokers, and the improper use of margin to finance account purchases.

Huddleston Law Firm represents only defrauded investors and does not defend brokers or brokerage firms. We work with attorneys throughout the southeastern United States who refer us a large number of cases.
