California Breach of Fiduciary Duty Attorneys

Stockbroker Negligence • Stockbroker Malpractice

Where there is a relationship of trust and reliance between the customer and broker that relationship gives rise to a fiduciary relationship. A fiduciary, like a trustee, is subject to a higher degree of duty that obligates the fiduciary to act in a diligent and faithful manner to further the customer's best interests.

A fiduciary is held to rigorous duties of loyalty and care and must conduct himself or herself with the utmost good faith and integrity. Since investors are encouraged to place their trust and confidence in their stockbroker whom they rely upon for expertise in making the investment decisions, the broker is held to an extremely high standard not to abuse that trust.

If you believe your broker breached his or her fiduciary duty to you, and this breach resulted in losses in your account, contact us for a comprehensive and confidential evaluation with no obligation.
