Lax & Neville Reaches $1.4 Million Settlement on Behalf of Clients Who Suffered Sales Practice Abuse

On August 15, 2017, Lax & Neville reached a settlement for $1.4 million with a broker-dealer responsible for overseeing a Financial Advisor who egregiously mismanaged, churned, and unjustly enriched himself at the expense of clients. The Financial Advisor placed Claimants in unsuitable, highly risky, sovereign debt instruments. The settlement amount Lax & Neville negotiated covered all the out-of-pocket losses the clients incurred including commissions, and was negotiated on behalf of a complicated trust structure with multiple parties and entities.

Lax & Neville has extensive experience representing individual investors, trusts, and estates against investment banks and broker-dealers who employ bad acting financial advisors that engage in sales practice abuse, fraud, negligence, and unjust enrichment. If you are a victim of securities fraud, please contact Barry R. Lax or Sandra P. Lahens, Esq., at (212)-696-1999.

The Lax & Neville team were total professionals in handling our case. They've clearly had quite a bit of experience handling complex legal matters in many jurisdictions and courts. I was impressed with their professionalism coupled with persistence in arguing a very complete and well-structured case. I highly recommend their services. Anonymous

This is an official " thank you" for all your hard work. It really was a pleasure to have you represent me, and I enjoyed seeing you, Rush and Sandra in action. I think Lax and Neville epitomizes the phrase "quality vs quantity". I think I told you before that I spent a lot of time researching firms; in this case things worked out, I picked the best firm. I hope I never need your services in the future, but if I do I know I found the best attorneys for these types of legal issues. Anonymous

What transpired at the [redacted] was nothing less than a truly masterful and exceptional experience regarding your intelligence, professionalism, preparedness for my case, teamwork and erudite knowledge pertaining to Securities Law, FINRA and the SEC.
