Equity Mutual Fund Investment Fraud – Garcia vs. Merrill Lynch

In 2003, responsible investors Porfirio and Stella Garcia were ready to regain losses experienced as a result of the mismanagement of their equity mutual fund by Merrill Lynch.

Merrill Lynch had breached fiduciary laws, participated in negligence, failure to supervise, breach of contract, violations of SRO Rules, unsafe transactions and overconcentration. The Garcias experienced significant losses from the investment with the firm and chose to seek damages for the loss of their hard earned money.

With the help of the expert team of investment fraud lawyers at The Hayes Law Firm, Garcia was able to take action and reclaim some of the losses that had resulted from investment fraud, which would have been impossible without taking legal action. See case details (garcia.pdf).

As a result of the consultation that Garcia received from The Hayes Law Firm, he was able to regain $37,093 of his mismanaged funds.

Investment fraud costs many responsible, hard working people real money every year. If you’re one of those people it’s not too late to get your money back!
