Terms and phrases you should know so you can understand your case and the circumstances of investment fraud.
Investment Fraud Attorney or Lawyer: The individual who you will consult regarding your case or who will represent your case in the legal system. The Hayes Law Firm has a team of highly qualified investment fraud attorneys who have experience representing cases like yours.
Investment Fraud or Stock Fraud: The practice in which investors, who are handling your money and not their own, make faulty decisions based on misinformation, carelessness or corrupt motives.
Securities Fraud: Securities are investments where your money is given as a form of "loan" to someone else. Ideally, the corporation, organization or person receiving your loaned money will pay interest-which means that you get back more than you gave. This is how securities work, and they're an important part of our banking system. Securities fraud occurs when the firm or bank that is taking your money and loaning it out does so irresponsibly. This means that instead of getting more money back, you actually end up getting less.
