Auction Rate Securities Attorney Diane Nygaard | Preferred Stock Fraud Litigation Lawyer
Over the past years, investors have lost billions of dollars after the sale of auction rate securities froze, and funds were not paid out. Diane A. Nygaard is a skilled and aggressive auction rate securities lawyer who will go to bat for you, working tirelessly to secure the justice you deserve.
In 2008, the ARS market largely collapsed; Wall Street institutions including Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and UBS AG marketed these securities as being a safe investment, although it was later found otherwise and investors were misled. If you have lost a substantial portion of your assets after investing in these bonds, auction rate securities attorneys are skilled and specialize in this type of fraud litigation.
What can an auction rate securities attorney do for you? The primary goal of an ARS lawyer is to hold fraudulent brokers accountable, and to recover the funds you have lost. As one of the top auction rate securities lawyers in the nation, Diane A. Nygaard is a seasoned professional who has worked to help clients obtain justice for years; she will consult with you to discuss your concerns and possible options, analyze your investments and provide skilled, effective representation when it is appropriate. Representing over 100 individuals, businesses and trust/pension accounts that were sold illiquid ARS, Nygaard has been successful in recovering over $100,000,000 of par value for her clients.
ARS are typically marketed by brokerage firms which claim that these debt instruments are a sound alternative to money market funds. Sold via a process known as a Dutch auction, the bidding begins high unlike a normal auction. The purpose is to get a purchaser to buy at the offered price; these securities are issued by tax-exempt institutions, government municipalities and closed-end mutual funds, then placed out for bid through financial institutions and brokerages. Unfortunately, all too many investors have learned that auction rate securities are not a safe investment, and have now lost a portion of their assets. The auction rate securities lawyer you choose must be skilled in the intricacies of Wall Street finance in order to protect your rights and provide effective legal representation.
You may feel that you are in "financial limbo" so to speak; your funds may be frozen in what you assumed was a secure cash investment, particularly if your brokerage firm assured you it was a sound investment. Auction rate securities are not illegal, and auction rate securities attorneys know that those who were encouraged to invest by their financial firms often did not understand the risks involved. If you have lost money through ARS after being made to believe that this was a safe investment and smart alternative to the liquid money market, contact auction rate securities attorney Diane A. Nygaard today.
