Our L Bond attorneys were the first to take an L Bond case against a brokerage firm to trial and win!

We recently convinced a panel of arbitrators that L Bonds were an unsuitable investment, and that the brokerage failed to properly inform clients of the risks. The panel ordered the brokerage to pay our clients $246,000 plus interest.

In another win, an arbitrator awarded nearly $100,000 to our client, explaining that L Bonds are “not a suitable investment for the [client,] or perhaps anyone,” as reported by Investment News. 

The question is why anyone would recommend this product to a client […] This case is not about the customer, it’s about the product. The arbitrators appear shocked to hear billions of dollars of this stuff is sold.” – Scott Silver

Frequently Asked Questions about a GWG Lawsuit

What did brokerages do wrong? Brokerage firms have a legal responsibility to conduct due diligence on the investment products they offer. Many brokerage firms ignored obvious warning signs that GWG was a bad investment, but sold GWG L Bonds their clients anyway, so they could take home up to an 8% commission on each L Bond sale.  

Do you have to sue your broker? No. We are filing legal claims against the brokerage firms that offered GWG, not the broker themselves. The brokerage firms select the investment product that advisors may offer to their clients. Many brokerages across the nation encouraged the sale of risky and speculative GWG L Bonds – it’s time to hold them accountable.  

GWG L-Bond Investors - Act Now, Not Later

The bankruptcy is unlikely to resolve quickly, and based on other bankruptcy proceedings, it is unlikely that investors will get significant financial recoveries through the bankruptcy process.  

 Some investors have been waiting to file a legal claim until the bankruptcy is further along, but these investors may be at the back of the line when it’s too late some brokerages have also gone bankrupt, and the passage of time can affect investors’ legal rights to file claims.  

Filing a claim NOW will save your spot in line and give you a better chance at a quick and meaningful recovery

GWG L-Bond Lawsuit - How much will it cost?

We pursue cases on behalf of our clients on a “contingency fee basis”. This means that pursing a GWG L bond lawsuit against your brokerage will cost you nothing unless we win, and even then, you pay nothing out-of-pocket (our attorneys’ fees and costs are deducted from your recovery).

There is no financial downside to you if you pursue a legal claim—you only stand to recover additional funds.

L-Bond Recovery - How long will it take?

These legal claims typically take between 9-16 months to resolve. 

 The cases go through a process called arbitration, which is typically much faster than court cases (including bankruptcy cases). 

Filing a GWG L-Bond Claim - Is it difficult?

The reason to hire good lawyers is that they make the process easy for you, and you feel comfortable with your them.

We take our commitment seriously to keep the burden on our clients to the bare minimum.

As in any legal case, you will need to provide us with certain documents and information and communicate with us as the case progresses.

You will not need to sit for a deposition. The process for suing a brokerage typically involves less work and is much quicker than filing a lawsuit in court
