    What His Clients Say

    “As the former CEO of a public company, I have encountered and worked with many lawyers over the years. Robert Kantas is the best of the best. He is the most effective combination of profound intelligence, tireless work ethic, compulsive attention to detail and creative thinking that I have ever found. Kantas lived and breathed my case and achieved results to match. I am forever grateful to him and would highly recommend his outstanding counsel."

    - S.L., Colorado

    “Mr. Kantas was the lead attorney in a FINRA arbitration case I was involved with against a large Wall Street brokerage firm. I did not know what to expect at the beginning of the case, but it soon became clear that I had the best legal representative I could hope for.   He was professional, well spoken,  and clearly had prepared extensively well. He brought forth a well organized team of expert witnesses, clear concise written and oral arguments that won our case. He and the team were honest with expectations and were transparent as to strategy and options, which are not easy when dealing with the minutiae of finance law. He had my back every step of the way. I very much appreciated having the best legal fighter in the courtroom, on my side.”

    Are You a Victim of Securities Fraud?

    Every case is different, and the various violations of complex securities laws may not be readily apparent to the average investor. Indeed, many brokers and brokerage firms go to great lengths to hide their wrongdoing, or when confronted, simply blame the losses on “the market”. When you contact Kantas & Associates, your investment accounts and potential claims will be thoroughly analyzed. Rest assured that at Kantas & Associates, we have the experience to see through the mountains of paper to spot the fraud.
    Here are some common claims

    Churning (Excessive Trading)

    “My broker was buying and selling stocks in my account all the time.” “My mailbox (email box) was always full of these little slips of paper (trade confirmations).” “Often I was not even aware of all the trading going on in my account.” “My broker said he had a “trading strategy” and that is why there was so much trading in my account.

    Misrepresentations and Omissions

    “My broker told me there was no way I could lose money on this investment.” “My broker told me this was a “low risk” investment.” “My broker failed to tell me about any of the risks of this investment.” “My broker told me that my returns were guaranteed.”

    Unsuitable Investments

    “My stockbroker put me into investments that were just too risky for me.” “I told my broker that I did not want a lot of risk in my portfolio.” “My stockbroker knew that I was retired and that I could not afford to take a lot of risk.”

    Margin Account Violations

    “My broker did not explain that I could lose so much money so quickly by trading on margin.” “My brokerage firm liquidated my account without my knowledge or consent due to something called a margin call.” “My brokerage firm sold all of my securities and now says I owe them money!”

    Unauthorized Trading

    “My stockbroker was buying and selling securities in my account without my knowledge or consent.”

    Selling Away

    “My stockbroker told me to make my check (or wire) payable to him or XYZ company, and not to my brokerage firm.”
