Prevent Brokerage Misconduct with How to Keep From Going Broke with a Broker: More About the Book

Super Lawyers and former industry insider Richard A. Lewins informs, educates and enlightens those investors who place (or consider placing) their hard-earned, saved or inherited dollars — along with their complete trust — in the decisions made by a broker, brokerage firm, or other financial “expert.” He has seen firsthand, from all sides of the table, the financial devastation that can occur when people turn over their assets to others to manage without understanding the nature of the relationship, the importance of the documents and the “red flags” to watch for that could signal trouble.
