Scott Ilgenfritz has been a trial lawyer for 33 years. In 1992, after a number of years practicing commercial litigation, he began representing victims of securities fraud and other broker misconduct. Since 1992, he has learned that while reputable brokers are the norm, it only takes one bad, or even lax, broker to devastate your retirement plans. Having seen the dire financial consequences to retirees and other investors who have fallen prey to broker misconduct, he decided to make protecting individual investors a principal focus of his law practice.
Mr. Ilgenfritz and his firm are committed to recovering investors' losses. The attorneys in the securities fraud practice group have over 70 years combined experience in representing investors in securities arbitration and litigation matters. In addition to this broad experience, they are aided by an intensely committed support staff, utilizing the latest technology, computerized legal research, and well-recognized experts – all to provide you with the finest and most cost-effective representation.
Cases are generally handled on a contingency basis. There is no legal fee unless a recovery is obtained. Clients are responsible for out-of-pocket costs, such as filing fees and expert witness fees. There is no charge for initial client consultations or the initial evaluation of a client’s case.
