Litigation Victory - Financial Advisor Fraud/Misrepresentation

Ms. Miller represented me and four other plaintiffs in litigation against a global financial conglomerate. The case revolved around gross misrepresentation and outright fraud in the sale of complex life insurance policies. Long story short, the agents who sold us the policies, FINRA licensed investme...nt advisers, lied orally and in writing about virtually every salient aspect of the policy. As the lies unraveled, it became clear the policies were entirely unsuitable for each of us. Of course the agents had also lied about the liquidity provisions, so are money was essentially held hostage when we requested to terminate the policies. After pursuing all direct avenues to amicably resolve the conflict, it became clear we were dealing with a structurally corrupt organization that would not voluntarily do the right thing. Fortunately I was referred to Ms. Miller’s firm, Anderson Kill & Olick. After thoroughly reviewing the merits of our case, Ms. Miller and her colleagues agreed to represent us on contingency. Ms. Miller took the lead in interviewing each plaintiff and sorting through our documentation in order to compile a withering complaint for NY State Supreme Court. In the complaint, Ms. Miller crafted a highly compelling story while succinctly incorporating all salient facts. Once settlement negotiations commenced, Ms. Miller and her colleagues resolved not to settle unless we reached a predetermined settlement figure. Ms. Miller and colleagues fought through multiple rounds of negotiation, eventually achieving a six-figure settlement. We recouped 100% of our investments after the contingency fees. Throughout the process, Ms. Miller kept all five of us informed and promptly answered all questions. She explained the process, timeline, and all legal terminology with which we were unfamiliar. I could not be happier with Ms. Miller and her colleagues and would recommend their services to anyone involved in contentious litigation. Anderson Kill & Olick has a strong reputation for going the distance if an acceptable settlement cannot be reached. This credible threat of a prolonged court battle and punitive damages provides a huge advantage in settlement negotiations.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
