Soreide Law Group is conducting an investigation on behalf of investors who have suffered losses due to the actions of securities broker James J. Mariani (CRD#: 2932631, Mineola, New York).

Notably, one or more investors alleged Mariani's recommendation of unsuitable investments and omission of crucial information, particularly in real estate securities.

Because of this, the client allegedly sustained damages related to real estate securities. Therefore, the client requested $1,000,000 in compensation from Aegis Capital Corp. or Mariani.
