If you suffered losses with Lorraine Gallette or Ray Gallette at Gallette Financial and/or Coastal Equities, contact KlaymanToskes at 888-997-9956 or fill out a short contact form for a free and confidential consultation.

The firm has helped recover over $600 million (exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs) for investors, and can help you determine if your loss is due to financial advisor misconduct, unsuitable investment advice, and/or other securities violations.

KlaymanToskes Pursues $100,000 to $500,000 Recovery for Ray Gallette Customer:

KlaymanToskes is currently representing two retired investors in a FINRA arbitration case (FINRA Case No. 25-01423) seeking between $100,000 and $500,000 in damages for unsuitable recommendations made by Ray Gallette (CRD# 3041923) and Realta Equities (formerly known as Coastal Equities).

According to the claim, the investors sought conservative, fixed income investments to support their financial needs during retirement. Instead, Coastal Equities’ financial advisor, Ray Gallette, recommended Alternative Investments. The investments included GWG L Bonds, GPB Holdings, US Energy, ATEL8, EquiTrust, and SmartStop REIT.

Alternative Investments are illiquid and speculative in nature, meaning that they are not suitable for investors seeking low-risk, conservative investments. In April 2022, GWG Holdings, Inc. filed for bankruptcy, suspending their monthly dividends and leaving investors without access to their principal.

With the GWG Holdings’ bankruptcy plan offering only a 3% recovery to L bondholders, affected investors may pursue an additional potential recovery through a FINRA arbitration claim. It is critical that GWG L Bond investors explore all of their legal options outside of the bankruptcy.

If your financial advisor recommended GWG L Bonds or any other Alternative Investment listed above, KlaymanToskes strongly encourages you to contact our office for a free and confidential account review. Call our office today at (888) 997-9956 to speak with an attorney.

Signs Investors Should Look Out For About Their Brokerage Accounts:

As an investor, there are a few signs that you should look out for if you believe you may have a claim against broker Lorraine Gallette or broker Ray Gallette. These signs could potentially indicate negligence, misconduct, or investment fraud. Investors are encouraged to contact our firm immediately if you have experienced any of the following: 

  • You have substantial losses in your investment accounts
  • You received a call, email, or other communication from your broker’s supervisor or manager regarding your portfolio
  • Your broker misrepresented investment opportunities, or failed to disclose details about investments
  • You notice unauthorized transactions in your investment accounts
  • Your broker is not returning your calls or emails
  • You filed a complaint with your brokerage firm that has not been resolved
  • You see a mistake on your statement, or receive a fraudulent statement

Some investors have close relationships with their brokers due to the time and trust built over the course of their investment relationship. However, it is crucial to remember that financial decisions should be based on careful analysis and due diligence rather than solely relying on personal relationships.

Engaging the services of an experienced securities attorney to evaluate your specific circumstances is strongly advised. At KlaymanToskes, our team of experienced securities attorneys has a deep understanding of this complex area of law, allowing us to provide invaluable insight and tailored guidance that directly addresses your individual needs.
