Nico Banks Available Now

I first worked for Banks Law Office while I was in high school in 2013. I did not know much about the law back then, but I did what I could to help individual victims of broker misconduct take on corporate perpetrators. It was righteous work, and I loved it immediately. I left Banks Law Office to attend Claremont McKenna College, where I graduated in the top 15 percent of my class. I then also graduated from Cornell Law School in the top 15 percent of my class. After finishing school, I worked as an associate attorney in the antitrust practice group of Cleary Gottlieb Steen and Hamilton, which is widely considered the top antitrust practice group in the country. I missed representing investors, so I next worked as an attorney at a small investor-representation law firm called the Kurta Law Firm. In September of 2023, I returned to Banks Law Office, where I continue to represent individual investors by suing brokerage firms that recommended failed investments to them. Many of my clients lost money in alternative investments such as non-traded real estate investment trusts, oil-and-gas partnerships, structured products, and private placements, which are often unsuitable investments. People who have lost money in unsuitable investments can often sue their brokerage firms because those firms are responsible for conducting due diligence on non-traded investments before approving them for sale to individual investors. Therefore, if a brokerage firm misses warning signs that an investment is likely to fail, it may be liable to investors.
