Danny Chancellor and Brent Chancellor Arbitration

According to a lawsuit filed in July, 2021 by Peiffer Wolf,

“[Client] needed his investments to be liquidable, and [Danny and Brent Chancellor] clearly failed to conduct adequate due diligence before recommending investments to Claimant, including ARC Hospitality Trust, ARC Realty Finance Trust, Northstar Healthcare Income REIT, Northstar Realty Finance Corp, and Steadfast Income REIT. Additionally, Respondents’ recommendations to Claimant led to an over concentration of REITs in his accounts. As a result, Claimant has not reaped the benefits of investing during what has been a historic bull market, and has suffered significant losses.

Placing Claimant’s portfolio in REITs and other alternative investment products was clearly dangerous to the wellbeing of his investment. At Respondents’ recommendations, over 25% of Claimant’s entire portfolio was invested in REITs and alternative investment, which are illiquid and unsuitable…”

Yes. Please call us or use our contact form to request a Free Case Evaluation. We have a national team of attorneys and staff who look forward to speaking with you.

Typically, we represent clients on contingency fee agreements. If we take your case under a contingency fee arrangement, you won’t owe our firm any legal fees unless we are able to recover money for you.

Our contingency fee agreements are usually based on a percentage of the amount we recover for our clients. The contingency fee amount is determined by the type of case, our estimate of how long it will take to resolve your case, and our estimate of the litigation costs we will advance in your case. Each engagement agreement includes the details of the fee arrangement. Questions about our fee agreements are welcomed and encouraged.

In most litigation matters, it is extremely difficult – practically impossible – to predict how long it will take to resolve a particular case. Every case is different, and we will do our best to provide you with an estimate based on your case and our experience with similar cases. Moreover, we will do our best to keep you updated and manage expectations along the way.
