Major Cases
Frost recently recovered an award after trial of $1.8 million against LPL Financial Corp. and its registered representative. Frost’s clients were two orphans who, when they reached adulthood, discovered their LPL broker and trustee of their family trust defrauded them out of their entire inheritance and life savings over a 20-year period. Frost also recovered an award after trial of nearly $5.5 million against Hispanic Television Network Inc., et al., in a case arising out of a substantial investment made by Frost’s client, a hedge fund, in the network in reliance on the false representations of the network’s principals. Frost represented a hedge fund in a multimillion-dollar federal court litigation against a national broker-dealer arising out of the fund’s investment in a health care receivables factoring enterprise. The case resolved after more than two years of heavy litigation in a structured settlement worth in excess of $8 million.
