Update Your Profile
You should be entitled to bring various types of action for theft, conversion, embezzlement, etc. Whether you will be able to collect anything from this individual once you get a judgment may be questionable. I suggest you discuss this with a civil litigator as soon as possible. You may also be able to recover from any E & O insurance policy the broker had and possibly from any recovery fund that may be available through the state of Florida.
