Sonn Law has represented multiple victims of Hibbard. Jeffrey Sonn stated, “a financial advisor occupies a fiduciary duty to their customers to always act in their best interests. Whenever they abuse that relationship of trust and steal from their customer, they should receive a harsh sentence to send a message to all financial advisors that if you steal, you will serve a long jail sentence, in my opinion.”
