Allegations of Securities Fraud

Securities fraud is taken very seriously by government and law enforcement officials all across the United States. If charged with a crime relating to securities fraud you can be assured that prosecutors and law enforcement will conduct a thorough investigation in an effort to ensure a conviction for securities fraud is handed down. Securities fraud charges may encompass a variety of fraudulent practices, including:

• Churning
• Investment advisor misconduct
• Over-concentration of benefits or investments
• Violation of fiduciary responsibility
• Unsuitable investments
• Misleading or fraudulent sales practices
• Ponzi schemes
• Pump and dump
• Penny stocks
• Using offshore accounts to inflate reported assets
• Stock Embezzlement
• Insider Trading

Challenging Charges of Securities Fraud:

We can evaluate market conditions in order to establish the legal compliance of brokers and advisors with the law and their fiduciary responsibility. Cases involving allegations of misguided advice or unsuitable investments must prove that the accused acted knowingly in a dishonest, fraudulent manner. Our attorneys take the time to carefully reconstruct what happened, the market conditions at the time, and why our client's decision made sense. We expose assumptions on the part of prosecutors and investigators that are not supported by fact or rest on assumptions about the private motives of the accused.

Working with Prosecutors:

If you were involved in a conspiracy to commit securities fraud, the deal you reach with prosecutors could impact the charges against you and the sentence you receive. Remember, prosecutors are talking to other suspects and may be interested in reaching a deal with them. You could find yourself being charged with crimes you had knowledge of but did not commit.
