PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS, REPUTATION AND FREEDOM

Securities Fraud

Securities fraud is a white collar crime involving deceptive or fraudulent conduct that induces investors to make stock purchase or sale decisions based on false information. Another type of securities fraud is insider trading, which involves a person using inside information about a company to make decisions about whether to buy or sell stock in that company before the information is made public.

Although the crime of securities fraud itself is relatively straightforward, it can be extremely complex in its execution and incredibly difficult to present plainly to a judge and jury in a court of law. Further, securities cases usually involve the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — an agency with almost unlimited resources that you do not want to face alone.
