Investment Losses & Securities Arbitration

Securities fraud is a complex and serious offense that can have devastating financial and legal consequences for individuals and businesses. Securities fraud involves deceptive practices in the stock or commodities markets, often resulting in significant financial loss for investors. These cases can be incredibly complex, requiring a deep understanding of both state and federal securities laws. Our firm has a proven track record of successfully defending clients against various types of securities fraud allegations. Our experienced securities fraud attorneys are dedicated to protecting your rights, navigating the intricacies of securities law, and achieving the best possible outcome for your case.

At The Law Offices of Jonathan W. Evans & Associates, our securities fraud attorneys provide experienced legal counsel to individuals, trusts, estates, and others who have suffered significant financial losses through the illegal activities of brokerage firms, financial advisors and stockbrokers.

Practicing law since 1975, our founding attorney, Mr. Evans, specializes in securities arbitration matters, which is currently 95% of the practice of the firm. He limits his representation to public customers.

We have a proven track record of successfully defending clients against various types of securities fraud allegations, including:

Broker Misrepresentation

Misrepresentation or omission involves providing false information or failing to disclose critical information to investors. This can lead to significant financial losses and legal repercussions. We work diligently to investigate these claims, challenge the evidence, and build a strong defense for our clients.

FINRA

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) oversees brokerage firms and their registered representatives. Violations of FINRA regulations can result in severe penalties. Our attorneys are experienced in handling FINRA-related cases, ensuring your rights are protected throughout the process.

Hedge Fund Losses

Hedge funds can be complex and risky investments. When investors experience significant losses due to mismanagement, fraud, or other misconduct, they may have legal recourse. Our firm specializes in representing clients who have suffered hedge fund losses, working to recover their investments and hold the responsible parties accountable.

Securities Arbitration

Securities arbitration is a common method for resolving disputes between investors and brokers or brokerage firms. Our legal team is well-versed in the arbitration process, providing skilled representation to ensure that your case is presented effectively and that your rights are upheld.

Reverse Convertible

Reverse convertibles are complex financial instruments that can lead to significant losses if not properly managed or disclosed. Our attorneys have extensive experience in handling cases involving reverse convertibles, working to protect investors' interests and recover their losses.

Broker Misconduct

Brokers and financial advisors have a duty to act in their clients' best interests. When they engage in fraudulent activities, such as unauthorized trading, churning, or unsuitable investment recommendations, they can be held liable for securities fraud. We represent clients who have been wronged by broker misconduct, seeking justice and compensation for their losses.

Securities Mediation

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method that can be less adversarial than arbitration or litigation. Our firm offers skilled mediation services to help resolve securities disputes efficiently and effectively, aiming for mutually agreeable solutions that protect our clients' interests.

Stock/Investment Losses

Investors may suffer losses due to a variety of reasons, including fraud, mismanagement, or market manipulation. Our attorneys are dedicated to helping clients recover their investments by investigating the causes of their losses and pursuing appropriate legal action against the responsible parties.
