How a Phoenix Investment Fraud Attorney Can Help You
Scammed in an investment? You are not powerless. The experienced investment‑fraud attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce P.A. stand ready to analyze your losses, explain your legal options under Arizona and FINRA rules, and craft a strategy aimed at getting your money back.
Unsuitable Recommendations
Arizona Revised Statutes § 44‑1991 bars sales that ignore risk tolerance. Our lawyers can compare your profile to holdings and highlight possible FINRA Rule 2111 violations.
Misrepresentation & Omission
Failing to disclose fees violates A.R.S. § 44‑1991(A)(2). We can gather emails, examine prospectus language, and seek rescission or damages when warranted.
Churning & Excessive Trading
FINRA quantitative‑suitability rules and A.R.S. § 44‑1991 discourage commission‑driven trades. We can reconstruct trade blotters and estimate potentially unjust fees.
Margin Abuse & Forced Liquidation
FINRA Rule 4210 sets equity thresholds and obligates brokers to send timely margin calls. Our team can calculate losses arising from premature liquidation.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty & Conflicts of Interest
Private REITs sold for high commissions may breach fiduciary duties under Arizona common law. We can negotiate with firms that appeared to place their interests above yours.
Ponzi, Pyramid & Advance‑Fee Schemes
The Arizona Securities Division prosecutes schemes under A.R.S. § 44‑1841. Our lawyers can trace fund flows, request asset freezes, and coordinate with regulators.
Overconcentration & Diversification Failures
Holding more than 20 % in a single issuer often contradicts reasonable‑basis standards. We can model a diversified benchmark and claim the difference when justified.
Failure to Supervise
FINRA Rule 3110 requires Phoenix branches to monitor red flags. We can target brokerage firms that appeared to lack effective oversight.
Elder Exploitation & Theft
A.R.S. § 46‑456 allows firms to delay disbursements when elder abuse is suspected. We can work with families to recover misappropriated assets.
Other Violations We Handle
- 401(k) rollover abuse
- Mutual‑fund breakpoint fraud
- Excessive mark‑ups in bond trades
- Unregistered crypto offerings
- Phoenix‑based pump‑and‑dump manipulation
Statute of Limitations:
Arizona fraud claims generally expire three years after discovery, and FINRA bars claims six years after the event.
