Seasoned Securities-Fraud Support for Merced Investors
We represent Merced-area investors and have deep familiarity with California’s Corporate Securities Law of 1968 and provisions such as Corporations Code §25401 (fraudulent sales) and §25400 (market manipulation). If you believe your broker violated these or other statutes, call for a no-cost consultation.
Searching for an investment fraud or securities fraud attorney “near me” might not always get you the best attorney for your case. That said, we represent clients nationwide and have represented investors near you in Merced and the greater San Jose area.
From fraud in high-net-worth portfolios to modest retirement accounts that still deserve protection, we can guide you through FINRA arbitration, Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) complaints, and other recovery avenues throughout Merced:
- North Merced (Bellevue Ranch & Lake Road Corridor) – Rapid residential growth near UC Merced draws professors, medical professionals, and tech entrepreneurs whose concentrated holdings can be vulnerable to unsuitable private placements.
- Mansionette Estates & El Capitan Estates – Custom homes and higher household incomes often come with complex estate-planning vehicles; leveraged products here may trigger California “suitability” violations under Cal. Corp. Code §260.237.
- Fahrens Park & Peterson – Established neighborhoods with rising property values attract retirees seeking stable income; promises of “high-yield, low-risk” notes can mask Ponzi-style fraud.
- Silverado & Bahama Drive Area – Family-oriented communities relying on long-term advisory relationships where excessive trading or hidden commissions may erode education and college-savings plans.
