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 throughout Florida and have represented investors in and near you in Sarasota, Florida.
From fraud in high-net-worth portfolios to more modest accounts that still deserve protection, we can guide you through FINRA arbitration, state regulatory investigations, and other legal processes to help recover losses throughout the region:
- Bird Key & Lido Key – Coveted waterfront communities where global investment opportunities can lead to greater exposure to fraudulent offshore deals.
- Siesta Key & Casey Key – Upscale locales known for luxury real estate and retirement planning, often vulnerable to unauthorized or excessive trading if oversight is lacking.
- Harbor Acres & Oyster Bay – Prestigious enclaves attracting both experienced professionals and retirees, where high-value portfolios may become targets for Ponzi-type schemes.
- Lakewood Ranch & The Landings – Growing areas with a blend of family and active-adult communities, sometimes facing unsuitable investment recommendations or overconcentration in risky products.

Investigations of Sarasota, Florida Brokers by the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce
Robert Wayne Pearce’s firm, through secatty.com, lists several Sarasota, Florida-based brokers under investigation for multiple customer complaints. Jonna Keller (Osaic Wealth) has three customer dispute disclosures—two settled and one pending—involving allegations of misrepresentation, negligence, inadequate supervision, and misleading communications regarding variable annuities and real estate securities including REITs. Brian Mariash (UBS Financial Services, formerly Merrill Lynch) has been the subject of three customer complaints seeking to recover investment losses. Jon Lee, formerly with AAG Capital and Aegis Capital Corp., has been the subject of four customer complaints, two settled in favor of investors, one denied by Citigroup Global Markets, and one still pending in FINRA arbitration, with allegations including missold alternative investments and undisclosed annuity surrender charges. Michael Gibson (Fidelity Brokerage Services) is under investigation over a pending customer dispute alleging unsuitable recommendations tied to activity from 2006–2008, along with separate financial disclosures involving settled debts.

None of the brokers has admitted wrongdoing, and some disputes remain pending or were resolved through settlement rather than a finding of liability
