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 Vero Beach, Florida.
From fraud in high-net-worth portfolios to more modest investments that still deserve protection, we can guide you through FINRA arbitration and other legal avenues to help recover losses throughout the region:
- John’s Island & Windsor – Exclusive enclaves known for significant seasonal or retirement portfolios. High-value assets can become targets for sophisticated schemes like excessive trading.
- The Moorings & Indian River Shores – Waterfront communities often home to affluent families and retirees. In these settings, private placement fraud or Ponzi schemes may go unnoticed without diligent review.
- Riomar & Ocean Drive – Historic and oceanfront areas featuring legacy wealth and multiple investment vehicles. Complex cross-generational accounts can face unauthorized trading risks.
- Grand Harbor & Orchid Island – Golf and yachting communities where residents often rely on financial advisors for stable returns, creating potential exposure to misrepresentation or selling away.
Investigations of Vero Beach, Florida Brokers by the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce

James Claude Britt (CRD# 4523267), a Morgan Stanley broker and financial advisor working out of the firm’s Vero Beach branch since 2010, has two customer disputes on his FINRA BrokerCheck record, one pending and one settled through FINRA arbitration, involving allegations of unsuitable and misrepresented investment strategies in structured products and options. The earlier case, filed in 2011, sought $500,000 in damages and settled in 2013 for $150,000, while the more recent pending dispute involves claims that an options trading strategy used over several years was unsuitable and misrepresented. Russell Blum (CRD #1276754), registered with International Assets Advisory, LLC in Vero Beach, has been the subject of three customer complaints, one settled in investors’ favor and one currently pending against SunTrust Investment Services. Allegations against Blum include over-concentrating client portfolios in unsuitable investments, particularly oil and gas stocks and low-priced speculative securities that were allegedly misrepresented, as well as poor investment guidance that caused account losses. Blum previously worked at SunTrust Investment Services, SunTrust Advisory Services, and Wells Fargo Clearing Services before his current registration.
