Seasoned Securities Fraud Counsel for Annapolis Investors
We represent investors across Maryland and understand the hurdles unique to the state’s regulatory environment. If you suspect wrongdoing, call for a free 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 Annapolis.
From safeguarding high–net‑worth portfolios to protecting retirement accounts, we guide clients through FINRA arbitration, Maryland Securities Division investigations, and other avenues to recover losses throughout the Annapolis area:
- Wardour & Murray Hill – Historic waterfront enclaves favored by executives and entrepreneurs. Concentrated brokerage relationships can allow hidden churning or unsuitable speculative products to go unnoticed.
- Bay Ridge & Eastport – Upscale boating communities where many investors diversify into maritime‑related equities or private placements, heightening risks of sector‑specific misrepresentation.
- Epping Forest & Annapolis Roads – Gated neighborhoods with significant legacy wealth. Complex estate accounts may mask unauthorized margin use or breach of fiduciary duty.
- West Annapolis & Admiral Heights – Professional hubs with retirement‑focused investors relying on conservative strategies, yet often targeted by unsuitable high‑commission annuity sales.
Maryland law provides additional safeguards: under the Maryland Securities Act (Md. Code Ann., Corps. & Ass’ns § 11‑703), investors may sue for rescission and interest when a broker violates registration or anti‑fraud provisions. Broker‑dealers must also comply with § 11‑302 registration requirements or face civil liability.
