Attorney Robert Wayne Pearce and his team handle claims involving private-placement fraud, insider trading, breach of fiduciary duty, and other complex disputes. We typically work on a contingency fee basis but also offer hourly and alternative arrangements when needed.

Trusted Support From a Seasoned Securities Fraud Law Firm
We represent Westminster-based investors and have extensive knowledge of Maryland regulations, including the Maryland Securities Act (Md. Code Ann., Corps. & Ass’ns § 11-101 et seq.) and related COMAR provisions governing broker-dealers. If you suspect misconduct, call us 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 Westminster and the greater Frederick area.
From fraud targeting high-net-worth portfolios to misconduct affecting modest retirement accounts, we guide clients through FINRA arbitration, SEC investigations, and other recovery avenues throughout Westminster:
- Wakefield Valley & Avondale Ridge – Executive homes along the former golf-course corridor attract retirees and business owners with sizable brokerage accounts, making them vulnerable to unsuitable annuity “switches.”
- Meadow Creek Estates & Stonegate – High-earning professionals commuting to the Baltimore–Washington corridor often use discretionary accounts where excessive trading (churning) can go unnoticed.
- Bolton Hill & Fenby Farm – Upscale subdivisions with growing families may rely on 529 college plans and managed portfolios that are susceptible to misrepresentation of risk.
- Historic Downtown Westminster & Uniontown Road Corridor – Revitalized mixed-use properties often involve private real-estate offerings, where inadequate disclosures can lead to private-placement fraud.
A Tailored Plan for Your Investment Fraud Claim
Every fraud scenario is unique. We investigate the facts, apply Maryland’s investor-protection statutes, and craft a strategy aimed at the strongest possible outcome.
