Akron Investment Fraud and Securities Lawyer
An investment fraud lawyer represents victims of financial misconduct involving stocks, bonds, private placements, and other securities. Typical cases include unauthorized trading, misrepresentation, Ponzi schemes, and excessive churning. These attorneys seek to recover client losses through FINRA arbitration, negotiated settlements, or courtroom litigation while ensuring compliance with securities regulations such as the Ohio Securities Act (Ohio Rev. Code § 1707) and, in suitable situations, Ohio’s Blue Sky Law provisions.
With over 45 years of experience and $175 million recovered for clients, the Akron investment fraud lawyers at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce, P.A. stand ready to assist local investors seeking to recover hard‑earned funds.
Whether your matter involves margin‑call liquidations, unsuitable private placements, or a complex Ponzi operation, founder and attorney Robert Pearce will fight to hold the at‑fault parties accountable and pursue every viable source of recovery.

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 Akron.
From multimillion‑dollar portfolios to more modest nest eggs that still deserve protection, we guide clients through FINRA arbitration, state‑court actions, and other recovery avenues in and around Akron:
- Fairlawn Heights & Montrose‑Ghent – Executive professionals with diversified portfolios; complex products like options strategies and private REITs raise heightened fraud exposure.
- Merriman Valley & Northwest Akron – Physicians, attorneys, and academics who often trust discretionary accounts, making them vulnerable to excessive trading and hidden mark‑ups.
- Bath Township & Revere Schools Area – High‑net‑worth families leveraging inter‑generational wealth plans; unsuitable alternative investments may slip through under the guise of “tax efficiency.”
- Silver Lake & Portage Lakes Estates – Affluent retirees relying on fixed‑income strategies, where yield‑chasing can lead to junk‑bond concentration and elder financial abuse.
