How an Oregon Investment Fraud Attorney Can Help You
If you have experienced investment losses due to broker or advisor misconduct, the experienced Oregon investment fraud attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce, P.A. can potentially help you recover your losses and hold wrongdoers accountable.
Recovering Losses from Unsuitable Investments
Brokers who recommend investments not suitable for your investment goals, age, or risk tolerance violate Oregon Securities Law (ORS Chapter 59) and FINRA Rule 2111. Our investment fraud attorneys can analyze the suitability of your investments and help you file a FINRA arbitration claim against your broker.
Addressing Excessive Trading (Churning)
Excessive trading by brokers generates commissions at your expense and violates both Oregon securities regulations and FINRA rules. Attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce, P.A. can investigate excessive trading activity and advocate for compensation on your behalf.
Representation for Misrepresentation and Omission
Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information about investments breaches Oregon Securities Law (ORS Chapter 59.135) and SEC Rule 10b-5. Our skilled securities fraud lawyers can help identify fraudulent misrepresentations and pursue recovery for your financial losses.
Holding Brokers Accountable for Unauthorized Trading
Brokers executing trades without client approval violate Oregon regulations and FINRA Rule 3260. Our investment fraud attorneys can analyze your brokerage records, identify unauthorized transactions, and help seek restitution.
Protecting Investors from Breaches of Fiduciary Duty
Brokers and advisors owe fiduciary duties to their clients under Oregon law and must prioritize investors’ interests. Violations of this duty can lead to substantial financial losses, and our lawyers can evaluate your broker’s conduct and pursue claims through FINRA arbitration.
Recovering Funds Lost in Ponzi and Pyramid Schemes
Ponzi and pyramid schemes promise high returns by using new investors’ money to pay earlier investors, violating Oregon Securities Law (ORS 59.135). Attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce, P.A. can investigate these fraudulent schemes and aggressively seek to recover your lost funds.
Pursuing Claims for Theft or Misappropriation of Funds
Theft or misappropriation of client funds is both criminal and a violation of securities regulations. Our attorneys can work alongside Oregon law enforcement and regulatory agencies to recover your stolen assets and hold brokers accountable.
Legal Representation for Broker and Firm Negligence
Brokers and brokerage firms must adhere to professional standards of care. Negligence can include failing to supervise brokers adequately (FINRA Rule 3110) and ignoring investor instructions. Our Oregon securities lawyers can determine negligence and represent your interests in arbitration.
Protection Against Overconcentration and Lack of Diversification
Overconcentration in a single asset or market sector significantly increases investment risk, potentially violating fiduciary obligations under Oregon law. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce, P.A. can evaluate your portfolio and advocate for appropriate recovery.
Mutual Fund and Private Placement Fraud
Misleading sales tactics involving mutual funds and private placements violate Oregon securities disclosure requirements. Our attorneys can thoroughly analyze these complex investment products and assist in recovering losses resulting from deceptive practices.
Additional Investment Fraud Areas We Handle Include:
- Cryptocurrency Fraud
- Margin Abuse
- Conflicts of Interest
- Microcap Stock Fraud
- Unauthorized Securities Sales (“Selling Away”)
Statute of Limitations for Oregon Securities Fraud Claims
In Oregon, securities fraud claims must typically be filed within two years of discovering the fraud and no later than three years after the date the securities were sold (ORS 59.115(6)). Federally, claims must be filed within five years from the violation or two years from discovery.
What Can an Investment and Securities Fraud Lawyer Do for Investors?
