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 Lake Charles.
From allegations of fraud involving complex, high-value portfolios to smaller investments that still demand protection, we help guide you through FINRA arbitrations, SEC investigations, and other proceedings to recover losses throughout Lake Charles:
- Shell Beach Drive & Lakefront – Known for its waterfront luxury homes and old-established wealth. Investors here often have sizable portfolios susceptible to sophisticated private placement fraud or unregistered securities offerings.
- Gray Plantation – A planned golf community with professionals and retirees seeking steady returns. This reliance on financial advisors can increase the risk of excessive trading or misrepresentations.
- The Lakes at Morganfield – An emerging upscale area with new developments and potential for growth-oriented investors. Heightened interest in alternative investments may open doors to Ponzi schemes or speculative ventures.
- Country Club Estates – Home to more established families and legacy funds, which may be targets for unauthorized trading or margin abuses due to long-standing relationships with broker-dealers.
What Our Attorneys Can Do to Help You Recover from Investment Fraud
Since 1980, our firm has fought to protect investors in Louisiana. We handle a wide range of cases across industries, including:
- Fraud and misrepresentation
- Stock market losses
- Ponzi schemes
- Margin call liquidations
- Misappropriation of funds
- Private placement fraud
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty
- Churning

- Unauthorized trading
- And many others (click here for all case types our firm handles)
Our firm stays on top of both FINRA rules and Louisiana-specific securities laws. For instance, the Louisiana Securities Law (La. R.S. 51:701, et seq.) strictly prohibits fraudulent activities in the offer and sale of securities, and investors may be entitled to damages for broker misconduct under these provisions. Attorney Robert Pearce will personally assist you at every stage, including pursuing FINRA arbitration or taking your case to court if necessary.
