Rochester Investment Fraud and Securities Lawyer
An investment and securities fraud attorney guides victims of misconduct involving stocks, bonds, annuities, and other investments. Typical cases include unauthorized trading, unsuitable recommendations, Ponzi schemes, and market manipulation. These attorneys work to recover investor losses through FINRA arbitration, negotiated settlements, and strict enforcement of New York’s investor‑protection statutes.
With over 45 years of experience and $175 million recovered for clients, the Rochester investment fraud lawyers at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce, P.A. are ready to help local investors pursue financial recovery.
Whether your matter involves churning, private‑placement fraud, margin abuse, or another form of misconduct, founder and attorney Robert Pearce stands prepared to protect your interests and hold the wrongdoers accountable.
Why Experience Matters in Rochester Securities Fraud Representation
We regularly represent Rochester‑based investors and maintain deep knowledge of New York’s Martin Act (GBL §352‑c) and other state provisions such as GBL §349 against deceptive practices. If you suspect losses due to misconduct, call us 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 Rochester.
From complex, high‑net‑worth portfolios to more modest retirement accounts, we guide clients through FINRA arbitration, state regulatory inquiries, and other recovery avenues throughout Rochester:
- East Avenue Historic District – Long‑established wealth with multigenerational estates; large trust accounts can be targets for excessive‑fee products.
- Pittsford & Pittsford Village – High‑income professionals and retirees holding diversified portfolios; sophisticated scams (e.g., private‑placement pitches) may appear low‑risk.
- Brighton (Twelve Corners) – Academics and healthcare executives frequently invest through discretionary advisory accounts, where churning or over‑concentration can erode capital.
- Cobbs Hill & Park Avenue Corridor – Younger professionals building wealth through tech and biotech equity compensation, vulnerable to margin‑call liquidations in volatile markets.
- Penfield & Fairport – Families balancing college‑savings plans and retirement funds; unsuitable annuities or non‑traded REITs often surface here.
