Strategic Guidance from a Highly Experienced Securities Fraud Law Firm

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 Portland.
From complex fraud schemes in wealthy portfolios to issues affecting smaller investments that deserve equal protection, we’re prepared to represent you in arbitration, settlement negotiations, or other potential recovery methods in and around the Portland region. Notable affluent areas include:
- Dunthorpe – Highly exclusive homes and estates with large-scale investment accounts. These high-value portfolios can attract sophisticated scams, including private placement or Ponzi-style activities.
- West Hills – Known for high-income residents and historically strong property values, where investors often rely on personalized asset management and can be vulnerable to undisclosed fees or excessive trading.
- Laurelhurst – A neighborhood featuring classic homes and established wealth, with a mix of traditional investment strategies that sometimes face risks from unauthorized account activities.
- Lake Oswego – While technically outside Portland city limits, it’s a prime area for upscale investments. Cross-town brokerage relationships can lead to disputes if advisors fail to adhere to Oregon’s antifraud statutes (like ORS 59.115).
