Orange County Investment Fraud Lawyer

Investment and Securities Fraud

Have you been arrested for or accused of securities or investment fraud? You may be at risk not only of losing clients and ruining your reputation as an honest professional, but you may also face serious criminal charges as well as action in civil court. It is important to consult an Orange County investment fraud lawyer as soon as possible, to discuss your unique case and options with a professional who can work to protect your future.

A stockbroker or investment firm may be at risk of facing investment or securities fraud allegations in multiple different situations, based upon the grounds that their actions were taken in breach of fiduciary duty. A broker is entrusted with an individual's or company's investments and is therefore responsible for making the right decisions about buying, selling, trading and investing these based off professional knowledge and experience, as well as what is in the best interest of the client. Any violation of this trust or any illegal activity on the part of an investment broker may result in criminal charges and a civil suit as well.

About Investment Fraud and Securities Fraud

At the Law Offices of Fred Thiagarajah, we represent clients throughout Orange County, California who have been accused of any form of securities fraud or investment fraud:

• Churning - unnecessary selling or purchasing of securities in order to gain excess commission on these.
• Unsuitable trades or investments - making investments or trades that are not suitable for a client in some way, such as investments that are too risky.
• Creating illegal/fraudulent accounts or transferring a client's money into one's own account
• Overconcentration - placing a majority of a client's funds into one investment, rather than spreading the investment over different options (thus placing the client at risk of losing everything).
• Unauthorized trading - making trades without the client's permission, when this permission should have been granted prior to making any trades.
