Securities Fraud
In the wake of the 2008 Wall Street meltdown, publicly traded companies are facing increased scrutiny and forced transparency by regulators and the investing public. This is a bandaid, not a cure for the problem. Large institutional investors and individual small investors must be vigilant in protecting their assets and identifying suspected fraud or misstatements. Sarelson Law Firm can help protect you.

South Florida is notorious for Ponzi schemes. Standford Financial’s second largest office occupied several floors of one of Miami’s most prestigious office buildings. A disproportionately high percentage of Madoff’s victims resided in Palm Beach County, Florida and its surrounding areas.
