Experienced Securities Fraud Defense Representation

When you are choosing an attorney to defend you in a securities fraud investigation (also known as stock fraud or investment fraud), it is important to consider his or her skill and level of experience in dealing with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and regulatory bodies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).

As an experienced federal criminal lawyer and former U.S. Marine Corps judge, Patrick McLain possesses an uncommon familiarity with the complex bureaucracy and convoluted regulation common in securities fraud cases, including:

• Insider trading, such as when an executive uses private information about a company to buy or sell stock for personal profit
• Corporate fraud, such as filing misleading financial statements and earnings forecasts in order to affect stock value
• Accounting fraud, such as when a public accounting firm knowingly allows a corporate client to file false or misleading financial statements
• Internet fraud, or the transmission of false or misleading investment information online
• Any fraudulent violation of SEC or NASD regulations
