Investment Fraud and Insider Trading Defense
You don't have to be a Bernie Madoff to attract the interest of investigators from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The law enforcement arm of the SEC is always looking for patterns of insider trading and fraudulent investment schemes. If you suspect you are the target of a securities fraud investigation, you need legal counsel immediately.
Don't say one word without the advice of an attorney.
The criminal defense lawyers of The Wool Law Group have extensive experience in white collar criminal defense, including criminal probes in the financial services industry. If you have been indicted or questioned in relation to securities fraud, our attorneys are always on call.

Set the Record Straight or Mitigate the Penalties
A securities fraud conviction can be punished by a stiff prison sentence and major fines, and formal charges alone can be career-ending and financially devastating. We have represented stock brokers, financial advisors, brokerage managers, fund managers and corporate executives accused of manipulating the market or defrauding investors:
- Insider trading
- Bribes and kickbacks
- Ponzi schemes and investment scams
- Misrepresentation of stocks or financial products
- Fee churning and other broker fraud
Perhaps you are accused of leaking sensitive information. Perhaps you passed along information or bought or dumped stocks based on a tip from a well-placed source. Perhaps investigators have ascribed criminal intent to legitimate trading practices or "insider" information already in the public domain.
Long Island attorney N. Richard Wool is highly experienced in white collar criminal defense, including investment fraud. He will intervene promptly with SEC investigators to avert formal charges if possible, or to negotiate a resolution that does not send you to prison or ruin you professionally and financially. He will do everything possible to challenge the allegations and minimize the consequences.
In addition to criminal fraud charges, we can defend clients in any civil actions — brought by investors or the government — for fraud or breach of fiduciary duty.
