Criminal Defense Overview

Texas Securities Fraud Criminal Defense Attorney

Also known as stock fraud or investment fraud, securities fraud is the violation of the rules of investing and trading to cheat or take advantage of public investors. A variety of deceptive practices may be involved, but all result in the loss of money by the initial investor. Charges of securities fraud are extremely serious, as severe federal penalties may be leveled against you upon conviction.

At the Houston, Texas, office of DeGuerin & Dickson, we represent individuals who have been charged with securities fraud and other securities crimes. From lower-end investors to a stockbroker who gives too much sales pitch or does not disclose all of the risks of an investment, we represent all individuals who are charged with violations of federal securities laws.

Securities fraud cases can increase in size and severity with every piece of evidence that is uncovered. Attorney Dick DeGuerin leads our firm in providing high-quality securities representation. We are extensively equipped to handle all sizes and types of securities cases and can partner with other firms whenever necessary.
