At The Law Offices of Jonathan W. Evans & Associates, we provide experienced legal counsel to individuals, trusts, estates, and others who have suffered significant financial losses through the illegal activities of brokerage firms, financial advisors and stockbrokers. Practicing law since 1975, our founding attorney, Mr. Evans, specializes in securities arbitration matters, which is currently 95% of the practice of the firm. He limits his representation to public customers.
Our legal team has litigated hundreds of securities arbitration claims, and has tried more than 50 cases to a conclusion at the NASD. Our firm has represented public individuals in mediation and with many other securities fraud matters. Mr. Evans has proudly represented hundreds of other public investors in their disputes, many of which have resulted in favorable settlements. Our objective is to assist our clients to take legal action to recover the maximum possible of their losses, based upon the details of the case and what the law will allow.
Highly Knowledgeable in Security Issues
Our firm offers the highest quality, professional legal representation in securities arbitration,
securities mediation and
securities litigation. With extensive experience in
recognizing investment losses and identifying illegal activities through an in-depth analysis of the
P&L and other financial data, we can quickly ascertain if your losses are the result of
misconduct,
churning,
unauthorized trading, or if your investment was placed in
unsuitable securities, as well as cases of
overconcentration,
selling away, or
fraud. If you lost significant value due to
misrepresentation/omission,
theft/conversion, or
Ponzi schemes, you will require legal representation with extensive knowledge and experience to assist you to take action and protect your interests. With over 20 years of experience in
common claims, matters involving
suitability,
negligence,
breach of fiduciary duty, and
state securities laws, you can have confidence that your interests will be carefully protected.
Persistent and Passionate Legal Assistance
We offer our services in cases of significant losses in annuities,
reverse convertibles,
REITs,
TICs,
principal protected notes,
stocks,
bonds,
mutual funds and
UITs. Whether your portfolio losses are related to
structured products,
promissory notes,
private placements,
limited partnerships, or
options, we have the experience and depth of experience necessary to seek justice and recovery of losses through arbitration or in court. One of the most common defenses asserted by the securities industry is that damages are limited to Net-Out-of-Pocket losses. This
NOP Myth can be defeated only by careful claims analysis, pleading specific causes of actions, and presenting detailed damages models. Our lengthy experience in securities arbitration provides clients with opportunities to defeat the NOP Myth and recover a proper measure of damages."
These are complex issues that are usually heavily contested by corporate securities law defense attorneys representing the investment firm, brokerage, financial advisor or broker. It is necessary that you have an equally experienced California securities attorney with a record of success in arbitration, mediation, and at trial to represent you and protect your interests. We urge you to contact our firm to discuss your situation, and we can advise you as to the best course of legal action, based upon the circumstances of your case and the financial losses involved.
