Financial Fraud
The Maderal Byrne & Furst partners are uniquely positioned to pursue recoveries in financial and shareholder disputes and financial fraud. During their time as federal prosecutors, Founders Frank R. Maderal and John R. Byrne prosecuted complicated fraud and Ponzi scheme cases and tried dozens of cases to juries. They gained extensive knowledge of the financial regulations and laws pertaining to fraudulent investments. Founder Frank R. Maderal served as a Department of Justice attorney in multiple, successful white-collar prosecutions, involving billions of dollars. And, in private practice, all the Maderal Byrne & Furst partners have represented Ponzi scheme and securities fraud victims. Rachel Furst worked in the commercial litigation department of a corporate law firm for five years and has since represented investors in recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Below are the types of securities and investor fraud cases we handle:
- Broker misconduct
- Ponzi schemes
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Failure to supervise
- Churning:
- Unsuitability and over-concentration
- Unauthorized trading and “switching”
- Margin claims
RECEIVERSHIPS
Maderal Byrne & Furst acts as an independent receiver when called upon by the courts to do so. A receivership is put in place to protect property controlled by a person or company being sued in a court case, and frequently occurs in real estate transactions, business disputes, bankruptcies, or creditor proceedings. We serve as a trusted receiver to take control over disputed property and guide clients through the process and legal proceedings.
