Investment Fraud

Texas Company Misrepresents Financial Statements Lawyer

Experienced Representation in Investment Fraud Litigation

Attorney John McDuff Serves Austin and Central Texas

Investment fraud cases typically involve misrepresentations that were made by a company in an effort to obtain capital from a prospective investor. The company may have misrepresented matters such as the following:

• How much money the company was making
• The amount of assets owned by the company
• The status of other investors’ financial stability
• Other key factors that help investors decide where to invest

Negative Consequences of Investment Fraud

The consequences of misrepresentation on financial statements involving employees, customers, suppliers, business plans and such can be devastating to investors who seek to make wise choices based on solid facts. When the investor would have made different choices with “real” facts as the basis for making decisions, and the investment yielded a negative result, the consequences can be substantial.

Investors who were duped through fraudulent misrepresentations as well as businesses wrongfully accused of investment fraud are invited to contact the law offices of John McDuff, Attorney at Law, at 512.457.1177.
