Rob Bleecher works in the greater Harrisburg area of Central Pennsylvania and represents customer-investors against financial professionals anywhere in the United States. A financial professional may be a stockbroker (and the company they work for), or a registered investment advisor, or other professional who charges a fee or obtains a commission for selling or recommending an investment to a customer. Mr. Bleecher  represents customer-investors against these persons and businesses, using Securities Arbitration or Securities Litigation, where the customer-investors have been harmed by the conduct of the financial professionals. That harm may take the form of stock fraud, unsuitable investments, "churning" an account, negligence, and other improper and/or illegal conduct. Often the customer-investor does not even know that the financial professional has committed stock fraud or other investment fraud. This may happen because 1) the stockbroker or other financial professional has concealed the stock fraud or other improper conduct, or 2) due to the trust that the customer-investor has for the financial professional, or 3) the lack of financial sophistication of the customer, or all of the above. A consultation with us is often the best way to learn if you have a legitimate claim. Securities Arbitration or Securities Litigation is often the best way to recover your money. The consultation with us is without charge.

Losing money alone is often not enough to justify bringing a claim against a financial professional -- there must be a violation of a law, rule, or regulation, or breach of a duty owed to you. But most customer-investors are not securities attorneys and do not know when they have been the victim of stock fraud or other investment fraud. There are many laws that the customer-investor may not know about that may prohibit the actions and the conduct of the financial professional. Listed below are examples of the types of investments a customer may have and the types of stock fraud or other investment fraud that may occur with those investments:

Types of Investments

• Bonds
• Annuities
