Experienced Attorneys For Defense Against Accounting Fraud Allegations

Irregularities in accounting practices are often at the heart of allegations of securities fraud. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the New York Attorney General frequently investigate such matters as they relate to publicly traded companies.

If your firm is facing allegations of fraudulently inflated revenue, or if you have received a FINRA Rule 8210 request or a Wells Notice, it is crucial that you have an experienced accounting defense attorney on your side as soon as possible. The law firm of Ford O’Brien Landy LLP has extensive experience in these matters, and our attorneys stand ready to assist clients in New York and nationwide.
