Practice Areas
Types of Securities Fraud Matters Handled
Attorney Frison represents clients facing a wide range of securities fraud and related white-collar allegations.
Ponzi Schemes
Fraudulent investment operations where funds from new investors pay earlier investors. Document-heavy, technical, and aggressively prosecuted.
Insider Trading
Alleged use of nonpublic information in healthcare, finance, or technology. Cases center on communications, timing, intent, and access.
Churning
Excessive trading allegations against brokers or advisors. Requires careful review of account activity, intent, authorization, and investment strategy.
Additional Areas of Defense
Securities fraud allegations take many forms. Attorney Frison's defense practice extends across the full spectrum of white-collar financial matters.
Broker Overconcentration
When investments are concentrated too heavily in one company, sector, or asset class, allegations may arise around suitability, disclosure, and professional judgment.
Elder Financial Abuse
Allegations involving elderly investors are especially sensitive. Defense requires strategic attention to documentation, communication history, and client relationships.
Margin Disputes
Disputes over risk, authorization, losses, and disclosure in leveraged securities purchases. These cases involve detailed financial analysis and careful legal review.
Misrepresentation & Omission
Allegations that material facts were withheld or misrepresented to investors, regulators, or counterparties. Defense centers on intent, context, and disclosure obligations.
Defense Strategy
Building a Strong Defense
To secure a conviction, prosecutors must prove specific legal elements — that a person intentionally used a scheme to defraud, made a material misrepresentation, failed to disclose required information, or acted with intent to deceive in connection with a securities transaction.
These cases are rarely as straightforward as prosecutors suggest. Questions of intent, reliance, materiality, disclosure, and documentation can all shape the outcome.
Shannon Frison's Approach
Carefully review all evidence and financial records
Examine the government's full theory of the case
Uncover inconsistencies and challenge unsupported assumptions
Identify the strongest path forward for the client
Key Legal Standard
What the Prosecution Must Prove
A strong defense requires understanding exactly what the government must establish — and where those elements can be challenged.
Each element presents an opportunity for defense. Attorney Frison scrutinizes intent, reliance, materiality, and disclosure to identify weaknesses in the government's case.
