Securities Fraud & Broker-Dealer Cases

Over the years, PCP&B's attorneys have collected more than $5.0 million dollars for investors who have lost money because of the wrongful conduct of stock brokers and brokerage firms. For example, in 2004 we recovered $245,000 for an elderly widow who had part of her life's savings diverted into an unsuitable annuity by a local broker and a large, nationally known insurance company; and, we recovered approximately $210,000 for a pair of retired individuals whose brokers improperly invested their retirement accounts in unsuitable and risky securities.

Bankruptcy / Creditor's Rights

Over the last few years, PCP&B's attorneys have collected more than $3.5 million dollars for various Chapter 7 Estates and creditors. This last year alone, we collected $550,000 for the Chapter 7 Estate of one corporation with fraudulent transfer claims against various insiders; and, we helped another Chapter 7 Estate gain title to several hundred thousand shares of stock which were subsequently liquidated for approximately $330,000. We have also recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in preference claims and millions of dollars in cash and collateral for creditors.

Personal Injury & Property Damage

Across their respective practice areas, the attorneys at PCP&B have collected and/or received verdicts totaling more than $25 million dollars for individuals and companies who have suffered harm by the wrongful conduct of others. Some highlights include: (1) $2.28 million dollar verdict in a wrongful foreclosure case; (2) $2.75 million dollar recovery in a construction accident case; (3) $3.9 million dollar verdict in a business tort case for breach of a joint venture agreement and fiduciary duty; (4) $900,000 settlement in a bankruptcy fraud/civil RICO case; (5) $650,000 dollar settlement in a breach of contract case; and (6) approximately $10 million dollars in several automobile product liability cases.

Telecommunications

The attorneys at PCP&B recognized long ago that the competitive landscape of telecommunications was changing dramatically and that the new competitors would need counsel against the established telecommunications and cable monopolies. In that connection, PCP&B's lawyers have been the first line of defense against the monopolist's anti-competitive actions and negotiations. Several of the local competitors remain competitors because of PCP&B's efforts. PCP&B's clients have collected tens of millions of dollars from the monopolists and their customers due to PCP&B's efforts. The ability to recognize regulatory violations and leverage them into favorable outcomes, gives PCP&B's clients an edge in competing with the established monopolies.

Insurance Coverage

Every business carries insurance or relies on insurance carriers for payment of claims. PCP&B's attorneys have litigated numerous insurance coverage disputes and over the past two years have collected upwards of $1.3 Million dollars for clients in disputes with insurance companies.

In short, whatever the nature of your dispute, the experience and skill of PCP&B's lawyers can help bring your dispute to a favorable resolution.
