Recovering losses from financial fraud, Ponzi schemes, securities violations, and related receivership matters.
Black Law P.A.’s attorneys focus their practice in complex fraud and securities litigation, and this Team’s collective experience includes several of multi-million dollar fraud schemes in the State of Florida.
In seeking to resolve a complex securities, business fraud or Ponzi scheme matter on behalf of fiduciaries appointed to unwind large frauds, lenders, investors or other defrauded parties, we generally first focuses on unraveling the fraud, identifying all the perpetrators, and strategically prioritizing the claims, and then aggressively seeks to recover all or as much of the loss as possible. To achieve these goals, our attorneys have worked closely with receivers, forensic accountants, and other professionals in a large number of cases to maximize the value of the remaining assets or collateral and the client’s ultimate recovery.
“The process is always dynamic and requires 360-degree awareness of all aspects of an engagement – that’s part of why we enjoy it so much. We are flexible, and sensitive to the need to regularly calibrate strategies, action plans, and case budgets to maintain the clarity of your goals and objectives (which sometimes themselves change as a matter progresses). Light footprint, sustained onslaught, or anything in between… we are adaptable to the needs of your situation because while size and scope may vary, the core principles and our passion for solving your problems are enduring.”

Victims of investment fraud often have multiple avenues for recovery: claims against the principals, claims against secondarily liable parties (advisors, banks, accountants who facilitated the fraud), claims in any pending receivership or bankruptcy, and in some cases, claims under state and federal securities laws. Recovery depends heavily on remaining assets, timing, and the structure of the fraud.
A federal or state-court receivership often converts individual claims into a unified claims process administered by the receiver. Bankruptcy filings trigger an automatic stay that pauses individual litigation. Both regimes prioritize the orderly distribution of remaining assets, which can change the strategic calculation significantly. The firm regularly works within both frameworks to maximize what recovery is achievable.
Yes — including defense of business and individual clients accused of fraud or aiding-and-abetting claims, where the firm's experience with fraud allegations runs in both directions. Conflicts permitting, the firm takes engagements from whichever side the matter presents.
