The best advice when faced with accusations of securities fraud is to contact a lawyer early. By the time the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) contacts you or your clients, it has already been investigating the business for fraudulent practices. Get the counsel of a qualified attorney. Without one you may unwittingly make incriminating statements that can hurt you later on in the investigation.
