FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 15, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Law Firm of David R. Chase, P.A. (the "Firm"), headed by former Securities and Exchange Commission Prosecutor and Special Assistant United States Attorney, David R. Chase, announces that it is investigating claims of Bernard Madoff investors who invested through a brokerage firm, investment advisory firm or hedge fund.
Given the Federal Court's appointment of a Receiver for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC ("Madoff Investments") and the freezing of its assets, it is unclear at this time as to what legal options for recovery investors who invested directly with Madoff Investments may have. However, those investors who invested with Madoff Investments through an intermediary, such as a securities brokerage firm, investment advisory firm or hedge fund, may have legal remedies available depending upon the facts of the particular case.
The Firm has spoken with several Madoff investors and is investigating to determine if any third-party intermediary that recommended and facilitated investments in Madoff Investments has legal liability for purposes of recovering investment losses.
The Law Firm of David R. Chase, P.A., has extensive experience representing defrauded investors nationwide in securities litigation matters. The Firm's principal, David R. Chase, has sixteen (16) years of experience, is AV-Rated by Martindale-Hubbell (its highest rating), and previously served as Senior Counsel in the Enforcement Division of the Securities and Exchange Commission and as a Special Assistant United States Attorney in the Economic Crimes Division of the United States Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida.
