Our Services

JMW provides services to assist in the defence against boiler room fraud in all its forms, regardless of the complexity of the case. Boiler room fraud relates to the selling of shares that are heavily overpriced, worthless or, in very serious cases, completely non-existent. A fraudster will generally cold call an individual and offer the chance to invest in these shares; they'll promise high returns that sound too good to be true, and usually are.

We understand the sometimes incredibly fine distinction between an investment scheme that is fraudulent and one that is simply unsuccessful and can advise you on the right action to take. We know that legitimate professionals and businesses can be unfairly tainted by scrutiny of this type and can unwittingly become involved in such accusations.

Conspiracy to defraud - which essentially means an agreement to defraud someone - is the most common charge for this type of fraud. Importantly, it is the job of the prosecution in such cases to prove dishonesty, and a conviction cannot be made if this cannot be shown. At JMW, our expert solicitors can help you build the best possible defence to help you avoid conviction and other penalties.  We have extensive knowledge of this area of the law and a track record of success in defending boiler room fraud cases.
