FL, March 26 - As a key contributor to the enforcement of investors' statutory rights under provisions of the Florida Investor Protection Act, Securities Fraud Attorney Mark Tepper has retained NewsMark Public Relations to underscore his campaign against abusive broker sale practices.
Tepper, a former New York Assistant Attorney General and Chief Trial Counsel at the Bureau of Investor Protection and Securities, representing the interests of investors in criminal and civil actions in over 30 years of practicing law, has completed examination of a five-year survey of Florida Arbitration Awards.
An author of numerous articles on securities arbitration, his findings, the latest in his efforts to determine whether Florida arbitrators have enforced the statutory rights provided to investment fraud victims, will be published next month in the PIABA Bar Journal of the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association. "I'm appalled by the staggering percentage of times, over the years of the study that investors failed to reap full benefits of the excellent provisions of the Florida Investor Protection Act." Tepper said.
"Attorney Mark Tepper brings an integrity and passion to his mission to protect investors who have been victimized by aggressive broker sale tactics. We're considering a number of speaking platforms where he can share his invaluable legal insights with individual investors who feel their portfolios have been mishandled," said NewsMark CEO Mark Hopkinson.
