Securities and Investment Fraud Lawyers

Experience Matters

You hire a lawyer to provide advice and to advocate on your behalf. Sound advice and effective advocacy require more than knowledge of the applicable law and facts – they are the product of judgment. Judgment comes from experience. Our Atlanta securities attorneys have over 20 years of experience in representing individuals and businesses in a variety of matters, including financial fraud litigation, securities arbitration, business and commercial litigation, employment disputes, class action litigation and securities and commodities industry regulatory defense matters.

The Doss Firm’s Track Record

Our lawyers have extensive experience representing consumers, investors and businesses in class actions, including healthcare-related class actions, as well as financial fraud litigation and securities arbitrations.  Some of our cases include:

Thrash in MDL to lead the consumer track and represent the interests of over 145 million consumers nationwide who had their personal identifiable information (PII) stolen in one of the largest data breaches in U.S. history. The case settled for over $380 million and is the largest data breach settlement in U.S. history.

Elizabeth Belin v. Health Insurance Innovations, Inc., 19-cv-61430 (S.D. Florida).  Appointed co-lead counsel and represented a class of more than 200,000 consumers nationwide who were allegedly defrauded into purchasing major medical health insurance when in fact, the policies were limited indemnity.  The Court certified a nationwide federal RICO class, which is a very difficult achievement.  The case settled for approximately $27.5 million.

Fowler v. SCANA Energy Marketing, Inc., No. 1:12-cv-02356-RLV (N.D. Ga.).  Appointed as Co-lead counsel for consumer class of approximately 250,000 members alleging that the second largest natural gas provider in Georgia, SCANA Energy, overcharged them for natural gas services.  The case settled for $6.5 million.

Over the last 20 years, Jason Doss has also represented individual investors in investment disputes in federal and state court as well as securities arbitrations sponsored by FINRA.  For example, our firm successfully represented a large of group of investors who were defrauded in a Ponzi scheme at the Atlanta-based mega-church, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. The case was deemed as one of the largest church-based affinity fraud schemes in American history, received national media attention, and was featured on the popular ABC show Nightline.

Our firm is devoted to protecting investors from investment abuse. 

Mr. Doss has also written and lectured on legal topics related to securities arbitration. Jason Doss co-authored his second book entitled, A Practitioner’s Guide To Securities Arbitration, which was published by the American Bar Association and released in March 2013. That book is used at many law schools across the country as a text to teach students about securities arbitration practice and procedure.
