Tracy Pride Stoneman is a nationally known lawyer whose practice consists exclusively of representing investors in investment disputes.  Her experience in this arena is extensive, since she’s been representing investors in securities arbitrations for over 20 years.  In 2011, she obtained the highest arbitration award ever against Raymond James Financial Services and for years, she held the highest arbitration award ever against UBS PaineWebber.  She is a dedicated and strong advocate for the investor.  Mrs. Stoneman’s husband is Douglas Schulz, a renowned securities fraud expert witness.  In their over 20 years together, they have worked on almost 2,000 securities cases.  Unlike many other securities lawyers, Mrs. Stoneman does not accept a case unless she is willing to try it.  That doesn’t mean that she tries every case, but what it does mean is that opposing counsel know that they won’t be able to settle out cheap.  And that results in higher settlements and better results for her clients.  Her experience includes time as a judge, a partner and trial lawyer in a very large Dallas, Texas law firm, a published author, and a frequent lecturer in the area of securities fraud. In addition to her book, Mrs. Stoneman has also authored and published articles on numerous subjects important to investors.

December 27, 2002 article discloses the harm inflicted by one particular broker in Merrill's Dallas office and what his clients are doing about it. Click here to read the entire article.

Once a bad egg, always a bad egg.  The stockbroker mentioned above Brion Randall left Merrill Lynch and went on to open his own "consulting" firm in Dallas, Texas. Between 2004 and 2009, he raised more than $6 million from 30 investors in schemes that were devised by Randall to simply line his own pockets.  Many of his victims were friends and people he befriended. Though these folks may never see any recovery of the money they've lost, Brion Randall received his comeuppance: on September 30, 2010 he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for bank and wire fraud.  He was led away from the sentencing hearing in handcuffs directly to jail.  Click here to read the sentencing.
