Legal Question in Investment Law in Florida

I believe I've been a victim on a Ponzi scheme. I was convinced by a "friend" to give a bridge loan for $80K in return for $120K 6-12 months later. Needless to say, I have not been paid back and it's been one excuse after another. I now think it was a ponzi scheme and even though I may never see any of my money again, I would like the person responsible to face charges. Legal or Civil or both. What are the first steps I should take? What type of lawyer should I engage?

Thank you,

Rob Hinchliffe

I would like to speak to you on the phone to discuss this matter in more detail. Some initial questions: (1) is the "friend" a broker/dealer? (2) does the "friend" have money/assets if you were to sue him and obtain a judgment (3) where (county in Florida) did this occur (4) were any agreements signed and do you have them

Please call me at 561-266-9191. Thank you.
