Paul Vorndran and Javier Heres Secure Victory for Client in Securities Enforcement Lawsuit.
In a major win for Jones & Keller, the Colorado Securities Commissioner dropped her civil enforcement action against Michael Bissonnette and his company just weeks before trial. The Commissioner had accused Bissonnette of violating the Colorado Securities Act in connection with a securities offering for a failed restaurant venture. Rather than settle, Bissonnette—represented by Jones & Keller attorneys Paul Vorndran and Javier Heres—chose to fight the case and prevailed.
Vorndran and Heres mounted a robust defense, raising multiple substantive and procedural challenges that ultimately led to the Commissioner’s voluntary dismissal of all claims. “This is a rare and complete victory in securities enforcement defense,” said Vorndran. “We strongly believed the case never should have been brought.”
The dismissal not only clears Bissonnette’s name, but it highlights Vorndran and Heres’ strategic, principled advocacy in high-stakes regulatory matters.
