DALLAS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC ], founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the securities litigation law firm of [ Powers Taylor, LLP ] are investigating potential legal claims against the officers and Board of Directors of Itron, Inc.

It has been alleged in a recently-filed complaint that during the Class Period, Itron and certain of its officers and directors made materially false and misleading statements related to Itrona™s business and operations in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On February 17, 2011, after Itron announced it was restating its financial results for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2010, Itrona™s shares plummeted by $6.33 per share.
