Evidently, a Dempsey Lord Smith client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 24-02636 about Duvan Brock. Mainly, the client alleged that Brock engaged in an improper sales practice involving an unsolicited trade. Because of this, the client allegedly sustained damages associated with direct investments. Consequently, on December 4, 2025, Dempsey Lord Smith settled this matter by paying the client $27,500. According to Brock, the client decided to proceed after multiple discussions, and the settlement represented a business decision rather than an admission of fault.
