The Fort Lauderdale, Florida based Soreide Law Group, phone (888) 760-6552, has obtained the following summation of information from FINRA’s website, under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, May, 2014.”

Matthew John Ortman (CRD #2734101, Jacksonville, Florida)

was barred by FINRA. There was a FINRA investigation concerning the alleged falsification of records by Matthew Ortman and his failure to amend his Form U4 which would have reflected Ortman's tax liens and Ortman's customer complaint.

During the course of FINRA's investigation, allegedly Ortman advised FINRA that he did receive the notice to appear, but Ortman stated he would not appear for the testimony or appear anytime thereafter. Ortman failed to appear for testimony in FINRA's investigation and was consequently barred by FINRA.
(FINRA Case #2013036721701)

Matthew John Ortman was previously registered with the following FINRA firm(s):

AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. (CRD# 6363) - JACKSONVILLE, FL
