Investors potentially incurred losses because of securities broker John Paul Ledesma (also known as JP Ledesma) [CRD: 2379751, Irvine, California], according to publicly available information on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Ledesma has been registered with Emerson Equity LLC since May 6, 2021, and previously worked for Sutter Capital Partners LLC from March 26, 2019, to May 5, 2021, and Capulent LLC from January 29, 2019, to May 3, 2021.

Specifically, on November 12, 2025, an Emerson Equity LLC client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 25-02476 about John Ledesma. Mainly, the client alleged that Ledesma breached his fiduciary duty, breached a contract, violated federal securities laws, violated the California Securities Act, violated the Ohio Securities Act, and was negligent. For this reason, the client allegedly incurred damages associated with real estate securities. Consequently, the client requested compensatory damages from Emerson Equity LLC or Ledesma. BrokerCheck shows that this arbitration is ongoing.
Particularly, a client of Emerson Equity LLC disputed Ledesma’s sales practices by filing FINRA Arbitration No. 25-02215 on October 27, 2025. Allegedly, Ledesma breached his fiduciary duty, breached a contract, violated federal securities laws, violated the California Securities Act, violated the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, and was negligent. It appears that Ledesma allegedly caused the client to sustain damages related to real estate securities. As a result, the client seeks compensation from Emerson Equity LLC or Ledesma in this ongoing matter.
