Particularly, on February 20, 2025, a Cambridge Investment Research Inc. client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 25-00359 about John Mickelson. The client alleged that Mickelson made unsuitable recommendations in oil and gas investments. The client further claimed that the securities broker was after high commissions and fees. Supposedly, Mickelson deprived them of returns from a diversified portfolio. Therefore, the client requested compensation from Cambridge or Mickelson. Evidently, this arbitration is pending a resolution.
Also, a client of Cambridge Investment Research Inc. disputed John Mickelson’s sales practices by filing FINRA Arbitration No. 25-00140 on January 21, 2025.

Steven Graham (CRD 1977736) denies the allegations in a pending customer claim filed on August 11, 2026. The disclosure names Western International Securities as the firm, and the claim involves corporate bonds. No arbitrator has ruled on it. His BrokerCheck report also lists a settled bond dispute and a federal court matter from earlier years.
A claim filed on September 11, 2024 names Thomas Hamlin (CRD 2208505) over a 10% Senior Unsecured Note in iCap Fund III. Every disclosure on his BrokerCheck report involves an iCap private placement and names Somerset Securities as the firm. Each one settled, and a settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.
Peter Po's most recent settlement came on June 28, 2026, when a corporate bond claim settled for $40,000. Po (CRD 3106974) appears in several settled customer disputes over corporate and high-yield bonds. The disclosures name NI Advisors or California Securities as the firm, and each matter ended in a settlement, not a finding.
