Soreide Law Group is investigating possible investor claims against securities broker Joseph P. Katzaroff (also known as Joseph Patrick Katzaroff) [CRD: 1811119, Irvine, California]. Specifically, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck discloses that investors disputed the sales practices of the securities broker, who worked for UBS Financial Services Inc. Notably, investors allege unsuitable trading. Here is a brief summary of the disclosures about Katzaroff.
Particularly, on June 1, 2023, a UBS Financial Services Inc. client filed a complaint about Joseph Katzaroff. Namely, the client alleged that Katzaroff engaged in unsuitable trading. Because of this, the client allegedly sustained damages. Therefore, the client requested $1,000,000 in compensation from UBS Financial Services Inc. or Katzaroff. Evidently, this complaint is pending a resolution.
Also, a client of UBS Financial Services Inc. contested Joseph Katzaroff’s sales practices, according to a complaint dated April 25, 2016. Allegedly, Katzaroff made unsuitable recommendations, engaged in unauthorized trading, and made omissions. Supposedly, Katzaroff caused the client to sustain damages. Therefore, the client sought compensatory relief from UBS Financial Services Inc. or Katzaroff in this matter. However, the securities firm and broker denied this complaint.
Particularly, a PaineWebber client filed a complaint about Joseph Katzaroff. Namely, the client alleged that Katzaroff engaged in unsuitable trading. Because of this, the client allegedly sustained damages on unit investment trusts. Therefore, on October 16, 2000, PaineWebber settled this matter by paying the client $110,000 in damages.
Also, a client of PaineWebber contested Joseph Katzaroff’s sales practices by filing NASD Arbitration: 98-04791. Allegedly, Katzaroff made misrepresentations, made unsuitable recommendations, and breached a fiduciary duty. It appears that Katzaroff caused the client to sustain damages. Therefore, PaineWebber opted to settle the matter on May 18, 1999, by compensating the client in the amount of $73,000.
Joseph Katzaroff worked for UBS Financial Services Inc. as a securities broker since August 1988 and as a financial advisor since July 1997.
