Soreide Law Group has new information to share with you in regard to securities broker Mitchell Louis Silverman (CRD#: 500504, Boca Raton, Florida). Notably, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) shows that six investors filed investment disputes about the securities broker, who worked for securities firm JB Hanauer before joining Raymond James Associates as securities broker and financial advisor in 2002. Let’s take a closer look at the allegations that clients made about him, and what you could do if you experienced losses.
Evidently, a client of Raymond James Associates brought a dispute about Mitchell Silverman in October 2019. Mainly, the client alleged that Silverman made unsuitable trades. It is possible that the client’s suitability profile did not match up with the manner in which the account was traded. Supposedly, because of Silverman, the client incurred losses on stock trades. However, Raymond James Associates denied this client’s dispute in March 2020.
Notably, a client of Raymond James Associates disputed Mitchell Silverman’s sales practices. In this May 2018 FINRA Arbitration Claim, the client first alleged that Silverman breached a fiduciary duty to them on sector concentration and equities investments. Secondly, the broker is accused of negligence. Thirdly, the client alleges that Raymond James acted in breach of contract and violated conduct rules. For this reason, the client supposedly experienced damages from September 2004 to April 2018. It appears that Raymond James Associates settled this matter through paying the client $10,000 in July 2018.
In a prior dispute on Mitchell Silverman’s BrokerCheck record, a client of Raymond James Associates alleged unsuitable recommendations. It seems that Silverman invested the client in municipal debt products. Those trades seemingly conflicted with the client’s investment profile and poorly performed. For this reason, the client sought compensation. However, Raymond James denied this dispute.
In the first three disputes on Mitchell Silverman’s BrokerCheck record, clients collectively allege failure to supervise. These disputes come from at least two JB Hanauer clients. It seems that they possibly incurred losses on bad limited partnership investments. One of those clients who alleged churning and misrepresentation received $500,000 in the settlement of their dispute although the investor reportedly withdrew claims against Silverman prior to the settlement.
