Specifically, on April 2, 2024, a Wealth Advisors Group client filed a complaint about Richard Donatelli. The client alleged that Donatelli made unsuitable recommendations regarding an annuity, which was not in the client's best interest. Moreover, the client alleged that LPL Financial LLC and Pacific Life failed to supervise the suitability of the transaction. As a result, the client sustained damages. Therefore, the client requested $79,437.04 in compensation from Wealth Advisors Group. However, the firm denied this complaint.
Evidently, a client of LPL Financial LLC contested Richard Donatelli’s sales practices by filing FINRA Arbitration No. 22-02189.
