Investors apparently complained about securities broker Timothy Roark (also known as Tim Roark) [CRD: 5949136, Gainesville, Florida], given the disclosures on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Roark worked for Valmark Securities Inc. from September 16, 2011, to February 28, 2025, and has also been associated with Koss Olinger Company and Koss-Olinger Consulting LLC in Gainesville, Florida. Investors are encouraged to continue reading to find out more about this disclosure.
A breach of fiduciary duty occurs when a financial advisor fails to act in the best interests of a client. Advisors are expected to provide suitable recommendations, disclose conflicts of interest, and prioritize the client’s financial goals. When they do not meet these obligations, it may lead to financial harm for the investor.
Evidently, on November 25, 2025, a Valmark Securities Inc. client filed Civil Action No. 01 2025 CA 001683 about Timothy Roark. Mainly, the client alleged that Roark breached his fiduciary duty, was negligent, and made misrepresentations, along with claims of unjust enrichment. For this reason, the investor allegedly sustained damages. Consequently, the client requested $100,000,000 in compensation from Valmark Securities Inc. or Roark. Evidently, this civil suit awaits a resolution.
Separately, on June 3, 2025, a complaint involving Koss Olinger Company LLC and/or Koss Olinger Consulting LLC was filed in the Eighth Judicial Circuit in Alachua County, Florida. The complaint alleges that the firm acted as an investment advisor from 2008 through 2025. Allegations concern direct investments and promissory notes. The client requested $1,000,000 in damages. This matter is also pending.
