Soreide Law Group filed a FINRA arbitration on behalf of our clients (Claimants) against:
TRIAD ADVISORS LLC (Respondent)
The Claimants reside in New Jersey and at all times relevant maintained accounts with TRIAD ADVISORS, a member of FINRA, with offices around the country.
The lawsuit alleges that the Claimants bring this claim to recover the losses due to conduct of the Respondent.
Allegedly, TRIAD ADVISORS solicited the Claimants to invest in a non-traded REIT called Northstar Healthcare REIT. Allegedly, TRIAD ADVISORS failed to adequately advise the Claimants regarding the risk of the recommendation, and the high commissions the Respondent received for selling the REIT. Northstar Healthcare REIT has suspended dividends and cannot be liquidated on the market.
The Claimant, the lawsuit alleges, has suffered significant damages of at least $99,000 during a time when the financial markets have enjoyed record returns.
The lawsuit is alleging: negligent supervision, breach of fiduciary duty, violation of FINRA rules, breach of contract and negligence.
