A March 2023 Carlson Law recap described a then-pending $448,781.65 complaint alleging unsuitable corporate bonds and elder abuse. That snapshot is from when BrokerCheck showed one dispute. It is not on the Aug 2026 pending list; the live items are the real-estate-security wave. Plaintiff-attorney pages (Carlson; Pearce / SECatty, Nov 2025) recap the same FINRA dockets and are not findings.
