Bakhtiari & Harrison, a premier law firm focusing on representing parties in securities litigation claims and in the FINRA forum, proudly announces a significant victory in a FINRA expungement case. The firm successfully secured an award recommending the removal of defamatory information from the Claimant’s Central Registration Depository (CRD) record, reaffirming its dedication to defending financial professionals nationwide.
This case highlights the fallout from Wells Fargo’s years-long culture of unethical practices. Beginning in the early 2000s, Wells Fargo engaged in deceptive actions, including unauthorized account openings and fraudulent sales tactics. When exposed, the firm faced billions in fines but attempted to repair its image by terminating thousands of brokers—many of whom were innocent of wrongdoing.
The Claimant, a former Wells Fargo financial professional, became one of these victims despite the Claimant’s record. The baseless CRD disclosure caused irreparable harm to the Claimant’s career. Bakhtiari & Harrison took decisive action, leveraging their unmatched experience in FINRA expungement to ensure a just resolution.
“This case is about more than clearing a record; it’s about standing up to systemic wrongdoing in the financial industry,” said David Harrison, co-founder of Bakhtiari & Harrison. “FINRA expungement is a powerful tool to correct injustices, and we’re honored to help our client reclaim her professional reputation.”
