Daniel O’Halloran Red Flags & Your Rights As An Investor

Of course, Sean Olsen did not admit to any of the allegations. But regardless of whether an arbitration award was entered, a settlement occurred, or the customer complaint is still pending, the allegations made by customers are red flags which should put all current and former customers of Sean Olsen at Garden State Securities, Inc. on alert to review carefully the activity and performance of their accounts and question whether Sean Olsen has engaged in any stockbroker misconduct that may have caused them investment losses. The large number of customer complaints at Garden State Securities, Inc. also raises questions about the brokerage firms’ supervisory practices. If these red flags raise questions, call us and we will inform you of your rights as an investor.
