Financial Advisor Meaghan M. Johnson, Northwestern Mutual Investment Services in McLean,VA

Are you concerned about investments with Meaghan M. Johnson in McLean,VA? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA Dispute Resolution claim.

According to public records, Meaghan M. Johnson has reportedly been barred from the securities industry as of May 23, 2018. FINRA was reportedly investigating Johnson because a client complaint against Johnson’s joint work partner, alleging forgeries of client signatures, raised questions concerning Johnson’s possible involvement. Johnson reportedly refused to provide information in FINRA’s investigation, and has consequently been barred from associating with any FINRA member at any time.

According to her FINRA BrokerCheck report, Johnson was reportedly affiliated with Northwestern Mutual Investment Services in McLean, VA from 2010 until 2017 when she left the firm. Johnson reportedly has 9 customer complaints filed against her during 2017. Allegations include fraud, forgery, unsuitable investments, and unauthorized transactions, among others.

In two of the FINRA complaints filed in 2017, customers alleged unsuitable recommendations in a fund with Crescent Ridge Capital Partners. According to FINRA, “The individual operating this fund was charged in March 2017 for violations of federal laws in connection with his investment business.”

Investigating Potential Lawsuits

The White Law Group is investigating potential lawsuits regarding the liability that Johnson’s employers may have for failure to properly supervise her.

When brokers violate securities laws, such as making unauthorized transactions, the brokerage firm they are working with may be liable for investment losses through FINRA Arbitration.

Brokerage firms that fail to monitor the business activities of their employees may be liable for investment losses due to negligent supervision for the misconduct of their employees.
