Irving, Texas FINRA Defense Lawyers

You may have read that Anne McCutcheon Crivelli of Irving, Texas was permanently barred by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) from working in the securities industry because she failed to comply with FINRA Rule 8210 and 2010. In October 2018, Anne McCutcheon Crivelli joined Charles Schwab & Co., in an unregistered capacity as an estate service specialist. The firm later filed a Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration (Form U5) disclosing that she had been terminated due to alleged misconduct. According to the findings, FINRA sent Crivelli a request to provide documents and information in connection with their investigation relating to a conversion of funds from a senior customer. The findings state that Crivelli responded to FINRA during a phone call, stating that she allegedly received, acknowledged, and refused the request to provide the documents and information at any time. Although Anne McCutcheon Crivelli is no longer associated with any FINRA member firm, she remains subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction. FINRA Rule 8210 states, in relevant part, that FINRA has the right to require a “person subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction to provide information orally, in writing, or electronically with respect to any matter involved in the investigation, complaint, examination or proceeding.” FINRA Rule 8210 also specifies that “no person shall fail to provide information or testimony pursuant to this Rule.” A failure to provide information and/or testimony requested by FINRA pursuant to Rule 8210 violates Rule 8210. Conduct that violates FINRA Rule 8210 also violates FINRA Rule 2010, which requires associated persons to “observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principals of trade.” Unfortunately, Anne McCutcheon Crivelli might have avoided that FINRA 8210 bar from the securities industry with a skilled and experienced FINRA 8210 defense attorney. It is important, early on, to have a FINRA defense attorney advise you on how not to make matters worse and resolve the dispute with the least amount of sanctions which could range from censures to fines, suspensions, permanent bars, and/or referrals to federal or state prosecutors. You will need an experienced FINRA defense lawyer who not only has knowledge of FINRA rules and procedures, the securities laws and the appropriate sanction for the alleged misconduct but also has an excellent reputation and credibility with the FINRA attorneys to negotiate the best outcome.
