FINRA BARS FA JAMES DAUGHTRY FOR FAILING TO COOPERATE WITH THE REGULATOR

Herskovits, PLLC

On March 18, 2020, FINRA barred FA James Daughtry for his refusal to appear for an on-the-record interview, which is akin to a deposition. Daughtry consented to the bar from the securities industry by executing the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) in Department of Enforcement v. James Blake Daughtry, Matter No. 2020065293201.

Background According to BrokerCheck, Daughtry entered the securities industry in 1999. He registered with Kestra Investment Services, LLC in February 2015 and remained with Kestra until his termination in March 2020. James Daughtry worked from a branch located in Dothan, Alabama.

FINRA’s Investigation

According to the AWC, “on February 21, 2020, in connection with an investigation into potentially fraudulent and unauthorized transactions in several of Daughtry’s customers’ accounts, FINRA sent a request to Daughtry for an on-the-record interview pursuant to FINRA Rule 8210.” Apparently, Daughtry’s attorney informed FINRA of Daughtry’s refusal to appear for the OTR.

I give Rob Herskovits and his law firm my strongest possible recommendation. He expertly guided me through a challenging and highly adversarial FINRA disciplinary hearing. Due largely to Rob's extraordinary efforts, each of FINRA's charges were ultimately dismissed by the hearing panel. It is...

Rob has handled customer matters (mediations and arbitrations) as well as regulatory matters for my firm. He is very knowledgeable about the process, and can explain the details in layman's terms. Rob presented our case very well and achieved successful results in every engagement.

I give Robert my highest recommendation. He and his firm helped me through what could have been an extended and financially troubling time. I am not sure that I could have cleared up a false accusation by a previous client had it not been for Robert and his firm, and for that I am very grateful.

Rob was great he helped my partner and I last year get two cases removed from our record that had no merit. You know how the firms are they represent themselves and settle we suffer. Rob represents you and he’s great!!
