Poor Representation

Ms. Kim, an SEC attorney, investigated my complaint about a CFP who misrepresented himself and had a clause in his ADV Part 2 offering a discount on his fee for investors that met certain criteria. Although it was plainly stated, Ms. Kim would not and did not pursue this infraction. The sad part is... that a federal agency that is supposed to protect the investor, did just the opposite. I'm sure I'm not the only investor with this advisor that was denied the stated discount on fees. Hence the SEC, and specifically Ms. Kim did not do their job. She told me to hire an outside lawyer. I wasn't bringing this case just for me. It was for all investors that may have been cheated by this firm.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
