Aegis Capital Corp. Broker Gerald Warren Seigel Has Multiple Customer Disputes

Broker Gerald Warren Seigel (CRD #418229) is currently registered at Aegis Capitol Corporation in Sarasota, Florida, offering investment services through American Wealth Management. According to BrokerCheck, Seigel has or has had three customer disputes.

A pending complaint against Seigel alleges negligence, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duty, with claimed damages ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. This complaint is currently in FINRA arbitration.

The two remaining disputes were denied for undisclosed reasons. One denied complaint alleged that Seigel engaged in unauthorized and unsuitable transactions between 1999 and 2007. The second alleged that Siegel failed to follow sale instructions and over-purchased shares.

Testimonials

Thank You from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for us. When we realized this was a very bad investment - we did not know where to turn for help. Then we received your name. When we called you - you were so kind to us and then agreed to help us. For this we are so very grateful. The world would be a much nicer place if there were more people like the two of you in it. We will always remember all the help and kindness you have shown us. Thank you so very very much for everything.

I am grateful to have found an outstanding law firm that specializes in securities matters. My lawyers were extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and are skilled litigators. No stone was left upturned. As a result of their experience and tenacity, the arbitration proceeding was dismissed in my favor.

Jim, Stephany and the whole team were a God send.  We felt like we were put into a situation where we had no advocate. Jim's team came in with a strong, well laid out strategy on how to get our story heard. Where our outside compliance company had no ability to help, our Broker Dealer was impenitent, and the regulators were aggressive pursuing vague rules, Jim came like a barricade against an assault we did not understand. Though you pay member dues to be affiliated with FINRA and a B/D, you have no voice. The only thing that is truly heard in this un-level playing field is a bulldog's bark like Jim's. I would encourage anyone to call Jim and his team to find a real ally in the tough and complicated world of securities regulation. They are truly the best.

I just wanted to say thanks again for preparing and executing my case in such a professional manner. It was a pleasure to watch two professionals take such pride in their work, as well as becoming personally in tune with your client (Me). I would personally recommend you and your firm to anyone.
