JPMorgan Pursues Legal Action Against Advisor Who Moved to Ä¢¹½´«Ã½lls Fargo

Posted on January 26th, 2024 at 1:21 PM

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ 

JPMorgan Chase & Co. has initiated legal action, seeking a temporary restraining order against former employee Jeffry Neal Carel. Carel, a former private client advisor with J.P. Morgan Securities, resigned and joined Ä¢¹½´«Ã½lls Fargo Advisors.

The complaint alleges that Carel violated his employment agreements by taking customer information and engaging in improper solicitation efforts. Neither Carel nor Ä¢¹½´«Ã½lls Fargo has responded to the complaint. According to AdvisorHub, the move follows a pattern for JPMorgan, as the bank has a history of pursuing legal action against former employees, claiming that they have breached their employment agreements.

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ just wanted to say thanks for your work in helping us get back some of the money we lost. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ are not by any means rich, but we have saved some money and we have done so through a tight-fisted approach to most everything we do. So losing a significant chunk of money hurt…especially at a time when everyone else was growing their accounts. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ really appreciate the work you did.
