A: Most likely, your current securities broker and brokerage firm will not send your account to a third party for an audit, if you make such a request. However, you may independently consult with another securities broker or lawyer to get an opinion on whether the trades are suitable in light of your investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance. Most securities lawyers, like myself, will provide a free consultation to determine whether you have a claim against the securities broker and brokerage firm.
