The dispute filed on 1/17 claims a timeframe of November 2018 through the present. The other dispute has an unspecified time frame. All three of these disputes are pending.

Buffington had one previous dispute filed on 2/14/2018 with an unspecified time frame in which a client alleged “unauthorized trading and unsuitable investment recommendations.”  The client requested damages of $414,805.00, and the case settled for $136,982.43.
