The case centers on allegations that during June of 2008, Williams recommended non-traded REITS (real estate investment trusts) and didn\u2019t disclose the nature and risks of these kinds of private securities. The customer is requesting damages of $350,000.<\/p>\n<p>On 2\/2\/2018, another customer\u2019s attorney filed a similar allegation with a 2008 time frame.
