Sonn Law is reviewing customer disputes involving Araya Mesfin (CRD No. 4828859), a Morgan Stanley financial advisor in Atlanta, Georgia.

According to FINRA BrokerCheck, Mesfin has two pending customer disputes.

One claimant seeks $20 million and alleges that Mesfin made unsuitable recommendations involving highly leveraged triple-net-lease commercial real estate investments while associated with UBS Financial Services. The claim also alleges inadequate risk disclosures, improper account withdrawals, and participation in an outside company. It was filed as FINRA Arbitration No. 26-00348.

A second pending FINRA arbitration alleges Regulation Best Interest violations and an unsuitable investment strategy involving a Morgan Stanley Liquidity Access Line and managed accounts. The damages are currently unspecified.

These are pending allegations and have not been proven or adjudicated. Mesfin may dispute the claims. FINRA BrokerCheck report (FINRA)
