Customer Complaints Against Christine Lambert
Christine Lambert has two customer dispute disclosures on her BrokerCheck record, both involving allegations related to corporate bond investments.
Complaint 1: Settled (2010)
On November 30, 2009, a customer filed a written complaint and FINRA arbitration against Christine Lambert while she was employed at Fifth Third Securities, Inc. The customer alleged that the representative misrepresented a corporate debt security that led to a purchase in May 2008. The complaint sought $50,090.31 in alleged damages.
The case was filed as FINRA arbitration docket number 09-06591 on November 27, 2009. The matter was settled on October 28, 2010, for $37,000. According to FINRA records, Lambert’s individual contribution to the settlement was $0.00, meaning the firm paid the entire settlement amount.
Complaint 2: Denied (2025)
On July 24, 2025, a customer filed a written complaint against Christine Lambert while she was employed at The Huntington Investment Company. The client alleged that he lost money due to his advisor’s recommendation to invest in a corporate bond. The complaint sought $37,062.79 in alleged damages.
The complaint was denied on September 15, 2025. A denied complaint means the allegations were contested and no settlement or payment was made.
Pattern of Complaints / Risk Factors
While each case is unique, complaints of this type may indicate concerns related to unsuitable investment recommendations, inadequate risk disclosures, or misrepresentation of investment features. Investors should carefully review account statements and seek legal guidance if similar issues occurred involving their accounts at Wells Fargo Advisors.
Both complaints involve corporate bonds, which may suggest patterns worth investigating. Corporate bonds carry different risks than FDIC-insured products, and proper disclosure of these risks is essential. Investors who were told that corporate bonds were equivalent to bank products or who were not informed about credit risk, interest rate risk, or liquidity concerns may have valid claims.

What is FINRA arbitration?
FINRA arbitration is a dispute resolution forum administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. It provides a more efficient alternative to traditional litigation for resolving disputes between investors and brokerage firms. An arbitration panel reviews evidence, hears testimony, and issues a binding decision. The process typically takes 12-16 months from filing to resolution.
What does “unsuitable investment” mean?
An unsuitable investment is one that does not align with an investor’s financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, or time horizon. Under FINRA rules, brokers must have a reasonable basis for believing that a recommended investment is suitable for a particular customer. Recommendations that prioritize the broker’s compensation over the client’s best interests may constitute unsuitable investment advice.
