Broker Tamber King Proctor Accused of Unsuitable Recommendations of NorthStar REIT and FS Energy & Power Fund

Two investors have filed complaints against previously registered broker Tamber King Proctor, according to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) BrokerCheck report. Both complaints center on Proctor’s activities while working for LPL Financial LLC, in Waynesboro, MS.  One dispute settled, while the other remains pending.

The settled dispute alleged that Proctor engaged in unauthorized trading between February 6, 2017 and April 25, 2017. FINRA received the complaint on May 1, 2017. The former customer claimed damages totalling $6,010.33, and the matter settled for $4,038.27, as per BrokerCheck’s report.

New Allegations of Unsuitable Investments in 2020

On December 15, 2020, another customer complaint against Proctor surfaced. LPL Financial LLC reported the complaint to FINRA, which consisted of multiple allegations. According to BrokerCheck data, the former customer accused the broker of making unsuitable investments in FS Energy & Power Fund and NorthStar Healthcare REIT on December 17, 2015.

The customer further alleges that Proctor failed to properly disclose the risks associated with these investments. The investor cites multiple forms of wrongdoing, including violation of securities laws, negligence, breach of contract and fiduciary duty, and vicarious liability.

Claimed damages amount to between $50,000 and $100,000, plus interest and costs, according to BrokerCheck.

A claim was filed with FINRA, and arbitration is currently pending.

What Our Clients Say

Client Testimonials

Below are some of the emails and letters that our clients have sent us.

At a time in our life when we were most vulnerable we lost control of our finances. We fell victim to a broker that took huge commissions and did not disclose that we were not able to access our money. Peter Mougey and his wonderful staff worked with us to make us whole again and got our money released. I cannot say enough about their work ethic, professionalism, and kindness during this stressful time for us. We had a 100% positive conclusion to our case and we strongly recommend Peter and the firm. We can now sleep at night! Fred & Pat H.

My husband and I were very pleased with the work that Peter and his team provided. He was very knowledgeable of the circumstances of our case and kept us informed throughout the process. He is extremely qualified and worked diligently on our behalf. We are positive that this case would not have been resolved in our favor had it not been for Peter's expertise and his passion. He definitely cares about his clients and we sincerely appreciate his efforts. Rachel C.

FRS is a governmental body. FRS retained the services of Peter Mougey of the LP law firm in a multimillion dollar lawsuit involving extremely complex issues. Mr. Mougey quickly mastered the issues and gave advice that was vital in bringing about a successful resolution. Two of the most important features of Mr. Mougey’s representation was his understanding of government and his ability to communicate complicated legal concepts to a 10-member board of trustees in language that was easily understood by all. I did not know Mr. Mougey before FRS retained him and, fortunately, have not experienced circumstances where the system would need his services again. However, if needed, I would have no hesitation in retaining his services again. Please let me know if you need any additional information or assistance. Steven S.

Edison's famous adage can't ever be ignored of course: 1 part inspiration and 99 parts perspiration. However the two attitudes must be present indissolubly--both are essential--if results are to be obtained. Peter Mougey’s group is aware of such a requirement, they work very hard at the latter, and the former comes easily to them, a rare combination anywhere to be found indeed. Raphael B.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Peter Mougey and your entire team on behalf of my family for the amazing job done during your representation. From day one I received kindness, rapid responses to all of my questions, with polite and patient encounters with all of your staff assistants. You are the best- and I will be eternally grateful to you and your entire team. Michelle E.
