J.P. Morgan Seeks TRO Over Departing Advisor

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law:

J.P. Morgan Chase’s brokerage business has requested that a Louisville, Kentucky, federal court issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) barring one of its former advisors from soliciting its clients. 

J.P. Morgan Securities alleges that Timothy Logsdon brought $17 million in client assets to his new firm, BLVD Private Wealth Management, which violates his employment agreements. According to J.P. Morgan, Logsdon joined BLVD in November 2021 and previously had managed $153 million for at least 289 clients. 

BLVD’s website lists Chris Brady as its founder and Ashley Baumgardner as its office manager, both of which previously worked for J.P. Morgan. Logsdon allegedly informed clients that he would provide “more investment options” and “lower fees” at BLVD. Further, Logsdon alleged stated that J.P. Morgan advisors who had been assigned their accounts “already have too many accounts to service” and “are only concerned with growing their business”, according to the complaint.

I learned two important things working with Eccleston Law. First, I made a friend and ally with Jim and Steph for life. Secondly, and this is a crucial life lesson - if you need counsel, then seek out the very best. Jim was referred to me by a most trusted source. I've never had to hire an attorney for anything. Now, I know the value of hiring an important partner. Meticulous, thorough and detailed in preparation is the best way to describe Jim. Brilliant too, I might add. Bottom line, I would highly highly recommend Jim and Stephany for your legal needs. One of the best life decisions I've ever made.
