Daniel Evans: $10 Million Complaint Against Seattle Advisor

Wells Fargo financial advisor Daniel Evans (CRD# 1573625) recently received an investor complaint alleging eight-figure damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records indicate that he is a broker and an investment advisor based in Seattle, Washington. According to his firm’s website, he is a member of Evans Cahill Private Wealth Group.

Mr. Evans’ BrokerCheck report discloses two investor complaints. The most recent, filed in December 2021, alleges that as a representative of Wells Fargo Clearing Services, he recommended unsuitable investments between 2015 and 2020. The pending complaint alleges damages of “not less than $10,000,000.00.”

An earlier complaint, filed in 2003, alleges that as a representative of Salomon Smith Barney, he failed to disclose the charges associated with mutual fund sales. The complaint reached a settlement of $80,000. In a statement on the disclosure, Mr. Evans wrote that the complaint “has been completely mischaracterized by [his] former firm.” He added that “[t]here was no failure to disclose a mutual fund sales charge on my part,” and that the underlying matter was “a[n] operational failure to process the order properly.”

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Daniel Evans holds 32 years of securities industry experience. Based in Seattle, Washington, he has been a broker and an investment advisor with Wells Fargo Clearing Services, where he is a member of Evans Cahill Private Wealth Group, since 2003.
