In the securities industry, your U4 is like a permanent record that follows you around no matter where you go or what you do.

Client complaints, lawsuits, arbitration, terminations, judgements, etc all go on there.
Mine was clean.
Key word being "was."
Naturally in a bear market someone is going to end up complaining about something. I need the attorney to help me with ammending the new mark on my U-4 or having it removed completely.
If I ever decide to switch companies, most of the big ones only hire you if you have a clean U-4.
