Good Company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have know Lou for a year now. I see how he helps so many people recover money from Broker/Dealers.

He is very passionate about making sure all his clients do not get hurt and always is honest. I have seen this first hand. I would refer him to anyone who is suffering from a financial loss from predatory Brokers. To much scam and loss happens to the elderly people in this county.

Cold Spring does their job. Not everyone can be happy and not everyone who goes for help can recover a loss but most do. I need to say a 100 words to complete this posting and I pretty much said it all. BUT I will say I do understand that people have high expectations and when they do not get what they want they complain.

More people complain then put up good postings about business and most postings are done in revenge and that is sad but it does happen. I am fair when I post a review weather it is a good or not good posting because I am also a businessman who understands how consumes are.

You are a liar.

Andres Sgf

He was barred from the business from scamming people and even went bankrupt, look up his brokerage license. Lou is a piece of *** that's the type of person you want representing you

Lavance Ngn

Louis Ottimo and Cold Spring Advisory are a group of individuals whom where disbarred for stealing investors money. They have now found a loophole to continue to steal money from investors with our being regulated by FINRA.

Take a look at their track record, they are 1 for 26.

The only people that win is them collecting up-front retainers and are engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. https://www.financial-planning.com/news/in-finra-arbitration-banned-brokers-represent-investors-as-do-others-with-criminal-histories

Do not trust

I was contacted and told to gather and send all of my statements and confirmations from the last several years. Having been taken for I ride only already I decided to do some digging.

Upon doing my research I discovered that the proprietors of this organization are all former stock brokers themselves. They themselves have been bared from securities trading and their firms shut down by the SEC. In fact I learned that one of their employees even worked at the firm that lost me my money! If it sounds too good to be true it probably is!!!

Nice try but this old dog finally learned his lesson.

They stole over 7,000 from me

They took a look at all my statements from firms I dealt with for free. They told me i had a really solid case.

Than when it was time to proceed with the case I was charged over 7,000 in fees and got nothing in return. These guys are worse crooks than the actual brokers. Smooth talking, after do more investigation all these guys are actually ex brokers who got barred by the SEC. My broker informed me these guys steal clients lists and harass individuals to sue there brokers.

How is that legal in any way. These guys are scam artist and I am filing a suit against them

Cold Spring Advisory is known for saying "whatever it takes" to convince people to sue a broker firm regardless of merit. Cold Spring Advisory is composed of all shady characters, felons, and con artists.

They will basically flat out say, "well just claim everything against the broker and firm and they will just settle b/c no-one wants to go to court. Well guess what, they haven't been relaying MANY settlement offers and in addition losing in court. RESULTING in another loss to the brokerage firm client.

Hi anonymous can you please call regarding your dealings with Cold Spring Advisory. Bill 631-463-****

I too was taken by Jennifer Tarr. She and her company Cold Spring Advisory are crooks.

In so sorry I listened to this women. She is a liar.

She's the one that should be thrown in jail. She's the one that she be fined.

We just received a threatening telephone call from a John Murphy at Coldspring Advisory based upon an article we wrote exposing their antics and operation and “cold” calling victims from lists they obtained from the bad brokers themselves. If we did not take down our article, they would hire people to write bad reviews about us all over the internet.

Research

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I caught wind of Cold Spring Advisory and Louis Ottimo and researched them. The more I dug, the more ominous it began to look.

A former broker that was barred from the securities industry now collects upfront fees to go after people like him. I received a call from Louis Ottimo about a month ago, partly in reference to the article I wrote in September about him and his affiliation with Cold Spring Advisory, and also about me reaching out to a client. none answered the call, though I'm not surprised. You can't defend a house of cards against even a hint of a negative wind.

Louis claims to be just a consultant, but my research into the matter revealed that he had far more access to the day to day business affairs of Cold Spring Advisory than he claimed.

In fact: Louis Ottimo was the sole source of their client lead list; he engaged with and choose the lawyers that would represent said clients; he generated the checks to pay such lawyers; he alone interviewed all clients and their stock portfolios; and; he alone determined the up front fees to charge said clients. By this account, whether he was paid as an employee or a consultant, nonetheless made him essentially a de facto employee of the company.

Seems now that they are giving financial advise. The last i was a aware brokers barred from FINRA weren't allowed to give financial advise under law, and Louis Ottimo has been barred and appears to be the driving force behind Cold Spring Advisory

Julian, some helpful links on your journey for information. There is a current civil case filed in New York against Cold Spring Advisory Group alleging that they are acting on ill gotten client information through illicit means.

This would be an extremely severe crime both in the State of NY, and the Financial Industry. Furthermore, the assumed Controller of Cold Spring Advisory Group is, Louis Ottimo, who was barred from the financial industry, which stipulates that he cannot associate with any broker dealer or entity registered with both FINRA and the SEC. This is where it gets interesting. Just recently the SEC and FINRA have issued newsletters directly addressing the murky industry of "investment recovery" companies, and advising against any company calling to solicit an arbitration claim.

Presumably both US government arms (FINRA/SEC) are investigating Cold Spring Advisory Group and similar entities.

Civil case found here:

Hmm, we'll doing my own research I've come across a lot of filings and articles that support what anonymous states about Louis Ottimo, as well as a recent action by National Securities against Cold Spring Advisory listed in the New York Law journal. So while you want to sling mud against someone you alledge wrote the first post, I couldn't care who he is, I've learned who you are and will continue to investigate this.

but he is a *** bag all the same just like his father

ColdSpringAdvisoryGroup

The post in questions is not a customer of ours, nor do his claims constitute an actual customer experience. The author of this complaint is believed to be someone who is not a client of Cold Spring Advisory Group and is taking the time to submit these reviews out of a personally-held vendetta.

Cold Spring Advisory recently named John L. Parmigiani, the president and CEO of EJ Sterling, a broker-dealer located at 40 Broad Street in New York City, and his firm in a complaint on behalf of a client who lost over $43,000 and was charged in excess of $21,000 in commissions within an 8-month period. We believe he may by the author in question of this post.

Furthermore, the claims made by the author of this are absolutely baseless.

As this is in no way a client of Cold Spring Advisory Group there is no contract or $12,500 as stated in the demands of the complaint. This “report” is obviously void of specifics relating to any case, and is clearly an attempt to smear the reputation of Mr. Ottimo and his family, taking a “shotgun approach” with outrageous defamatory statements.

Mr.

Parmigiani has worked in the securities industry for 18 years and has been employed by 9 different firms, 2 of which have been expelled by FINRA (Harrison Securities, Inc. and Prestige Financial Center) and 3 others are no longer licensed and their registrations with FINRA have been terminated (First Asset Management, Inc., Ladenburg Capital Management, Inc. and S.W. Bach & Company).

Cold Spring Advisory Group will continue to monitor the internet for any and all attempts to defame, harass, or otherwise intimidate our firm, our clients, and our consultants.

Louis Ottimo of Cold Spring Advisory Files Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We’ve been following an interesting case of a former stock broker. he was in the securities industry for many years, and had many sanctions, liens, withheld crucial information in filings, failed to make filings, and was ultimately barred from the industry by FINRA.

Now Louis Ottimo of Cold Spring Advisory files Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

Mr. Ottimo has had been attached to controversy most of his career; he’s been sanctioned, been sued, had liens filed, and was attached to many companies that he ran, either on paper or not, that have all either filed bankruptcy and/or been sanctioned by the industry regulatory body (and other agencies).
