In December 2018, Daniel Dillard was the subject of a civil judgment or lien in the amount of $59,428.33. In general, judgment liens are court rulings that give a creditor the right to take possession of a debtor’s property when the debtor has failed to fulfill his or her contractual obligations. Sometimes, these types of disclosures reflect IRS judgments, tax liens, and/or civil judgments against a financial advisor. As of this publication date, this event remains pending.

In September 2015, FINRA initiated a regulatory action against or in reference to Daniel Dillard. Without admitting or denying the findings, Dillard consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he tracked his progress towards generating $1,500,000 in net commissions, as part of a financial institution services agreement with a third party, using his member firm’s year-to-date commission summaries. The findings stated that once he reached that amount, Dillard took an internal firm form that he submitted previously to his firm and falsified it by altering the commission distribution percentages to reflect 25 percent to the third party and 75 percent to Dillard, reusing the third party President’s prior signature, and then submitting the falsified form to his firm. Dillard changed the commission distribution percentages and reused the third party president’s prior signature without the third party’s knowledge, authorization, or consent. The findings also stated that Dillard’s actions caused his firm to maintain inaccurate books and records.

In April 2013, LPL Financial LLC terminated Daniel Dillard for submitting an altered document regarding the advisor’s commission split with the bank, previously signed by the bank CEO, to the firm.
