• Are demand letters effective to force a settlement with your previous employer?

  Asked in Floral Park, NY | April 6, 2026

  I am a former Financial Consultant with approximately 19 years at a regional bank, where I generated roughly $400,000 in annual production and earned in the range of $120,000+ at my peak. The key issue is not a typical customer dispute. The product and program were approved, structured, and supervised by the bank. I relied on that system in good faith. There are serious concerns regarding supervision, including involvement of individuals who may not have been properly licensed, and a broader failure of oversight at the institutional level. As a result, I now have multiple disclosures tied to a single product/program, which has effectively ended my ability to continue in the industry. I left my position in July 2025 and am evaluating my legal options to pursue damages related to loss of career, reputational harm, and negligent supervision.
