AWC/2007011172601
Savage altered a subscription agreement by signing a customer’s initials on the agreement after the customer had failed to initial one section of the agreement. Savage’s firm had both a specific policy prohibiting the alteration of subscription agreements and a more general policy requiring that firm records be truthful and accurate. Savage acknowledged that she was aware of the firm’s policy against alteration of documents and knew it was a violation when she initialed the paperwork on the customer’s behalf.
Diane Jo Savage: Fined $5,000; Suspended 30 days in all capacities
