Investigation Alert: Christy Lambert and Wells Fargo Advisors Face Scrutiny Over Investment Complaints
Table of Contents
Haselkorn & Thibaut (investmentfraudlawyers.com) has opened an investigation into Columbus, Ohio-based financial advisor Christy Lambert and her current firm Wells Fargo Advisors. This investigation comes in response to multiple investor complaints alleging issues with corporate bond investments that resulted in significant financial losses.
Understanding the Recent Complaints Against Christy Lambert
If you’ve worked with Christy Lambert at Wells Fargo Advisors or Bridge Wealth Partners, you should be aware of recent developments in her professional record. According to FINRA BrokerCheck records, Lambert (CRD# 1919326) has been the subject of two formal investor complaints throughout her career.
The most recent complaint, filed in July 2025, alleges that Lambert’s recommendation of a corporate bond investment while representing Wells Fargo resulted in investor losses totaling $37,062.79. While Wells Fargo denied this complaint, it’s important to understand that a denial doesn’t necessarily mean the complaint lacks merit. Investors retain the right to pursue other legal remedies, including FINRA arbitration.
Pattern of Corporate Bond Investment Issues
What’s particularly concerning is that this isn’t the first time Christy Lambert has faced allegations regarding corporate bond investments. A previous complaint filed in 2009 while she was with Fifth Third Securities alleged misrepresentation of a corporate bond investment. That case resulted in a $37,000 settlement in 2010.
| Year | Firm | Allegation | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Wells Fargo | Corporate Bond Loss | Denied ($37,062.79 alleged) |
| 2009 | Fifth Third Securities | Corporate Bond Misrepresentation | Settled for $37,000 |
