According to the BrokerCheck report for Justin Michael Gross, he was discharged by Edward Jones on June 24, 2026. The stated reason was concerns over adherence to Edward Jones’s signature policy. While no specific investment products were listed in this disclosure, the incident raises important questions about proper account management, execution of transactions, and documentation.

Understanding the Regulatory Landscape: FINRA and Regulation Best Interest
Two critical regulatory rules apply when evaluating the conduct of financial professionals:
- FINRA Rule 2010 (Standards of Commercial Honor and Principles of Trade): Requires all registered individuals to operate with high standards of honor, integrity, and fair principles of trade. Disregarding firm policies, such as signature protocols, can violate these standards and raise red flags regarding other aspects of conduct.
- FINRA Rule 3110 (Supervision): Requires broker-dealers to establish and maintain effective supervisory controls and written procedures to ensure legal compliance. When an advisor is terminated for policy concerns, it raises questions about possible gaps in supervision and overall firm responsibility.
At a broader level, Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI) requires broker-dealers and advisors to put your interests first when making recommendations. Reg BI goes beyond the old suitability standard by focusing on:
- Clear disclosure of conflicts, fees, and services;
- Diligent and skillful analysis of costs, risks, and available alternatives;
- Disclosure and mitigation of conflicts of interest;
- Strong compliance systems to support those protections.
If you lost money or received recommendations that did not truly put your interests first while working with Justin Gross, even absent a formal complaint, our attorneys can help assess possible recovery avenues using industry best practices and legal claims.
