FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Law Firm of David R. Chase, P.A., headed by a former SEC Prosecutor, announces its investigation of the sales practices utilized by LPL Financial in connection with its recommendations of non-traded REITS, including Inland America and Cole Credit Property, to its retail customers.

Just recently, the Massachusetts Securities Division filed a complaint against LPL Financial charging it with fraudulent business practices arising out of its sales of various non-traded real estate investment trusts to its Massachusetts customers.
