Legal Question in Investment Law in Utah

I was invested in a company that underwent restructuring in 2010. This caused my stock to soar however when an attempt to sell my shares was made I was told that I could not sell until the restructuring process was over, however I still noticed stock action was taking place in shares sold and bought. When the process was over the company had done an extreme reverse stock split virtually leaving my shares worth only pennies. I understand that because of the age of these transactions nothing can probably be done but my question is was it legal for me to be barred by my brokerage agency in completing a trade during this time? The company is GBOE and I still have communications with my brokerage agency that took place during this time.
