Client Reviews

"I was very pleased with Mr. Meyer’s handing of my arbitration claim. Throughout the process, I felt that I was treated with respect and I always appreciated the extra effort David Meyer and his staff put forth to recover the money my stockbroker had lost. They did a tremendous job and when it was over, David was able to get back a lot more money for me than I ever expected. I have kept the firm’s number handy and would tell anyone that has been a victim of stockbroker misconduct to contact Meyer Wilson." C.F., Ohio
"Thankfully, we hired the law firm of Meyer Wilson - they skillfully guided us through the NASD (now FINRA) arbitration process and achieved an outstanding recovery for us. We do not know what we would have done without their help..."Mr. and Mrs. R.Springfield, Ohio
"Mr. Meyer and his staff was always professional and responsive to my calls and they really took their time with me to review paperwork and make sure that I remained well informed throughout the process. I feel like Mr. Meyer not only helped me to recover my investment losses, but he also helped me to get justice for my late husband..." J.S., Ohio

3 Common Types of Ohio Securities Fraud

When it comes to securities fraud, scam artists are skilled at their craft and know what to do and say to encourage individuals to invest their money. If you believe that you have lost money due to securities fraud, you need to become familiar with this term, as well as the common types of fraud.

“Securities fraud” is a general term for any unethical or illegal act by brokers or investment firms that violates securities laws. While there are many different types of securities fraud, the result of these actions is often the same: the victims lose their money.   Three common types of Ohio securities fraud include the following:

Ponzi Schemes: This tactic, named for 1920's con artist Charles Ponzi, is perhaps more alive and well now than any time since. The Ponzi scheme fraudulently pays returns to older investors with money from new investors, essentially shuffling funds back and forth instead of building wealth. Eventually, the whole scheme collapses.
Misrepresentation of Information: Investment fraud involving misrepresentation or omission occurs when risk factors associated with a particular investment are not fully disclosed to the customer. When brokers or investment advisors misrepresent information regarding investments, individuals cannot make truly informed decisions about their money.
Falsifying Documents: Distributing false or incomplete documents is illegal and can lead to financial loss. Just like misrepresenting information, when a scam artist distributes false documents, investors are not able to make educated decisions and therefore risk losing their money.
