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

What You Need to Know About Unauthorized Trading Claims

When it comes to unauthorized trading claims, you have to show the following:
• The unauthorized transactions took place
• You did not grant your broker prior permission to make these trades

Unauthorized trading cases are generally handled in mandatory securities arbitration before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). That means your case will most likely not be taken to court.
