- "I had spoken to a local attorney about my investment losses and he didn't know how to help me, so he referred me to David Meyer. David and his staff were not only professional, but they were also really congenial and pleasant to speak with. ..."S.T., Canton, Ohio
- "I was referred to Meyer Wilson to file an arbitration claim against my former brokerage firm. Mr. Meyer and his associates and staff were great to work with.

Unauthorized Trading
In most cases, unless an investor has granted a broker written authorization to make transactions on his or her behalf without prior approval, the broker must obtain permission from the investor prior to executing any orders. A broker who buys or sells securities in an investor's account without the prior consent of the investor has engaged in unauthorized trading unless the broker has "discretionary trading authority" through a written power of attorney.Even in cases where an investor has granted a broker written authorization to make transactions on the investor's behalf at the discretion of the broker, the broker cannot misuse or exceed that authority by making commissions on unsuitable trades or trades the broker was not authorized to make. To do either is a violation of the broker's duty to the investor and subjects the broker to liability for unauthorized trading.
