Meyer Wilson Werning is proud to share that David P. Meyer, founder and managing principal of our firm, has again been selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America®. In its 33rd edition, David was recognized across three distinct practice areas, a breadth of selection that speaks to the scope of a career spent at the front lines of investor protection.
Three Areas of Recognition
Each year, Best Lawyers® compiles peer-reviewed rankings of leading attorneys based on the votes of their peers in the legal community. In the 2027 edition, David was honored for his outstanding work in:
- Litigation – Securities
- Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions – Plaintiffs
- Professional Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs
His recognition spans three distinct but connected disciplines, reflecting the full range of David’s practice and the depth of respect his peers hold for his work across each of them. “Recognition like this is meaningful,” David said, “but it’s never really about the list.”
What it is about, for him, is the record behind it. “The work we’ve done for retirees who lost their life savings, and for families who trusted the wrong financial advisor, has been seen and respected by other lawyers who understand what these cases require. That’s the part I don’t take for granted.”
He is recognized in Columbus, Ohio, where Meyer Wilson Werning is headquartered and where David built one of the country’s most respected investor protection practices from the ground up.

A Career That Keeps Earning Its Recognition
Consistent selection by Best Lawyers® is not automatic. It reflects the ongoing judgment of peers, renewed each year based on the work being done right now. For David, that work continues at the same intensity it always has.
Over more than 25 years, David has led Meyer Wilson Werning to recover more than $350 million for individual investors, retirees, and fraud victims nationwide. His landmark result remains the $262 million class action jury verdict against Prudential Securities, which was the largest civil jury verdict in Ohio history at the time of the verdict, won on behalf of 200 retirees. He filed that case at age 29 and tried it at 32.
In the years since, David has served as President of the Public Investors Advocate Bar Association (PIABA), the national association of lawyers who represent individual investors in cases of financial advisor misconduct, and as President of the Ohio Association for Justice. He is the author of The Investor Protector, an Amazon No. 1 Bestseller that equips everyday investors with practical tools to recognize and fight back against financial advisor misconduct.
His work beyond the courtroom continues as well. In the past year, David has spoken on financial fraud around the country, including to the Ohio State Bar Association, the Alabama Association for Justice, and the Oklahoma Association for Justice, and appeared in various forms of national media discussing investment scams.
