Bob Gonser negotiated over $2 million in settlements. Our firm was retained by several employees of a major technology company who were solicited by a broker with a national brokerage firm to exercise thousands of incentive stock options of a high profile technology company on margin. The subsequent decline of the major technology company’s stock resulted in millions of dollars in damages, from the decline of the stock, margin interest, and commissions. In many instances, the broker took discretion in the accounts without written authorization and transacted numerous unauthorized trades resulting in additional losses.
