A Look at Former Broker Isaiah Williams Jr.'s BrokerCheck

Former Broker Isaiah Williams Jr. (CRD # 6211219) most recently was registered at Merrill Lynch, Peirce, Fenner, and Smith Inc., in Boca Raton, Florida. Williams Jr, has three customer disputes, one regulatory dispute, and one termination reported on his BrokerCheck.

For example, one pending customer dispute alleges unsuitable recommendations, and failure to act in the client's best interest. The dispute alleges damages of $3,500,000.00.

The regulatory disclosure reports  that Williams refused to provide information requested by FINRA in connection with its investigation of allegations made by his member firm in Form U4 and U5 filings.  The findings stated that the firm had filed a U4 amendment disclosing a customer complaint that alleged Williams engaged in misrepresentation and improper outside business activities (OBAs). As a result, FINRA barred Williams from the securities industry.

The termination notice states that Williams was terminated in 2024 for misappropriation, unsuitable asset allocation, misrepresentation and improper outside business activities.

Testimonials

I am grateful to have found an outstanding law firm that specializes in securities matters. My lawyers were extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and are skilled litigators. No stone was left upturned. As a result of their experience and tenacity, the arbitration proceeding was dismissed in my favor.

Marci M.

I just wanted to say thanks again for preparing and executing my case in such a professional manner. It was a pleasure to watch two professionals take such pride in their work, as well as becoming personally in tune with your client (Me). I would personally recommend you and your firm to anyone.

Jim, Stephany and the whole team were a God send.  We felt like we were put into a situation where we had no advocate. Jim's team came in with a strong, well laid out strategy on how to get our story heard. Where our outside compliance company had no ability to help, our Broker Dealer was impenitent, and the regulators were aggressive pursuing vague rules, Jim came like a barricade against an assault we did not understand. Though you pay member dues to be affiliated with FINRA and a B/D, you have no voice. The only thing that is truly heard in this un-level playing field is a bulldog's bark like Jim's. I would encourage anyone to call Jim and his team to find a real ally in the tough and complicated world of securities regulation. They are truly the best.

He is skilled in the matters necessary to do the job well. He uses his thoughtful approach and calm demeanor to achieve a positive outcome for the client. If you want to feel confident that nothing will be missed and that you will be represented in a highly professional manner, call Jim Eccleston.

Bill C. and Dan M.

Thank You from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for us. When we realized this was a very bad investment - we did not know where to turn for help. Then we received your name. When we called you - you were so kind to us and then agreed to help us. For this we are so very grateful. The world would be a much nicer place if there were more people like the two of you in it. We will always remember all the help and kindness you have shown us. Thank you so very very much for everything.
