Why You Should Hire an Arizona Licensed Investment Fraud Lawyer
If you’ve been the victim of investment fraud in Arizona, it’s important to work with a lawyer who is not only experienced in securities law, but also licensed and active in your home state. At Israels & Neuman, PLC, we represent investors nationwide, but our Arizona office in Phoenix and local licensure allow us to offer personal, knowledgeable service to clients across the state.
Aaron Israels has been licensed to practice law in Arizona since 2017 and regularly represents Arizona investors in cases involving unsuitable investments, unauthorized trading, Ponzi schemes, and broker misconduct.
Here’s why hiring a local Arizona securities fraud lawyer can make all the difference in your case:
Familiarity with the Arizona Securities Act
Arizona enforces its own securities laws under the Arizona Securities Act (A.R.S. § 44-1801 et seq.), which governs how securities are offered, sold, and regulated in the state. These laws include strong investor protections, especially in cases of fraud, omissions, or the sale of unregistered investments. Arizona also has very unique contract laws, which could set traps for attorneys who are not familiar with these types of laws. Likewise, certain Arizona case law is very favorable to investors in arbitration cases, but non-licensed attorneys may not understand why.
An experienced investment fraud lawyer licensed in Arizona will understand how these statutes are interpreted by local courts and regulators — including the Arizona Corporation Commission’s Securities Division, which enforces Arizona’s securities laws. Being licenced to practice law in the state of Arizona, we also understand how the Arizona Securities Act intersects with the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act (A.R.S. § 44-1521 et seq.) and how it applies to Arizona investors.
Qualified to Represent You in Both Arbitration and Court
Most investment fraud claims are resolved through FINRA arbitration, but many involve related court actions. Arizona investors may need to:
- Compel arbitration through the courts
- Challenge a motion to dismiss or compel
- Confirm or vacate a FINRA arbitration award once it’s issued
Only an attorney licensed in Arizona can handle these proceedings in state court without the need to associate local counsel — giving you a seamless, cost-effective representation throughout the process. Aaron Israels is admitted to practice before the Federal District of Arizona, in addition to being authorized to practice in state courts.
Experience with Arizona Investors and Financial Advisors
Arizona’s investor landscape includes many retirees, professionals, and small business owners — all of whom are common targets for aggressive or unscrupulous financial advisors. We’ve seen a wide range of misconduct involving alternative investments, structured products, REITs, annuities, and more.
We understand the types of cases and brokerage firms that commonly affect Arizona investors and have experience holding those firms accountable.
Local Office in Phoenix and Statewide Availability
We maintain a satellite office in Phoenix, Arizona. While we live out of state, Aaron has family in Arizona and is always happy to travel to meet with clients who would like an in-person meeting.
