With a greater global access to financial markets, the buying and selling of stocks, bonds, and commodities has resulted in a fast changing environment. Unfortunately, this change has also made it possible for investors to lose a tremendous amount of money in a very short time.
Our litigation lawyers regularly manage claims brought against brokers, financial advisors and broker-dealers, not just in federal and state courts, but also through Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and in conjunction with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). FINRA oversees and regulates all broker-dealers in the U.S. while the SEC creates and enforces securities laws.
Other investor protections available in the state include:
We have handled a variety of financial investments, such as structure projects, hedge funds, mortgage backed securities, partnerships and more.

Our qualified Prescott securities litigation attorneys at Phillips Law Group are prepared to handle all types of securities litigation cases, including but not limited to:
A fiduciary duty is an obligation to act in the best interests of the investor. This means acting in good faith, fair dealing and full disclosure. It is the highest duty imposed by the legal system. A breach of fiduciary duties could include self-dealing, embezzlement of funds, failure to disclose and misuse of superior knowledge.
Brokers must conduct themselves within the legal standards established to protect investors from an unreasonable risk of harm. When a broker is negligent in his or her dealings with an investor, then the investor may be able to pursue a legal claim against that broker.
This occurs when a broker excessively buys or trades in an investor’s account to try to generate commissions. The investor must prove that the broker exercised control over the decision-making in the account, the selling or trading was excessive, and the broker recklessly disregarded the investor’s interests.
Brokerage firms have the obligation of adequately supervising the activities of their brokers to ensure that they are following the policies and procedures in place. Transactions reviews must be consistently performed to determine whether the transactions are in compliance with the investor’s objectives. A firm that does not investigate any wrongdoings or allows it to take place could result in being liable for failure to supervise.
This is the trading of a company’s stocks or other securities by a broker or financial institution with access to confidential or non-public knowledge about the company. This could include brokers tipping off others about this non-disclosed information to try and influence a company’s publicly-traded stock price.
This generally refers to a wide range of deceptive practices used to scheme or deceive investors when making investing decisions. Such practices could include lying or providing misleading information as well as non-existent investment opportunities. Some types of investment fraud include pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes.
This occurs when a broker or financial institution deliberately attempts to inflate or deflate the price of a security or otherwise influence the behavior of the market for personal gain. A broker may spread false information about a security to an investor in order to encourage them to purchase it and drive up the price. Once the price of the security is high, the broker will cash out his or her shares for a considerable profit.
