How Can a Lawyer Help Me?
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:
- Arizona Securities Act ”“ Governs the sale or offer for sale of securities within or from Arizona
- Arizona Securities Division ”“ Overseas and investigates actions dealing with fraudulent securities committed by securities dealers, investment advisors and their representatives
- Consumer Protection Division ”“ Protects consumers from any deception, unfair act or practice, false statement or misrepresentation as authorized by the Arizona Attorney General
We have handled a variety of financial investments, such as structure projects, hedge funds, mortgage backed securities, partnerships and more. Our lawyers have extensive trial experience both inside and outside the courtroom. Founding partner Jeffrey Phillips has been lead counsel in over 40 jury trails.
Securities Litigation Cases Handled By Phillips Law Group
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:
Breach of Fiduciary Duties
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.
Broker Negligence
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.
Churning
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.
Failure to Supervise
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.
Insider Trading
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.
Investment Fraud
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.
Market Manipulation
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.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.
Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group.

Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...
