Top 6 Reasons You Should Consider Hiring a Colorado Licensed Securities and Investment Fraud Lawyer
Before you hire an attorney to help you with an investment fraud issue in Colorado, ask the lawyer a simple question: are you licensed in Colorado? Here’s why working with a Colorado-licensed investment fraud attorney matters.
If you’ve suffered investment losses due to broker misconduct, unsuitable recommendations, or outright fraud, hiring a securities attorney licensed in Colorado can make a meaningful difference. Aaron Israels is the founding partner of Israels & Neuman, PLC. We’ve helped Colorado investors navigate these challenges under both state and federal law.
1. Comprehensive Knowledge of Colorado Securities Law
Colorado has its own investor protection statute, the Colorado Securities Act, codified at Colo. Rev. Stat. §§ 11-51-101 et seq. This law prohibits fraudulent practices in the sale of securities and provides civil remedies for investors who’ve been harmed.
In addition, the Colorado Securities Commissioner’s Rules—found at 3 CCR 704-1—lay out detailed regulatory standards for brokers, investment advisers, and other securities professionals operating in the state. These rules serve as a crucial enforcement tool and offer additional grounds for investor claims.
We are well-versed in both the Act and the administrative rules, and we leverage that knowledge to build the strongest possible case for recovery. We are also familiar with case law related to arbitration claims and know how it can help bolster your claims.
2. Denver and Statewide Representation
Israels & Neuman has an office located in Denver, providing accessible, local representation. Whether your case involves an in-person mediation, arbitration, or court proceeding, our physical presence in Colorado allows us to act quickly and efficiently on your behalf.
3. Experienced in FINRA Arbitration AND Court
Most investment fraud disputes are handled through FINRA arbitration, not in court. We’ve represented clients dozens of Colorado investors in arbitration proceedings, and we understand how to pursue claims based on violations of both state law and FINRA regulations.
While many claims involved involve related court actions. Colorado investors may need to resort to courts to:
– Compel arbitration through the courts,
– Challenge a motions to enjoin, or
– Confirm or vacate a FINRA arbitration award once it’s issued.
Aaron Israels can assist with all court proceedings as well.
4. Licensed Since 2010 – With Strong Local Ties
Attorney Aaron Israels has been licensed to practice law in Colorado since 2010. In addition to working here professionally, Aaron lived in Colorado for 14 years and maintains a deep connection to the local community. His understanding of Colorado’s legal landscape is rooted in both experience and longstanding personal ties.

6. Licensed Here. Actually Here.
A word of caution: Some law firms advertise offices in Colorado but are not actually licensed to practice law here. They may refer cases elsewhere or operate remotely without true ties to the state.
