His practice includes public entity defense, employment matters, insurance issues, product liability, complex tort and casualty claims, and commercial and business litigation. He works on disputes that can involve government entities, companies, insurers, and other parties facing significant civil claims. His practice is grounded in litigation strategy, legal research, written advocacy, and case preparation across several defense-focused areas.

Aizu earned a J.D. from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University in 2025. He received a B.A. in English from Northern Arizona University in 2020, along with a certificate in rhetoric and a minor in criminology and criminal justice. His academic training in legal analysis, writing, rhetoric, and criminal justice supports a practice that requires clear advocacy and careful evaluation of complex factual and legal issues.

Aizu’s work spans several forms of civil defense, including claims involving public entities, products, employment relationships, insurance, and commercial disputes. These matters require him to analyze pleadings, research controlling law, develop case strategy, and prepare written arguments for litigation. His practice also places him in matters involving complex tort and casualty issues, where liability questions can overlap with business, regulatory, employment, or insurance concerns and require disciplined case management.

Andrew Aizu is admitted to practice in Arizona and continues to build a broad civil litigation practice in Phoenix. His combination of public entity defense and other defense-oriented work gives him experience across disputes involving governmental, commercial, employment, insurance, and product-related issues. By focusing on careful legal analysis and practical litigation preparation, he supports clients confronting contested claims in state-based civil matters and helps advance cases through the major stages of dispute resolution.
