Attorney Jason Martinez was absolutely fantastic to me and my family throughout my case. He always considered my bottom dollar throughout the duration of the case and the entire staff was always able to help with whatever questions I had. Attorney Martinez not only “won” my case but assured me and walked me through the entirety of it. I’d recommend this office for ANY and ALL family law needs. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than with these great folks. 15/10 would recommend for anyone else. My case took years to wrap up and there was never a moment I felt that my wants/needs/voice was going unheard. Definitely the best legal service I’ve ever had!

I cannot express enough gratitude for RM Law Group for guiding my family and me through a challenging two-year custody battle. Their dedication and expertise were evident from day one. While we didn't get everything we asked the courts for, RM Law Group ensured we secured the most critical aspects that truly mattered to us.
The team was always professional, empathetic, and responsive, making a stressful situation much more manageable. Their ability to navigate the complexities of our case and their unwavering support gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the process.
Thank you, RM Law Group, for your hard work, persistence, and for fighting for the best possible outcome for our family. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate legal team.

Jason Martinez and the whole group were amazing. I had a very complicated custody case and they all made feel supported every step of the way. The cost was very reasonable, they all had great communication and more than anything showed me great kindness during a difficult time.

Mr Lavin and Christie Doss were instrumental in helping my mother work through the complicated process of obtaining Medicaid. We definitely could not have done it anywhere as quickly as they did and the money we saved more than made up for the expense.

Mr. Lavin and his staff worked with my family to get Medicaid benefits, and drafted all necessary legal documents for my Aunt. We are grateful for the hard work and organizational skills of the entire Lavin Law Group. Mr. Lavin’s knowledge and experience is evident. We had the pleasure of working with Wes Hensley, who did an amazing job at keeping us on track and getting us through the Medicaid process for my Aunt. We would certainly use this firm again and will refer family and friends in the future.

Mr. Lavin has not only worked with my husband and I to put together a family trust but about four years ago he helped us with the finances of Grandma. The Lavin Law Group treats clients with utmost care and strives to give professional and productive options to family concerns. Wes Hensley, as Director of Operations and Public Relations, at the firm, makes sure from start to finish that your experience is a smooth one.
It was important to my husband and I to have a legal expert in the area of Elder Law. Chris Lavin is thoughtful and a wonderful listener. He is a man and a lawyer that you can trust with your most sensitive family information. It is a pleasure to recommend Christopher Lavin to you.

I would strongly recommend Dave Albo. He was extremely professional and walked me through the various options that we could pursue. Ultimately Dave was able to help me navigate the process without any stress, and it was a very successful outcome.

For anyone like myself who found himself caught in the DWI system, let me share a two-word answer: Dave Albo! He is a meticulous professional who immediately stood out from the other attorneys I checked out. Dave is unique as a DWI lawyer because he handles only one client per day, so he is focused on your case and your case alone. He is also relentless when looking at all the evidence. In my case, Dave was able to get both charges dropped from my case, and I walked away with a simple reckless driving charge. His fee was one of the best investments I have ever made.

Got hit by a drunk driver. I think God kept me from dying. While in the emergency room I instinctively asked my wife to call a lawyer. She contacted Andrew the next day.
I was in the hospital about two weeks and after that out of work a good bit.
My health insurance paid the bills, but they kindly told me that they expected to be paid back by the auto insurance and I was glad that Andrew was able to take care of that for me. About a year after the accident Andrew presented me with a rather large check, which made me quite happy.
If this kind of thing happens to you the most important thing to do is always get medical treatment and always follow the doctor’s instructions. Keep track of all the money and time you spend getting medical treatment and let Andrew know how you feel.
Overall, I’m very glad to have met Andrew and I’m grateful to my wife for choosing him

When we first bought the 2015 Nissan Murano , we thought this was our last car . Unfortunately we started having trouble with the Forward Collission Avoidance System , which defeated the Cruise Control . After many , many attempts to have this repaired , we contacted O'Connor Law Group . We had experience with them on a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe , which we used the Lemon Law to return it . O'Connor Law Group advised us on what to do with the Hyundai and said if they gave us trouble , then call them and they would take our case . This was not the case with Nissan . They had us going in circles and did everything they could to deter us in our endeavors . O'Connor Law Group took over and we worked with them dilligently . After many hurdles we perservered and won our case . David and his team are the best , getting us every dollar due . I can't thank them enough for their hard work . If you ever need a great Lemon Law Attourney they are the best . I would not hesitate to call on them again if I need to . Sincerely , Lou Paltza .

I will ALWAYS highly recommend O'Connor Law group to anyone that is dealing with a lemon car! A brand new car I bought came with countless issues and recalls. It was very difficult for me to deal with the car company directly so I decided to file my car for lemon law. I am so thankful that I found O'Connor Law group online as they made the process very smooth and transparent! The case is now resolved thanks to O'Connor Law Group!

Mark O'Connor and his team handled a very difficult case for me. I asked Toyota twice to take my 2018 Highlander back under the Lemon Law. It was declined twice. Even though there wasn't much precedent regarding my issues, Mark and his team went to work. They found all sorts of technical history to support my case. That, coupled with the expert he retained to assess and record the irregularities of the car, carried the day. Toyota had to buy the car back and pay me a substantial sum of money. Thank you Mark & team!

Over four years ago I was having a difficult time with the initial firm that was handling my worker's compensation case. A friend recommended the services of Mr. Kendall Medway at Levinson Axelrod and I could not be anymore pleased with the experience of working with Mr. Medway.
Mr. Medway's expertise and persistence is truly something to be admired. He kept me fully informed and up-to-date every step of the way and was immediately available to help with any question or concern that I may have had. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mr. Medway and Levinson Axelrod.

I got injured at my job in April 2022, after which my employer started treating me unfairly-- the employer didn't even allow me to see an actual doctor until almost a year after the injury occurred. I was misdiagnosed by their urgent care reps and by a therapist who told me I was basically faking the injury and gave me physical therapy exercises that caused me more pain.
I reached out to a number of lawyers who dismissed me, until I came across Mr. Kendall Medway. From the day I walked into his office he reassured me that he would do all that he could to help me. As far as I am aware, he did just that. Mr. Medway led me through the workers compensation process, which took nearly two years. We reached a settlement in February 2024. I am satisfied with the outcome and that I chose Levinson Axelrod for my workers compensation claim.

Matthew Albanese was exceptionally kind, thorough and timely. He thought of things i/we had not considered and gave viable options and alternatives. Matthew offered solid reasons for the advice he gave and explained it in a way my mother and I understood. He walked us through the process step by step. I found everyone at the law firm very friendly and easy to deal with. If you are ever in the need of an attorney that handles elder law call Matthew. He was absolutely wonderful!

From our initial consultation,,I found Matthew Albanese to be caring and considerate in assisting me to set up my will, trust, durable power of attorney and special needs trust for my adult handicapped son, Arthur.
When the time came to see my condo and purchase a home, I did not hesitate to contact Matt again, He worked tirelessly, through three potential buyers and a difficult bank experience but due to his efforts all worked out to a successful conclusion, I would not hesitate to hire this great attorney for any of your legal needs.

Attorney Albanese was a very caring and efficient attorney who helped my mother through her estate planning needs. He finished her documents in a timely manner and was very good about getting back to us on time with any questions we had. I would recommend Attorney Albanese to anyone who had any estate planning needs.

Drinkwater & Goldstein demonstrates exceptional responsiveness, promptly returning all calls and maintaining punctual appointments. Their staff is not only efficient but also friendly.
What distinguishes them from other firms is their commitment to exceeding the typical scope of services. When they represent you, the attorneys go the extra mile, providing value that surpasses the cost.
A lawyer must possess not only a comprehensive understanding of the law but also excellent detective skills. It involves delving into every nuance of analogous cases, conducting thorough investigations, and unearthing precedents relevant to the legal matter at hand.
This law firm extensively searches for specialists in the relevant field of each case, ensuring comprehensive coverage for their clients.
Just like when my dog needed an X-ray at a local vet who although had an xray machine they did not employ a radiologist, my vet sent it to a specialist. Despite not charging extra, this expert radiologist identified issues the local vet could not read revealing our dog had a tumor with limited time left. Thanks to this expertise, we now have a clear course of action and will proceed accordingly.
That's the level of service you receive with Drinkwater & Goldstein. Their expert opinions and collaborative approach ensure informed decisions for their clients so you can “proceed accordingly”. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I had an urgent legal matter that needed immediate attention. Without any delay whatsoever, on the day of the issue arising, Russ was able to strategize on the correct actions providing multiple options, and we selected the optimal strategy moving forward in order to deal with the problem. The turnaround was astounding, impressive, and much needed.
The issue was resolved the same day, and the immediate connection and ability to speak directly greatly helped everything within the process.
Unlike other law firms that you have to work through an army of admin assistants, working with Russ was easy, fast, and I received expert-level resolution without any back and forth or time wasted.
I always prefer working directly with the experts due to efficiency and getting the right answers instead of wasting time or any miscommunication and Russ's law practice was able to to resolve my issue efficiently and exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Russ, for all your support and expertise!

I was terminated by my employer and I thought I had a case. I was either ignored or turned away because of "conflicts of interest." Russell came by way of a referral from a Labor Rights website and I am so grateful. He really looked into my case and listened to me. When Russ believes in something, he's passionate about it. I don't know anything about law and he made sure to explain each phase and had multiple courses of actions so I always knew all my options and was fully involved in each decision. At first, I was so worried. My employer had a team of legal professionals and a lot of money to pour into litigation and I definitely do not. Russ was a one man army and handled each interaction with tact and grace. In the end, we won the claim and I know it was all due to 2 things; the truth and Russ. I will continue to recommend anyone having any issues with current or former employers to Russ.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for all your patience and mental fortitude!

I came to Mr. Kaleel after losing an BBB arbitration case against Ford for our brand new F150 King Ranch truck. I had the truck in the shop multiple times and finally filed for the Lemon Law and followed all the appropriate steps to take the vehicle to the BBB arbitration for a repurchase. Even though the problem with the vehicle continued to exist, the arbitrator failed to award the repurchase. I rejected the decision and started looking for representation. I called many law offices and most everyone wanted to pursue Ford with a warranty claim. Mr. Kaleel was the only one I found willing to pursue the claim to arbitration under the Lemon Law.
I hired him and he took the time to go over all the accumulated documents up to that point, and he was extremely helpful and thorough as he gathered the necessary information to win the case. He could not believe that the arbitrator from the BBB did not award the buyback and was confident that we would get the repurchase from the Attorney General Arbitration Board.
He soon drafted a letter to Ford and the Attorney General Lemon Law office with the intent to move forward with the arbitration. We immediately got a response from Ford that they would repurchase our vehicle! After a few weeks of dealing with Ford's counsel, which we found very difficult, Mr. Kaleel was able to negotiate an amazing deal that we were very happy with. Ford, although they didn't have to, payed most of the Attorney's fees as well!
Although I wish I could have avoided the entire Lemon Law experience, I would not hire anyone else to go up against a giant company like Ford. Mr. Kaleel did an excellent job and it was an outstanding win! I highly recommend his services if you are in a similar situation.

I was terminated by my employer and I thought I had a case. I was either ignored or turned away because of "conflicts of interest." Russell came by way of a referral from a Labor Rights website and I am so grateful. He really looked into my case and listened to me. When Russ believes in something, he's passionate about it. I don't know anything about law and he made sure to explain each phase and had multiple courses of actions so I always knew all my options and was fully involved in each decision. At first, I was so worried. My employer had a team of legal professionals and a lot of money to pour into litigation and I definitely do not. Russ was a one man army and handled each interaction with tact and grace. In the end, we won the claim and I know it was all due to 2 things; the truth and Russ. I will continue to recommend anyone having any issues with current or former employers to Russ.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for all your patience and mental fortitude!

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You
A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.
Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.
When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:
- Fraud or deceptive business practices: If a company misled you into purchasing a product or service under false pretenses, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.
- Defective products: If you purchased a product that was unsafe or defective and caused harm, a lawyer can help you file a product liability claim.
- False advertising or unfair pricing: A lawyer can assist if you were misled by deceptive advertising or charged for services or products in a way that violates consumer laws.
- Debt collection harassment: If you're being harassed by debt collectors or are facing illegal debt collection practices, a consumer protection lawyer can enforce your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
- Credit report issues: If errors on your credit report are affecting your financial standing, a lawyer can help you resolve disputes with credit reporting agencies or creditors under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
- Predatory lending practices: If you've been subjected to unfair loan terms or practices by payday lenders or mortgage companies, a lawyer can help you challenge the loan and seek a resolution.
- Data breaches or identity theft: If your personal information was compromised due to a company’s failure to protect your data, a lawyer can help you recover damages related to the breach.
What Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Do?
A consumer protection lawyer provides a wide range of services to help protect consumers' rights and seek compensation for harms caused by businesses. Their role may include:
- Filing lawsuits: Representing clients in lawsuits against businesses that have violated consumer protection laws, whether through fraud, deceptive practices, or negligence.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with businesses or their insurers to negotiate fair compensation for damages caused by unfair practices or defective products.
- Pursuing class action lawsuits: When a company harms multiple consumers, a lawyer can represent a group of plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit, seeking collective damages.
- Advising on consumer rights: Helping clients understand their rights under various consumer protection laws and advising on the best course of action.
- Handling product liability claims: Representing clients who have been injured by defective products and holding manufacturers or retailers accountable for the harm caused.
- Defending against debt collection harassment: Enforcing the rights of consumers under the FDCPA and other laws that protect individuals from abusive or unlawful debt collection tactics.
- Resolving credit report disputes: Helping clients correct errors on their credit reports that may be causing financial harm or affecting their creditworthiness.
How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?
Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
- Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
- Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a consumer protection lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal service required. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee cases: For cases handled on a contingency basis, the lawyer typically takes between 25% and 40% of any settlement or damages awarded.
- Hourly rates: Hourly rates for consumer protection lawyers generally range from $150 to $500, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases involving complex legal issues.
- Flat fees: For specific services like contract reviews or handling a small claims case, flat fees may range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the scope of work.
- Class actions: In class action cases, fees are often paid out of the settlement or damages awarded, and individual plaintiffs usually do not have to pay upfront.
Make sure to ask for a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to avoid surprises and to understand how much you can expect to pay.
Top Questions to Ask a Consumer Protection Lawyer
Before hiring a consumer protection lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and skills to handle your case effectively. Key questions include:
-
What experience do you have with consumer protection law?
Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases like yours, whether it involves product liability, fraud, or debt collection issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a contingency fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case. -
What is the likelihood of success for my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and what outcome you can reasonably expect. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Make sure the lawyer has experience dealing with similar legal issues, whether it’s credit report disputes, data breaches, or defective products. -
What is the timeline for resolving my case?
While it can be difficult to predict exact timelines, the lawyer should give you a general idea of how long your case may take to resolve. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Consumer Protection Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable consumer protection lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Check for experience in consumer protection: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to confirm they specialize in consumer protection law and have handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle consumer protection cases.
- Look for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to protecting consumer rights.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a consumer protection lawyer, come prepared with all relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Details of the product or service in question: Bring any purchase receipts, warranties, or contracts related to the product or service involved in your claim.
- Documentation of your complaint: Provide evidence of your complaint, such as email exchanges with the company, photos of a defective product, or a timeline of events related to the dispute.
- Communication with the business or debt collector: If you’ve communicated with the business or debt collector, bring copies of letters, emails, or phone logs.
