We highly recommend Baltuch Elder Law. During a very sad time in our family’s lives, he gently shepherded us through the estate reconciliation process. Mr. Baltuch answered our questions and explained complex concepts in layman’s terms that were easy to understand. With great professionalism, he provided excellent service and quick responses to bring the process to a successful conclusion.

Daniel Baltuch is a sensitive and knowledgable source of information and counsel. Daniel helped to edit a care agreement written by my father's attorney to cover my taking care of him. Daniel is quick to establish rapport, a good communicator, a quick study, and he stays on point. We efficiently clarified the situation, made a plan, and contracted for my agreement with him. Daniel returned his deliverable within 6 hours, accompanied with verbal explanation. Daniel was attentive to time spent to protect my spending. I am grateful to have found him.

I just had a 15 minute phone consultation with attorney Balduch on the subject of my parents' Elder Care planning. I found the name on AVVO and, because of the time sensitivity, decided to call right away. He insisted that a phone consultation is free, but gave me a LOT of very helpful advice. Our situation is intricate, and I felt listened to and understood throughout the entire phone call. Thank you very much!

Great firm. They represent me on my will, trusts, business, etc. They have always been good with me. They care. My primary attorney is William Harbison, one of the partners, and he is a great guy. I'm very fortunate to have found him and this firm. Plus, he knows many people in other areas, that he can recommend. I found my accountant through him. I enjoy working with him and others at this firm. They care about their clients.

"I hired John as outside and general counsel for a nationwide company I founded and managed, successfully defending the interests in lawsuits, a federal matter, intellectual property rights, drafting/enforcing contracts, insuring regulatory compliance, legal litigation, strategic advice and all other legal needs. I unequivocally highly recommend John as a masterful trial and transitional lawyer as well as an excellent counselor and legal adviser.

Well, I can’t say that I was ever in the courtroom with John… because he kept us out of the court house. His thorough work on contracts, imaginative problem-solving abilities in bringing a deal to closure, his sage advice as to how to approach business challenges all represented talent and skill that are critical in making successful, profitable transactions happen. Always working with the highest level of integrity, he is also a person you just enjoy being around.

I have worked with John Price for over twenty years. He has handled my legal needs for a small business start up as well as a multinational corporation. My experience with John has been that he consistently delivers at a high level. He has drafted our operating business contracts as well as provided legal guidance regarding federal agency requirements . His approach is 360 degrees - If you want to make sure you are addressing legal items today with an eye on the the future you will find no better.

I really appreciate how responsive and available Mac was when I texted with questions. He was patient with my anger about my situation, and empathetic. He is open, but does not exaggerate or just tell you what you want to hear. He saw my case through to a successful conclusion. Compensation was agreed to up front, with no nickel-and-diming later. Dealing with Mac is how dealing with a lawyer should be.

I had the devine intervention of getting to know and receive legal advise. From the moment that I spoke with Mac MacKeand, he provided a sense of relief and peace of mind. This is what made it so easy to communicate with and easy to talk to. He always provided great feedback and trusted him blindly throughout the entire case progression. I would seek his legal advise in a heartbeat and would therefore highly recommend his services to anyone.

Mike Horgan made the closing of our house seamless. We were worried that Covid would cause issues. Mike and Maria handled everything for us and took the time to explain and walk us through anything we didn't understand. I can't say it loud enough....if you are buying/selling a house these are the people you want on your side.

Like many other families, we were faced with decisions that we really didn’t think we would need to make… my Dad’s dementia was deepening and my Mom, his Caretaker, was beginning to rapidly fail herself.
It came to the point I knew my Dad needed more care than what my Mom was capable of providing. It needed to be done quickly and correctly. Frankly, I was worried my Mom would pass before my Dad.
My parents are retired school-teachers. That means they are not rich, but they do have income. It certainly means they do not have the money for Nursing Home care that my Dad needs, and for that matter, my Mom needed for him to have.
I knew that trying to do the paper work and application for Medicaid was far beyond my ability and know-how. I recognized at that point we needed an Attorney to handle this for us.
I looked for a nearby attorney and found Richard Shea. This was one of the best decisions made in this difficult junction of our lives.
Richard reviewed everything carefully…. He answered questions timely… He worked as a partner with our family.
We are so grateful we hired him…it turns out that one of the accounts my mom had saved money through her job, would have been at risk if we had made the application first. Richard identified the situation and made suggestions on how to restructure it, which we did. While the amounts would not seem large to most people with an IRA or Pension, it was huge for my mom, and meant a lot to her monthly income. This one detail, more than paid for Richard’s fee.
My Dad is in a great facility. My Mom is able to relax and reclaim part of her life because she doesn’t have the heavy burden of caring for my father any longer. She can sleep at night and not have to worry if my Dad was going to get out of bed and turn on the stove and burn the house down! (He actually came close one time.) She is actually getting healthier. During her last check-up, her doctor told her he was pleased with her resurgent health.
I cannot recommend Richard enough. He is well worth his fee since he will fill out the paperwork and handle the application process and deal with the questions from the Examiner. These are details that are nerve racking enough, let alone during a stressful time.
If you are faced with these decisions, I recommend you hire Richard to handle the details. You have enough stress as it is, let him handle the part you that you are not an expert in handling. You will feel a lot better that you did.

Richard helped me when I did not know who to turn to. Like most of us, this was all new to me. I needed help for my wife. Called a couple of lawyers but they never replied. Saw Richard on internet and consulted him and got immediate response. Laid out all the pros and cons for me. I decided he knew what he was doing and hired him right away. We were miles apart but he guided me step by step on how to proceed. Thanks again for your help. Could not have done it without you.

I wish I could rate her more than 5-star as rating just 5 star is not enough for a person who is so dedicated to a profession, so caring for those in distress and above all for those who have been burnt previously by a class of greedy, money-hungry , unprofessional attorneys.
She is a Christian and a true Christian attorney who would spare no efforts to fight for you, disregarding amount of compensation she would get in the process.
I was so lucky that my good Karma prevailed and brought me to her to help me .
If one can judge an attorney by knowledge, experience, care , I think she is by far the best I have ever met in my 30 years of interaction by attorneys.
She greeted me right at the door-step of the building and even helped me carry heavy boxes of documents. She is so consistent, thorough , knowledgeable that I was amazed .
She listened to me for hours and immediately offered help . She took my most horrible case mismanaged by another so-called Board Certified Real Estate lawyer who had made a complete mess of the case.She has been calling me and sending me prepared documents disregarding the amount of compensation she has received.
She is an amazing attorney, out to helping someone in dire need without any objective but to bring smile on one’s face.
May Almighty shower all the blessings on her?

I could not find a better Attorney than Colleen McClure. She helped me get out of a very miserable situation that I almost lost hope of getting help. She’s kind , willing and open to listen to your entire story , easy to reach, loving and caring Attorney. She will always be my attorney. I wish her good health and long life as she continues to serve God’s people even above her career.
Thank you Colleen for the excellent and great work you’re doing. I will definitely recommend Colleen McClure to anyone who needs help with legal situation.

I went in for a free consultation and it was more than just a consultation she was very considerate and compassionate and really wanted to help and gave a lot more than just a free consultation she should have been paid for all the time she spent with me but it was free, in the end the only reason I didn't hire her was I did not have the affordable start-up fee she needed but when I can afford her and if I ever need an attorney for anything I will come to her always now!

Casandra has helped me with a case about a woman who has slandered, harassed and stalked me. Casandra has been so compassionate towards the circumstances I have gone through and kept her word above and beyond with my case. She is very prepared and listens well. She takes your case on with care and takes care of all the legal aspects and explains in detail laws that can be very confusing. She follows through always as she promises and never leaves a person in doubt when fighting for what is right. I have never once felt unprotected or lost in this process with Casandra as my advocate.

We hired Tim Tarter in regards to an IRS audit in 2009 - 2013. The IRS stated that we owed hundreds of thousands of dollars due to the fact that we were raising and training horses as a hobby. Tim Tarter helped us prove that our quarter horse ranch was not a hobby. Anyone having tax issues or audits should hire Tim Tarter. We would not have been able to settle our case without his expertise

He answered my email and later called and explained my options.

The phenomenal work that Brad performed for my case was well worth that first consultation visit. He made me feel like I was in good hands and that he had plenty of experience in my particular situation. I was handed a $160K levy by the IRS which I could not handle on my own. After researching many other tax law firms in San Diego, RJS Law was on the top of the list. Soon after speaking with Brad Paladini during my free consultation is when I knew that I could set my worries on this matter to the side as he immediately knew what steps to take to dispute the charges, as well as remedy the “miscommunication”, which eventually led to my current liability owed of $0. He handled all of the communication between the IRS and myself so that way nothing was lost in translation. I cannot thank Brad enough for his assistance. He was always available to answer my questions and was very professional throughout the entire time. Peace of mind is what I have now. I highly recommend Brad Paladini for tax representation.

To Anyone Seeking An Attorney:
This letter is a testimonial for attorney Ken Chyten from two very grateful clients. We would like to say at the start that we consider ourselves fortunate to have had Ken Chyten as our advocate. He is an exemplary attorney, and we give him our highest and most unqualified recommendation.
We are a married couple who were involved in very complex and highly contentious business litigation. From the outset, and during the entire course of the lawsuit, Ken showed a keen grasp of the legal issues. He kept us informed of everything as it transpired, and was accessible whenever we needed him, including evenings and weekends. Ken demonstrated an incomparable work ethic, and a phenomenal commitment to thorough preparation.
Ken was opposed in our case by a very large and prominent law firm. Ken responded with tenacity and brilliance, while always being composed, adroit, and confident. Ken’s litigation strategy was ingenious, and his implementation of that strategy was unparalleled. If Ken Chyten is your attorney, you can rest assured that if your case goes to trial, you will be going to trial with a thoroughly prepared advocate who will have thought through every aspect of the case, and who will have covered every last detail.
Ken’s billing is transparent and fair. Indeed, he has been generous and considerate in the extreme. He is a man of honor and integrity; a true man of his word. We have come through the crucible of litigation considering Ken to be not only a supremely competent, razor-sharp attorney, but a good friend as well.

Ken Chyten recently handled a breach of contract law suit for me. Unlike most other firms, Ken does not have big overhead costs that you get billed for. He handles the cases from start to finish with no duplicate charges for a paralegal, admin assistant, associate attorney etc. In my case, I was able to work in collaboration with Ken. He listened to and reviewed my concerns, my arguments and evidence and then negotiated with the counter-party to achieve a favorable outcome after a long and protracted battle by the counter-party. I was very pleased with the outcome and am confident that a similar result would have cost me much more at most other large or small law firms. Ken knows his stuff and is diligent and hard working for his clients. I highly recommend him in the areas he practices.

When my litigation law firm in Sydney needed to recover a large sum in California, we did our research and Ken came highly recommended. We were not disappointed. Ken undertook our matter with zeal and thoroughness. He saw off a number of large law firms who represented our opponents and easily outperformed all of the other lawyers involved. Ken’s tactics were brilliant, and he was aggressive and tenacious. We achieved a spectacular result that surpassed our expectations and was much quicker than we had hoped. Without doubt Ken is one of the finest lawyers I have ever met. I only wish he was in Australia and I could retain him more often.

I had a problem with a credit card company taking a debt settlement agreement that was made, but they took my money and sold my account to another company who then attempted to collect the remainder. I was lied to and needed justice. I talked to almost every civil lawyer in town and none would take my case. One told me that there just was not any money in it. I was more worried about my record being set straight rather than getting monetary damages. Monetary damages would just be a bonus. It turns out all those other lawyers just didn't have the knowledge or experience. They had no idea what to do. Mr. Roper took my case and he knew exactly what to do. I handed him all of my documentation and paid his retainer. He was kind enough to call me and give me status updates every few weeks even though I chose to not call him and let him concentrate on his work. A couple months later he won me a check for a couple thousand dollars. All I can say is that he was amazing. When no other lawyer had the time or experience to handle my case, he turned it into a chunk of money. When we split the money, his office manager noticed at the last minute that I was "overcharged" a couple hundred and re-did the paperwork. I would never have noticed (out of a couple thousand), but Mr. Roper was such a good partner that I sometimes feel like I should've let them keep the math error as a good tip for being a stand up guy. This guy has a lot of experience and is an honorable person to work with. If you choose to hire him as your partner and attorney on your case, I am glad to say that you have one of the best people on your team.

Mr. Roper handled a car purchase that was fraudulently done by a car dealership for me. He went above and beyond what was expected to ensure that I got the deal I was supposed to get. He made sure all documents were legal and met with my approval. My call to him was was an answered prayer. He made sure the dealership did not take advantage of me again. I am very grateful for his help and would recommend his legal expertise and services to anyone who is looking for an honest and knowledgeable attorney.

I really can't express how our family appreciates Randall Crossing, but I will try. Randall Crossing is an excellent lawyer. My husband was falsely accused of assault. Mr. Crossing took our case and immediately started working. He went to the supposed "scene", took photos, interviewed witnesses and did his research. Our case drug on due to COVID restrictions - no jury trials. But finally we had our day in court and my husband was found NOT GUILTY on all counts! He knows what he is doing. And he was very patient with us and especially me. My courtroom knowledge consists of Perry Mason and Matlock reruns. He answered all my questions and never complained. Thank you, Mr. Crossing for giving us back our life.

He is a very efficient attorney and the fee for his services was reasonable. I highly recommend him for any probate matter. In fact, I have hired him again on another estate matter.

During Vacationing in Las Vegas, my Wife Suffered a Stroke.. Fortunately she pulled through and was able to start a couple of different rehabilitation program.. Unfortunately she was unable to go back to work, however we were very grateful that she had been paying for many years for a supplement Long-Term Disability Insurance... After her regular work benefits ran out.. The Long-Term Disability Insurance kicked in.. However after just 4 months we received in the mail a letter of denial for benefits.. And our ONLY option was to Appeal the decision.... That is when we Hired Nick Gower,,, Nick spent extensive time researching and working on his appeal letter for us... We couldn't be happier... When he got the Insurance company to giving us a second chance with a Independent Medical Examiner,,, we were so happy.. after we finished with the IME .. We just waited to see what would happen.. Nick stayed on them and followed through,, and when we got the word that the Insurance company totally reversed their denial decision and would be sending us a retro check for all the back months and agreed to continue paying benefits from here going forward.. We were so relieved... Nick Gower;s Hard work and efforts,, Seriously has changed our lives... Thank You Nick........ Rod & Lory

We found ourselves in need of a lawyer regarding an insurance claim and were referred to Nick Gower. After our initial meeting, we retained his services and have been more than completely satisfied. He walked us through the overall process and our alternatives along the way. Nick was able to give us easy to understand explanations of complex issues. He was also key in setting expectations at each step and was always accessible by phone, email or text. He also would continually update us as to the status and or progress of our case, which included many evenings spent at our home. He would project timelines and expectations at each meeting.
In summary, Nick went above and beyond our expectations of a lawyer. He was professional as well as knowledgeable. What sets Nick apart is that he takes a serious interest in the lives of his clients. He genuinely cares about their situations. If we ever required legal work in the future, we would not hesitate to call Nick. We would also not hesitate to send referrals of our own friends and family to Nick.
We highly recommend his services. Richard and Sara .

Michael is incredibly fast, to the point, and very helpful. I consulted him for an issue with a general contractor, which was time sensitive, and he got to the bottom of the issue within hours. You want him on your side.

Attorney Kraft recently represented me in court helping to recover some money that I am owed. I am so glad he was there with me. He knew all the right questions to ask and the way he assisted my husband and me was a tremendous help to us both. I have such confidence in him that I expect he will be helping me with further issues on this matter. I just feel more comfortable having Attorney Kraft by my side.

My mom and I hired Sally Chung to create an asset protection trust and she and her staff were fantastic and responsive throughout the entire process. I asked Sally a lot of questions and she was very patient with me, and provided a lot of important details. I spoke with 5 other attorneys to get info and quotes, and by far, Sally was the most knowledgeable and professional. The very first attorney I spoke with to get details and a quote made me feel very uncomfortable...almost like she was skeptical...and did not give me all the pertinent details in deciding which type of trust to go with. I would never recommend that attorney and instead, I'm so happy we hired Sally as she was the complete opposite and I would absolutely recommend her. It also helped that Sally speaks both Korean and English to ensure my mom and I understood the details and to confirm with my mom what she wanted to do. Much appreciated!

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.
- List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes for your case.
- Information on damages: Be prepared to discuss any financial losses or harm you’ve suffered as a result of the unfair business practices, including medical bills, lost wages, or emotional distress.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your situation more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed with your case.
