Even during “normal times” the death of a parent is difficult enough. Our mother passed away during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which made dealing with her death and financial issues even worse. Since our family had previously sought the counsel of Stephanie Townsend-Allala when my father passed away and we were very satisfied with her legal services we sought her expertise again. When we talked to her about our concerns she took her time to answer all our questions and concerns. She made us feel at ease by her caring and compassionate manner. We are tremendously grateful for her expertise and knowledge in Elder Law. Our family highly recommends her legal services.

My family consulted Ms. Allala concerning our Mom's estate after her passing. The State of Texas sent us a Texas Estate Recovery Program questionnaire to determine if the State of Texas had any claim against our Mom's property. Ms. Allala was extremely patient in helping us answer the questions correctly. She answered all our questions with precise knowledge of statutory claim exemptions. Ms. Allala demonstrated professionalism beyond the call of duty. Her staff was also very friendly and kind during the set up of our consultation. Ms. Allala also gave us the peace of mind that we craved during our stressful time of taking care of our Mom's estate. We highly recommend Ms. Allala and her law firm in dealing with elderly care.

Stephanie Townsend gave us tremendous hope in our situation and guided us through our journey like a pro. She was always available to us to tell us what we needed to be doing. No question was too dumb. Stephanie answered them all and encouraged us. She is professional, knowledgeable, and offered emotional support to us as we faced difficult decisions in our situation. My family is grateful to her. We cannot praise her enough for all that she has done. Without hesitation, we recommend her highly and without any reservations.

I truly recommend hiring Christopher Bellow as your attorney. I was very impressed with him the first time I met him, because of his pleasant personality and deep concern regarding my situation. He was very easy to talk with, and assured me he would do the best he could to solve my appeal, which he did. The settlement was rectified in record time. A very nice man!

After a death, the last thing you want to do is worry about someone liquidating your fathers assets. This is what my sisters and I had to face a week after burying our dad. Due to him not having a will things where really complicated and his wife tried to take advantage of the situation. A family friend referred us to Bill and he has been a breath of fresh air throughout this entire process. Her attorney has been procrastinating the entire time and Bill has been on him like white on rice! Bill is very much to the point- no BS so if you want to be coddled then this one isn't for you. But, if you want the facts and someone that is going to give it to you straight while fighting for what's right then Bill is your guy. I highly recommend his team to anyone going through probate or a family settlement agreement. He's expensive but well worth the money I promise!

There are few things as personal as a family dispute. There are even fewer people with integrity that will ethically represent you during an extremely difficult time. I interviewed many firms, as it was not only important to me that a positive outcome occurred, I also wished for someone that understood my plight and had character throughout the process. Bill was professional, thorough and honest from the start. He pointed out facts that no one else did as he had a grasp of the intricacies of our family trust and the law. He advised me openly along the way and I am grateful that he got an extremely positive outcome in a relatively short timeframe and at a fair fee. Highly recommend Houser Law Firm.

He provided options, guidance, and education throughout the process, all while allowing me to make the final decisions on which steps to take. It was a lengthy process, and stressful at times, but I always had confidence that Lamar was working hard to reach a favorable outcome in my case. Lamar is extremely knowledgeable, and able to explain legal aspects in ways that are easy to understand.

We have never had an attorney but, if, in the future, we ever needed one, for what ever reason, Mr. L. Lamar Armstrong is now my over whelming choice. If you are looking for someone that you could call a ”Perry Mason”, Mr. Armstrong is your man. In my opinion, Mr. Armstrong is knowledgeable, a great listener with a great personality making one very comfortable and able to discuss issues easily and without feeling intimidated. My situation resulted from a local Large Home Center reneging on a legal contract. 45 days after the contract was signed and due to be completed in 15 days, the local Large Home Center called me and informed me that they were raising the price of my roofing job by an outrageous 250%. I was told that this was not negotiable. They said “They had a way out!” and hung up on me. Since this seemed to be a deliberate contract violation by the local Large Home Center, it was obvious that I needed a good attorney. I did a lot of research and selected L. Lamar Armstrong. I documented all the details of the transaction and presented them with the signed contract to Mr. Armstrong. At our first meeting, he informed us that our contract was valid and binding and the Large Home Center had no outs or legal recourse but to honor the contract as is (not a good option for me since I did not trust them) or have my roof installed by a different roofer. I could then file a Small Claims suit to recover the difference between our original legal and binding contract and whatever my new roofer would charge. He told us that, at this point, we would not need additional services from him, but he was available to give us follow-up advice at no additional charge. Based on his superb advice, suggestions, proposed action plans, and resulting responses from local Large Home Center, we obtained the evidence of the contract violation enabling us to easily win our case in Small Claims court.

I had asked her if she knew of attorney who would be able to help my senior mother prepare a Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney, Financial and Medical Power of Attorney, and not charge her an amount that would cause a coronary. I also wanted someone that she would feel comfortable with, and Mr. Hancock was the perfect lawyer for her. He was not only very welcoming, he was very understanding that my mom has early on-set dementia, and was able to communicate with her on a level where she was able to explain what she wanted included her the will.

I recommend Leah Altaras , on every social post I see on social media in regards to anything they’re going through. Leah is an Advocate for righting wrongs, I met her as a Prosecuting Attorney, and when my life was altered in an MVA I called Her for advice, and she was willing to take on my Personal Injury case. I was compensated by the other guys insurance the maximum amount as well as my own under insured coverage. At about 80% recovery, after a year of Physical Therapy, I was hit again, MVA. Compounded injuries, a tough fight, but Leah has that “fight” in Her, as do I, and we recovered well, in the 2nd MVA case as well. She also has consulted with Me over many various concerns I’ve had. I highly recommend Leah Altaras for all of Your legal concerns.

Leah came highly recommended by another lifesaving attorney I had worked with prior and we began working together over a year ago. These are some of the highlights you can expect working with her: 1) She jumps right in. While many attorneys want all this pomp and circumstance before actually getting started, Leah provided immediate value prior to my check even clearing. 2) She's highly creative. In law, everything is about strategy and Leah is so creatively strategic, the other party will never see it coming. 3) She makes herself available. While many attorneys have office staff and paralegals doing much of the work, Leah is a highly experienced attorney willing to actually answer her phone and texts. 4) She's flexible. There were times where things would change on a dime or my funds would dry up, yet I never ever felt abandoned by her. Even when I had to take my case on myself for a while, she still operated as my secret weapon and willingly taught me the ropes so I could continue to win. 5) She's thorough. Leah doesn't just simply answer the questions...she provides background, context, additional considerations, knowledge on who I'm up against, etc. 6) She's real and has actual empathy. Never once did I feel like just a client or "job." Leah's been through the trenches and sees things from her client's POV with genuine care. It's very hard to find a "real" person these days...she's just that. 7) She's NOT a pushover. Leah doesn't just take the easy path to "get things over with." She's a fighter in the most strategic way and never once suggested I just settle on my demands. Other attorneys I've worked with cared more about making backdoor deals or compromises...not Leah! 8) She's highly respected in the courtroom. Leah runs the show and knows exactly what to say to maintain the upmost respect in front of the court. This is critical to have in an attorney!! 9) She's an incredible person. Even outside of the law, Leah lives an authentic, family-oriented, and down-to-earth life. Her gift seems to be having a work-life balance in a way I've never seen before. 10) She's helped me win! I mean...is there really anything more important than this? Not when safety, financial wellbeing, freedom, and our children are on the line! I literally feel that her work has truly saved my life with everything I had at stake. When you need a fierce, competent, hard-working attorney to make you their number 1 for a while, it's truly invaluable to find an attorney like Leah. I know I sound like a broken record with positivity...but that's only because I've had such bad experiences with other attorneys before. So when I find an excellent one, I want to shout it from the rooftops because I truly, wholeheartedly believe in justice...and that's exactly what Leah has helped me achieve. Thank you for the being the real deal, Leah. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Zach has represented me in three different cases now, and each time, his expertise has been invaluable. Before I contacted Zach for the first time, I had hired a larger firm to represent me in a matter. This firm got a settlement check, but never resolved my original problem. I had written off hiring legal representation again after that experience. With my first case with Zach, he worked above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. Even when the other party "lost" recordings and documents we specifically requested in discovery, he didn't back down. We ended up with a settlement that was satisfactory, considering the wrong the other party (a debt collector) had done. The second case involved a vehicle repossession due to loss of full time work. After repossession, the creditor claimed I owed them a $10,000 deficiency balance. I didn't have the income to properly pay an attorney, but Zach worked with me and this case for over a year, and right before jury selection, managed to convince the creditor to settle for $500. I can't say enough good things about Zach. I appreciate his honesty and his willingness to fight for those who don't always have the means or resources to defend themselves. It's hard to find someone you can trust to actually protect *your* interests, not just pursue their own. Like I said, in my previous experience, the firm I went with didn't care about anything except their percentage of the settlement. I know from experience that Zach is about much more than that, and I'm thankful.

I try to tell my story to everyone and I'm glad I have the opportunity to let people know how Zachary Taylor protected me from being fully taken advantage of. I received a summons from a credit company. The one that called me to the point I was afraid of my phone. I googled "summons from credit card company" and Zachary's page was the first to pop up. His page filled me with hope so I called immediately. That was the best decision I have made. This credit card was only a $3500 limit but somehow they wanted to get me for close to $10,000. He used the law and my rights to fight this down. All the way down! In fact we tried too settle and I almost signed a agreement with them but he saw they tried to get me for fees and Zachary didn't like that idea and he sent it back. He knows the law and our rights!

From the very beginning he clearly explained every step of what the process would be. Our successful working relationship always felt like a partnership. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for help in these kind of financial matters.

Diane guided me through my divorce, always keeping me aware of all of my options. She also helped me out with my bankruptcy which took place as a result of my divorce. NOT only was my debt discharged, but I was given great advice on how to go about rebuilding my credit!

I initially was unsure weather or not hire an attorney to represent me in my support and custody case. The first few hearings I spoke on my own behalf and it was horrible! Nothing was being ruled in my favor and I had serious concerns of losing custody of my 3 young sons. Luckily I found Diane and I am so thankful! She has gone above and beyond and her attention to detail is immaculate. Her knowledge and understanding of the law shows her years of experience. But the quality I appreciate the most is that Diane has a heart but is not afraid to sink her teeth in and fight to the bitter end! She is definitely someone you want on your team and I truly believe I would most likely not have custody of my children were it not for her. She has helped me keep my family together and I will most definitely continue to use her as my representation in any future cases. She gets results!

He is one of the smartest lawyers I have come across. I have consulted with him on several matters, and in my opinion, he is very direct while giving you his advice. When he takes on something, he does his very best. He has a unique talent of being concise, yet very effective in terms of due diligence and procedure. Very smart.

I consulted with Mr. Bryan for several minutes regarding a friend's issues, and he gave some solid advice, though I couldn't hire him due to the circumstances. He seemed very knowledgeable, and more thorough, in comparison to other lawyers I had consulted regarding the same issue.

I had a chance with Ms. Nguyen on my case. In my opinion, she is a kind person and very professional. She helped me out with my extremely hard case, L1A for approval. She carefully goes thru with me every single required documentation, followed up on my request, and never drops a ball, very professional. This is the kind of attorney everyone would want to be in their corner when you have a legal application need to solve. Highly Recommend!

Going with Friedman and Nemecek changed my life. Going through the scariest thing in my life coming from a person who went to war says a lot.. Ian and Maddy were my lifeline to getting through a legal nightmare. The communication and care that they gave throughout the entire process was exemplary. I cannot fathom another firm caring and understanding as much as they have. The way they help you feel secure about your situation and the hand holding that they give is out of this world. They had such patience with me and my constant communication that I needed to have to feel comfortable going through this. I can’t say enough good things about this firm, and I could honestly write paragraph after paragraph about how amazing Maddy and Ian are.

I was introduced to Michael over three years ago when he took over a large portion of my whistleblower retaliation case against a large municipality. He has held a dual role in dealing with OSHA matters, as well as the Federal case. He has an amazing propensity to filter through an extraordinary amount of material and pick out all that is relevant. At times, I have told others, I speak to him more than I do my wife. He has kept me abreast of all the developments in both cases and, along with his team, has made amazing recommendations which have resulted in very positive outcomes. Michael also takes a personal interest in his clients and realizes the emotional strain this has on a person. There are times he has called just to see how I’m holding up. His concern has been greatly appreciated. Over the years, I’ve come to regard him as a great friend as well as a brilliant attorney. I cannot say enough about the amount of time and energy he has spent to deliver justice to my case. I don’t believe you will find an attorney anywhere with the level of dedication of Michael and his team.

Michael Halberstam carefully listened to me as he put together strong arguments for my unjust termination case. He was amazing at conceptualizing my case. His approach was very professional and very supportive. He showed kindness, empathy and respect during the process. Mr. Halberstam was relentless in pursuing the facts. He is a powerful legal writer. He was an extremely strong advocate every step of the way. It was empowering the way he told my story with the full force of the law behind it, ultimately winning a settlement.

Michael was extremely helpful to me in navigating my severance package when I was terminated from my employment. I was overwhelmed with many feelings over the termination. Michael was instrumental assisting me both professionally and personally. Professionally he clearly explained that I had the right to negotiate with my former employer the severance package they gave me. He also shared with me his personal experience with a similar issue that happened to him. He negotiated all the negative verbiage out of the severance document that would have hindered me in future employment in my profession. he also was successful in extending my severance package for an additional 4 weeks. Being able to talk to someone who had a similar experience was by far the most helpful. Michael helped me get my head on straight and got me going in the right direction in seeking future employment. Thanks Again to a great Lawyer and a great person.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
