I am writing this review to inform you that I have been completely satisfied with Ms. Couch. I was overwhelmed with annoying phone calls and letters regarding several debt collectors that seemed to me to be way too aggressive and intrusive. I contacted Ms.Couch and she was very impressive with her knowledge of the Law and my rights. She advised me on a course of action that would rid me of these calls. I hired her and she did everything else. All my concerns where handled above and beyond my expectations. The case was resolved in my favor. I will be more than happy to hire Ms. Couch for any other legal matters I may have in the future.

I called Nina to help collect the money we were due on work we performed for a contractor. She was diligent and fearless when the contractor and owner tried to threaten their way out of paying what they owed us for our work. Within a few months of Nina working on our case, we were paid in full.

My aunt passed away, and I was named the personal representative of her estate. It was a grieving period for me, I work ten hour days, the estate needed to be filed in another county, and I knew I didn't want to attempt to navigate this process by myself. From my first visit with Attorney Walker, I knew I could trust Jane and her staff to help me through a difficult time. My life continued on with little disruption from the probate process, because this law office handled it all. Thanks, Jane (and staff)!

We had an ongoing warranty issue with a large purchase that was not being resolved by the manufacture. We were referred to Patrick buy another attorney and he did not disappoint. Patrick had to deal with a challenging company that was very lazy when it came to communicating and addressing issues. Although it took a little longer than Patrick expected, (as mentioned the company was very lazy) he was able to secure a satisfactory resolution.

When we had to move Dad from Hospital to Nursing Home with an expectation of long term Medicaid needs, I needed good advice fast. Somehow I came across Bill’s first blog, where he said he saw himself as an elder advocate. Sounded like a nice guy, so I moved on to his main website and left a contact request over the weekend. When he returned my inquiry early on Monday morning he didn’t disappoint. So kind and helpful! Our situation was so simple it could really be handled by downloaded documents without an attorney. He offered an overview of the Medicaid process with really helpful insights that were not among the info I had unearthed in hours and hours of search and reading. I feel I can handle the Medicare and Medicaid application process with more confidence now. I am so grateful for his willingness to take 20 minutes to answer my questions. His answers really changed everything. If I had a more complex case I would certainly ask Bill to handle it.

I have recommended Mr. Nolen to many people through the years I have known him. I will continue to highly recommend him for Elder Law services.

We are now in the process of settling my mother's estate after her passing in March 2015.

Jamie Sutton guided me through the process to obtain legal guardianship for a family member. He has walked me through every step of the process, and I am highly confident in his expertise in this area as an attorney. He is knowledgeable, reliable, and courteous. In addition, he has been very patient, kind and sensitive to our family as we have gone through this difficult process. He has exceeded my expectations for legal counsel, and I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend Jamie Sutton for legal counsel.

I knew I found the right attorney for my contentious divorce and custody case after my initial consultation with Mr. Sutton. I had another attorney at the time and while I was not displeased with their counsel, changing my representation was the best decision for me and my family. I have worked with many attorneys professionally and Jamie is a unique breed. He won’t just take a case because he knows he can make money, he has a conscience and truly believes in justice. He’s very intelligent, attentive, strategic, organized and will do his best to represent and support his clients to the best of his ability. He has always been completely transparent and forthcoming in every matter we’ve dealt with, even when I didn’t like the answer. Many attorneys will tell you what you want to hear just to keep the money coming in, not Jamie. If you need an attorney that will be your biggest advocate, he’s your man. I can’t say enough great things about him, he has truly been a blessing to me and my family throughout what has been the hardest time in our lives. The legal system can be arduous, unfair at times and very confusing, but with a great attorney by your side you can be confident that you will make it out the other side. I will forever be grateful for having found Mr. Sutton and choosing him as my teammate.

In the interest of full disclosure, I want to say upfront that I do have a personal relationship with Mr. Sutton. We have been friends since we were undergraduates together at our alma mater.
I hired Mr. Sutton to help me with an ancestry and Irish citizenship matter. I was a little nervous, anticipating many bureaucratic hurdles and endless piles of paperwork. Lucky for me, the paperwork seemed to be mostly taken care of on Mr. Sutton‘s end. I have barely had to do anything other than ask questions and occasionally review and sign documents. Mr. Sutton, on the other hand, has kept me apprised of the ongoing actions within the process, gave me realistic expectations for what the process would be like, and continues to help me understand tangential legal issues. He excels at explaining a legal situation and possible solutions or outcomes (though he is really not a big fan of ‘what if’ questions. I guess most lawyers aren’t). He is also particularly gifted at strategic thinking and maintaining his calm collected rationale. Which is particularly great if you’re like me and have an aggressive form of anxiety that is constantly worrying. He is clearly intelligent, which you notice pretty much right away, and it is a huge relief to have someone this smart in my corner helping me navigate through what can be a truly Byzantine process. Do yourself a favor. Hire him.

We were faced with two legal disputes with contractors who did very shoddy work at our home and refused to fix their mistakes. Mr. Denver filed one lawsuit in Ocean County Special Civil Part and another in Monmouth County Superior Court, Law Division. He was able to successfully resolve both matters extremely quickly, without protracted litigation, and obtained a settlement which allowed us to fix the shoddy work.
Mr. Denver is not only knowledgeable about the relevant laws concerning our cases, he has a tremendous depth of experience and is an outstanding negotiator and litigator, which was clearly reflected in his dealings with the plaintiffs. He is also a brilliant strategist and tactician, a superb communicator and a sincere and caring advocate. He has a nearly photographic memory and pays attention to details. Mr. Denver had tremendous patience with us throughout the entire litigation process, keeping us up-to-date constantly as the cases progressed and explaining complex legal issues in a way we could understand and make informed decisions.
We spent a great deal of time searching and evaluating attorneys that could help us, and we are ecstatic and pleased with our choice and outcome. Unequivocally, you cannot get a better, more professional, first-rate attorney than Mr. Denver, and we wholeheartedly recommend him.

Bill worked well beyond the call of duty to pursue my medical insurance co, who simply needed to perform their obligation of approving a medication, even rejecting it. was fine to expedite the process, and Bill got them to do that through his tireless work. Nobody else was able to do that. He got me my meds and thus kept me alive.

I would have faced a severely depleted financial retirement future had it not been for Mr. Denver's patient persistence in pursuit of Insurance coverage related to the excavation and remediation required as a result of oil seepage from an abandoned oil tank discovered in the process of my selling the house in which I had lived for 40 years, The soil contamination was found to be deep and close to the house foundation, requiring multiple installations of steel foundation supports. With the cost of the remediation building close to 6 figures, and the Insurance Company I had for over 40 years denying my initial Homeowners policy claim, I had the good fortune to have a friend recommend retaining Dr. Denver at the Denver Law Firm. Mr. Denver studied survey maps, engineer's and soil boring reports, and voluminous material and documents related to the Environment Company's work. He worked with me to gather as much documentation as I could find related to past insurance policies even though in the anticipation of moving, I had shredded ancient records. He pursued the Insurance Company to conduct a policy search, established sufficient proof of coverage going back many years, and through negotiations and persistence, and without litigation which could have taken years, successfully obtained for me a significant contribution from the Insurance company toward the cost of the remediation. Mr. Denver was thorough, professional, encouraging and supportive, and I would highly recommend his company and services without reservation.

Mr. Kennedy represented our son in a juvenile matter. We were nervous about going through the process regarding our son's charges and Mr. Kennedy thoroughly explained what would happen along the way and really put our minds at ease. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and very personable. He was very responsive to any questions we had during the process and we felt he was always there if we needed to speak with him about anything that came up. We would use his services again in a second. He came highly recommended to us through a referral and we would highly recommend him to any of our friends or family in the future. Thank you for handling our son's case in a swift and professional manner.

Mr. Kennedy has from the start represented us with professionalism, optimism and respect for our privacy. His calm yet strong stance in forwarding our concerns and wishes to the other parties went a long way towards resolving the matter to our utmost satisfaction.
We have known John for over five years prior to engaging his services, and have always found him to be a kind and generous person who is respected well beyond the legal community. When the time came that we were in need of counsel, we chose John Kennedy to represent us as much for his spirit of volunteerism in our community as for his wealth of experience as an attorney.

Sharon Glassey, and her partner Chris Smith, recently handled a situation for me that could not have turned out better. Chris was involved in the beginning, explaining everything in detail and patiently answering all my questions. Sharon became involved midway and took it to the finish line, without the need to file a suit.
They both stayed on top of the issue, always returning calls and emails promptly. I felt very confident that things would turn out the way they did.
I highly recommend this team!!!

Glassey Smith is probably one of the best law firm in my opinion. They helped me fight against to the dealer and brought my down payment back (The dealer charged me way much more than MSRP).

Professional, smart,tuff attorney..Brad Riffe Esq.
helped me in a Lemmon Law Case..
This attorney told me what to expect, delivered
upon what he said..I was kept informed
the whole way..When he delivered me
the settlement offer, he had no idea he had
exceeded all expectations I had..I know
this because Mr. Riffe indicated he would
move forward to litigate to get the best
results for me if I was not happy..A lot of attorneys' won't litigate
if push comes to shove.. Mr Riffe clearly indicated he
would litigate..No need in my case to litigate
with the great work of Mr. Riffe eliminating
the need to use the courts..Legal bills
in terms of Mr. Riffe he kept his word..
I thought his charges, paid by the manufacturer
were very reasonable..The best result, case
settled in far less than 60 days..

This email account is meant to be registered to my old (defunct) photography business in Australia. I have no idea how they managed to create this account to leave a fraudulent review.

I met with Mr. Cooper after attending one of his legacy wealth planning seminars. His staff was exceptionally cordial and we were very well-treated. Mr. Cooper spoke with my wife and I about our concerns, and we hired the firm to create an estate plan for us. It is very comforting to know we now have a plan in place in case one of us is disabled. The plan will end up saving us quite a bit of money by avoiding probate as well. I'm also pleased the Cooper Law Firm has a program in place to review our plan annually to keep up with changes in the law.

Mr. Berent and his law firm have represented me and my business for approximately a decade. Over the years, he has handled a number of legal matters for me and has been successful in every single one. Mr. Berent is highly professional and fearless. I didn't appreciate just how special a lawyer Mr. Berent is until we won a hard fought trial in a complicated case. It was so clear that Mr. Berent was the better lawyer.

Glenn has been a godsend for our family, starting with setting up a Living Trust for my father and a Special Needs Trust for my brother. Every time I've had a question, whether it was financial, tax issues, or difficulties in dealing with assets to be placed inside the Special Needs Trust, and dealing with Social Security and Medicare, Glenn was always a phone call away to provide guidance and a sure hand. Many nights that could have been sleepless, weren't because of the help I got from Glenn. I highly recommend him.

Recently I needed to petition the State of California, and required a seasoned attorney to do so.
Robert Teel has a real knack for legal theory. He really does his homework sizing up the situation, the laws, and opponents. He furthermore carefully calculates risk, and his honest about the chances.
He complements his judiciousness before the court date with eloquence and personality in the courtroom.
Throughout the case he was a perfect communicator: keeping me up to date and providing very clear instructions what and what not I -- as a client -- had to do.
His ethics are impeccable, by the way, which I suppose one can't take for granted these days.
It has been a pleasure and hopefully will continue to be.

Attorney Brendan Klaproth ...As good as it gets! Amazing Attorney.
Courageous. Credible. Competitive. Conqueror. Compassionate.
1. He took my case after other attorney's told me they wouldn't know how to get it done.
2. He was always straight with me and other attorneys gave him great references.
3. 1st he thinks. He strategizes. He fights. He wins!!! He won my case!
4. He has positive energy and a sense of command that put me at ease.
*5. My favorite - He listened, heard/felt my pain, advised me, kept me informed, and reminded me that trusting was okay; there are some people who'd keep my best interests at heart.
Fact: No amount of money can erase pain; but, the walk through your tough days can be eased when you have the right support in your corner.
I am grateful Attorney Brendan Klaproth handled my case. My lawyer is The Best.

Brendan's work on my smallish (5 - 10k) claim against my condominium association was professional and competent. His rate of $300/hour was fair and he was conservative in his billing time. It was helped by the fact I was quite directive in what I wanted him to do and he did that competently. I recommend Brendan to anyone who is looking for a professional attorney who is responsive, professional yet dedicated to the needs of individual customer. I heartily recommend his work.

I could not be more satisfied with the firm of Klaproth and Basyuk in my recent business agreements. The entertainment attorney I had was not so great so I researched Washington, DC area business attorneys’ extensively before meeting Brenden Klaproth. I knew he would be my final choice on the day I met him. I never once regretted that decision. Brenden listened, advised, advocated and kept me well informed throughout the each business and entertainment agreement. He directed me when decisions were clear, and helped me decide and participate when strategies were a matter of choice. His compassion, confidence and experience put me at ease throughout a very difficult process.

Mr. Oconner helped me obtain a civil judgement against a store that fraudulently got me to purchase their product that I would not have purchased if I would have known all the ingredients of the product. During the whole time while he was doing all the legal work to obtain this judgment he was very helpful to me by always explaining everything that was happening. He would always answer any and all of my questions either by phone or email right away. Often times doing so after business hours as my job had me working until after 5:00 pm. Mr. Oconner was always very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anybody that may need legal consultation. If a situation ever arises, I won’t hesitate to call him!!!

Patrick was the first lawyer I have had to hire. My case took much longer than we originally expected. He was consistent in the level of detail, enthusiasm and confidence he showed throughout the entire process, which in turn gave me confidence. I was very impressed with his written skills as well and was always comfortable with the way he negotiated for me. As stressful as my case could be at times, the confidence I had in Patrick allowed me to focus on my job and life knowing that he had everything under control. I would recommend Patrick to anybody seeking legal representation regarding an employment dispute.

Pat was committed to my case and treated it as important, even though it was a smaller one. He was professional and highly intelligent, which shined through in his knowledge of consumer protection law. Whenever I had questions along the way he was extremely helpful and a terrific communicator. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal representation that is affordable and needs someone honest and hard working and very patient.

Vernon has been absolutely amazing. A year and half after I had been injured at work and after receiving medical treatment, it was time to start the settlement process. I was given an offer and wasn't sure if it was good. I found The Sumwalt Group on Google and saw the 5 star reviews. I reached out to them to see if I could get some advice. Vernon was the one to call me and gave me some wonderful free advice on countering and what would be a good amount. He also looked over the settlement agreement I received to make sure it wouldn't mess up any potential social security/disability in the future. Vernon made me feel like he cared and like he wanted the best for me on this settlement and helped me to avoid having to hire a lawyer and drag out the process. I hope I never get hurt on the job again, but if I ever do I will definitely reach out to them again.

Through out the entire process, I not only felt he was always giving me his full attention but also compassion and full support. He is extremely knowledgeable and delivers in a way that helps you feel like you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I actually randomly stumbled upon him and beyond grateful to have an attorney that exceeds beyond his job and genuinely cares for you and your situation.

I can't sing enough praises about this kind and knowledgeable man !!
My sister is the executor of my mothers estate. I was already having issues with her taking advantage of her position.
I was pretty disappointed that she would even do this ... but before I called out the Marines, Doug went thru some options that he wanted me to be aware of. Clear headed thinking is always the best.

Mr.Koenig was knowledgeable and professional as we reviewed policies
on home ownership rights and problems. The need to possibly change
or transfer the deed, the pros and cons associated with any change;
the other possible options: refinancing or sale of the home. He provided
specific facts and costs of each options, facts of NC law relative to each option, and positive and negative financial and/or personal consequences related to each of those options. We reviewed local housing levels of care options for seniors, from rentals to assisted living.
Lastly we reviewed the NC law on tenancy; the right to rent out a room
to either stranger or family; when and how one might evict if necessary.
Mr. Koenig provided dates of upcoming appropriate information sessions. He explained a remedy to an incomplete Will and Power of
Attorney. I surely will recommend him to others and will return to use his
services as needed.

We found Doug to be respectful of our wishes, knowledgeable, thorough, careful and considerate. Beyond this, he offered suggestions that we had considered and were glad to accept to ease future estate settlement. He also made appropriate adjustments in our POA's and Directive. We highly recommend him.

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.
