Anson worked very close with me on some very important IRS issues that could have been costly to me. Anson was able to work with the IRS people and bring my case to a satisfactory resolution. Anson was very knowledgeable, professional, reacted in a very timely manner, was in my opinion persuasive in his communication with the IRS, communicated effectively with me, and was reasonable with his billing. I would definitely use him again in the future.

Anson provided legal services to me and my accountant when an audit with the IRS required legal expertise. Anson was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable about tax code, and a pleasure to work with- strange to say, but true, given the matter at hand. He came highly recommended from a tax expert in Atlanta whose firm works on only extremely large cases under litigation and I was not disappointed. Should I need that assistance again, I will most certainly call Anson.

Anson came highly recommended by a friend of mine that also needed help with tax issues.
At my first meeting with him I walked away knowing that my choice of attorneys was the correct one.
Anson is very approachable, friendly, compassionate, and offers a sense of real partnership and security that is needed when dealing with the IRS and tax law.
Of course the most important attributes he has are the professional ones. He is extremely knowledgable, experienced, and confident in his abilities to handle legal issues.
He kept me informed in everything and explained things I didn't understand.
I will refer Anson to everyone as the best choice of attorneys.

I hired Attorney Favors to represent me in the purchasing process of a new home. Attorney Favors was very informative and always kept me abreast of details and status in the process. She was very knowledgeable about the process. Attorney Favors was very thorough and responsive to all request. The kind of attention provided to me during this process was amazing. When the sellers where trying to keep my earnest money because the deal fell through, Attorney Favors, was dedicated, determined and successful at getting the money returned. Hiring an Attorney for any process you enter into is very important, but getting an Attorney who can explain the law In layman terms and advise you in the process is what I appreciate and admired most about Attorney Favors. Anyone looking for a phenomenal and affordable Attorney I would definitely have to recommend Attorney Favors.

We turned to Chaim for advice on addressing our tax debt and to see if an "offer in compromise" was feasible. Chaim reviewed our financial situation and directed us to tools on the IRS website to determine if we might qualify for a reduction in our taxes. After going through those tools together, we concluded that we weren't candidates for an "offer in compromise". Throughout the process, Chaim was professional, knowledgeable, open and supportive.

Jim has worked with my clients in purchasing or selling their home over the past several years. He brings enthusiasm for doing the job right. Jim gives our clients a piece of mind during the stressful transaction of buying or selling their home, which is the ultimate goal. His knowledge of the ins/outs of a real estate transaction has saved not only money but our clients time. I can confidently refer Jim to my clients.

We hired Mr Smith to help with the sale of my mother’s house. He helped us to negotiate the price and got us through a few roadblocks. He was also very helpful at the closing, explaining all the documents we had to sign. We were pleased enough that we recommended him to others.

Jim Smith was our closing attorney through the process of both selling and buying our home and we cannot say enough about him. We had a short turnaround after selling our house quickly but Jim’s knowledge and efficiency made this a stress free experience for us. He worked really well with the real estate agents and banks to get everything done rapidly while communicating with us the entire time. He also was available to answer every question we had. We were not able to make it to both closings while moving out of our house on the same day so he worked with us ahead of time so that he could take care of one closing for us. We would highly recommend him!

Scott gives extremely astute advice, has a good manner, and is a very good listener. He’s very accessible (especially for a lawyer) and always prompt in his responses.

Scott is very thorough and never makes the client feel rushed. He’s extremely thorough in answering all of your questions and makes sure you understand and are comfortable with everything. Sometimes lawyers can be condescending but I did not feel that at all with Scott. I've worked with a lot of large law firms but Scott brings a whole aura of a fresh breath to the industry.

He was booked solid and didn't have time to add me and didn't really do the type of legal work I needed anymore as he's scaling down for retirement. But he talked on phone 5 minutes and answered some questions I had and was very polite and honest. We even had a good laugh together. James sounds like a loving and caring lawyer. The community will miss him after he retires next year! Thank you young feller!

I recently contacted the firm about a custody modification and was pleasantly surprised by Erika's personality. She was knowledgeable about legal matters, but she didn't talk to me like I was an idiot when I asked questions (and I had plenty of them lol).
I met with a different lawyer (not at this firm) prior to speaking with Erika, and I originally planned to work with him. A friend convinced me to call Flesner Wentzel instead because she felt like the first lawyer would not truly fight for my kids in the courtroom. I'm glad I listened to her.
The prices for custody matters are very reasonable, and you can do a monthly payment plan. I'm a single parent, so knowing I can afford court without falling behind on other bills gives me peace of mind. I plan to hire this firm to represent me in the near future.

I had the extreme good fortune to have Erika Wentzel as my lawyer. I was going up against a New York stock exchange company that owns Plaza Mercedes West and knew it would be a tough fight against the big dog. Erika is very knowledgeable, prepared, and just overall excellent that I knew (and told her often) that no matter how it turned out she did the best job she could for me. I can not say enough great things about Erika. You are in great hands with Erika and her law firm. I strongly recommend Erika Wentzel and the Flesner Wentzel law firm of St. Charles, MO!!!!

My ex and I worked out an agreement for an uncontested divorce and we both wanted to make sure our divorce was finalized as soon as possible. Erika was able to get our divorce filed quickly and had the judgment signed on the 31st day after filing (the soonest it could legally be finalized).
She has also drafted and reviewed several business contracts for me. She always makes helpful suggestions for amendments or additions.
I am very happy with the services I have received.

I interviewed a couple of Denver area attorneys before hiring Rose Mary Zapor to do my will. I learned about her after asking friends for a referral. Rose has had many years of experience with elder law and services for the elderly, including estate planning, and with how laws work in Colorado. She did my will for a reasonable flat fee, which made me feel at ease, not on the clock, while i asked numerous questions and she answered them patiently. Rose was meticulous and detail-oriented going through various options and scenarios, and gave me some good suggestions and warnings about what not to do. Her staff is efficient, too.

Rose is an amazing lawyer. She is fair, knowledgeable and a very kind person. She is very well-versed in several different types of law including elder law, military law and family law. She is an acceptional mediator and a blessing to any case you may have. I used to say Rose had a heart of gold, but now I know she is solid gold from head to toe. She has my highest recomendation for any project she undertakes, any relationship she has or any legal matter for which you may need assistance. I would hire her at any other time as well for whatever issue I had at hand.

How do I start. From start to finish I always always felt no matter when or how many times I called with questions or concerns, I was treated with such respect, day or night. Audra, you are a amazing women, and someone I can call my friend. What a special person she is. Audra is Mr. Redkey's Assistant, and if you need something done or just an ear to vent, she's your gal!! I reside in the Roseville area, and for me to drive to Sutter Creek (on my own) it was such a treat for me. I wanted to go just because I always felt I was in good hands.
Jude, you are the best Lawyer ever!! Your calm way of explaining things to me, always put me at ease. Oh, and your really handsome too!! What a great law firm I had the privilege to come into my life.
Over all I love you both! Grateful, appreciative, and blessed that with an unfortunate situation, I have two people that have come into my life, that I truly respect!!!!!
Happy New Years!!

Jude always went above and beyond to make sure my family and I were taken care of and he put us in touch with great doctors and specialist to help us in our recovery after our car accident. He was always in constant contact with me regarding my case and always explained things to me in layman terms. He got myself and my family a fair settlement for our cases.
Should the need ever arise again that I would need any of the services he can provide, I will definitely be calling Jude again. I have already referred four of my friends to him and I will continue to do so. If honesty and integrity are the rare qualities you seek in a lawyer, then Jude is your lawyer.

Sara handled a business sale for us while we were out of the country. She did an outstanding job in keeping our interests covered and taken care of, as well as all legal aspects. We did this with limited communication via the internet. When we returned to the USA we basically had to go over a few minor details and sign papers. She not only did everything correctly for that business transaction but has handled trust and LLC documents and procedures for us as well. We would hire Sara to handle any legal business for us, regardless of it's nature without hesitation.

My wife Jennifer and I had a very warm, professional experience working with Kathryn and her staff.
Jennifer has a terminal brain tumor and we needed help updating our wills and had several other questions that we needed answers for.
Kathryn and her staff showed not only the answers we were looking for but brought up several key points that we hadn't even thought of.
They all displayed a relaxing professionalism, compassion and we felt most comfortable that we had picked the right firm to help us.
Kudos to all the staff and especially to Kathryn for making a very difficult situation much more tolerable.
We will be using them again and would highly recommend them.

There is never any concern of selling more than the client needs. She is very patient with elderly clients. I highly recommend Kathryn.

When our car was repossessed, we were astounded. We had no idea what to do or how to deal with the situation. We knew we hadn't done anything intentionally wrong, but we knew we needed representation. Enter Samantha Orlowski. Sam was a vocal and engaged advocate for us from day one, guiding us through (for us) unfamiliar territory. She went above and beyond in terms of her investigative work and it all worked in our favour. In the end, we reached a satisfactory resolution. Thank you to Sam and Sparks Law Firm for their continued good work!

I found this lawyer for my younger sister who was injured in a car accident by an intoxicated driver. My sister was intimidated about hiring a lawyer and going through the legal process, but Samantha made it very simple for her. She explained the process each step of the way and was quick to respond to our questions. She was very courteous, knows how to do her job well, and exceeded our expectations. My sister received a settlement that was a great deal more than we expected. Samantha will fight for what you deserve and takes great care of her clients. I would highly recommend her.

Shari has been my attorney since May 2020 and the probate case finally closed this March 2023! I don’t live in Colorado so having to handle this all on the phone or electronically isn’t the norm. She was instrumental in giving great advice on next steps and which way to handle all the legal roadblocks. She always explained the most cost effective way versus just trying to log billable hours. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney and would recommend her as a probate/estate attorney.

My mother passed away on January 6, 2005, and I was appointed the Personal Representative of her Estate on January 31, 2005. On April 4, 2005, the State of Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing filed a claim against my Mother’s Estate in the amount of $22,000.00 for Medicaid services rendered while she was alive. She also had a couple of debt collectors attempting to get paid twice by the estate. My attorney at the time couldn’t handle a case this size so he backed out.
On September 8, 2005, I engaged Shari Caton as my attorney for my Mother’s Estate who helped me prove to the State of Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing that I had received a disability on my back during active military service and that I was receiving disability compensation from the Veterans Administration. This was grounds for the State of Colorado to drop their claim against the estate and so they did. Thanks to Shari Caton and her high degree of legal professionalism, for blocking the State’s Claim against my Mother’s Estate and stopping a couple of money hungry thieves from getting paid twice.
Shari Caton is an excellent attorney with a vast knowledge of the legal system, a high degree of legal professionalism and works diligently in helping her clients win their cases. Shari is a great person as well as a great attorney who is second to none. A real WINNER!!! I very highly recommend her to anyone needing legal help.

I had a life altering event and, after much research, selected Robin O'Neil-Manning to assist me through the disability process. Her offices processed everything professionally and expeditiously. She and her team handled my case with empathy, understanding and compassion, helping me get through this difficult time. My questions, phone calls and e-mails were always addressed within 24 hours and she drove the entire process. I was awarded disability and am grateful for their dedication!

Attorney Manning helped me get my social security disability. They always answer the phone or someone will get right back to you and answer all of your questions.
They always have time to talk and explain things to me. I am a nervous person and that helped a lot.

Great attorney, people are really nice and always returned phone calls. They listen to me and offered very supportive advice. The attorney argued with the vocational expert at my hearing and didn't stand down. I think that is why I won my case. It took almost two years but it was worth it! I highly recommend this attorney and the office.

I am the guardian of a mentally disabled family member. Some years ago I was embroiled in a long-standing, complex dispute with care providers that could have resulted in devastating and dangerous consequences for my ward. Lara entered my legal case at this point, and assisted in bringing the situation under control in just a few months. Her wisdom, knowledge, patience, calmness and exceptional skills as a negotiator and counselor helped to bring about a solution that was better than anything I had hoped for. Since then, I have continued to work with Lara as my attorney for all guardianship issues, which fortunately, have been relatively routine since that early crisis. Lara has such a passion for protecting and serving the disabled. Her compassion is boundless, yet she is like a rock when she takes a stand for what is needed, and she cannot be manipulated. Her knowledge is extensive, yet she is also guided by intuition. Her ability to be impartial, and to understand (and explain) the differing perspectives of difficult people is, and was so valuable in my personal situation. I learned much from her that still serves me well in my continuing relationships with my ward's present care providers. I would highly recommend Lara as an advocate and a resource to any disabled person, or to anyone who takes care of a disabled person.

I am the owner of a medical case management and guardianship company in Chicago and have had the priviledge of working with Attorney Lara Duda on numerous occasions over the past five years. Lara stands out among attorneys that I work with in many ways, but this is mostly evidenced by her passion to serve disabled and elderly clients and assist in protecting them when they do not have a voice of their own. Lara is extremely knowledgeable in the Elder Law and Probate Law arena and goes above and beyond to ensure that my clients come first.

Brandon has to be the most caring and assertive attorney I've ever had. Brandon and I worked together while he was with his previous firm. However, he was my only contact. His professionalism and putting the client first is absolutely on a level I don't know the words to use to explain it. We worked together on what I consider "the worst experience of my life". He listened to me on both a personal and professional level. I can guarantee you, in the future as things arise, Brandon is the attorney I will hire. If the situation is not his specialty, I will trust him to point me in the right direction. You CANNOT go wrong with Brandon representing you.

I was referred to Attorney Weatherby by a friend. I have no family but I wanted to leave a separate parcel of land with a garage to a neighbor and my home across the street to a friend.
I was procrastinating and dreading the process. Attorney Weatherby was able to provide a draft of the plan as we spoke and shortly after receiving a few missing pieces of information.
He also made sure that I had a living will, POA, advanced designation of conservator, etc. He was very thorough and very nowledgeable.

I worked with Hank Weatherby after a general practice attorney I hired had made substantial errors when advising me on a family member's Medicaid spenddown. The nursing home had threatened to take my home away at one point! Hank took over, unraveled the extremely tangled knot, and provided me with answers and peace of mind.
Hank then worked with me on my estate plan to clearly explain all the options I had which were unique to me- there were no fill-in-the-blanks documents. Hank's comprehensive approach to planning and his innovative Lifebridge plan ensures that my estate documents are up to date and are relevant to my life circumstances.

My husband and I engaged Hank Weatherby's services last year to help us plan for our children and grandchildren. As this is my second marriage and the third for my husband, with children from each marriage, we had thought this would be a very stressful process.
Hank immediately put us at ease. He provided helpful materials that helped us formulate our goals. He provided practical examples and explanations for legal concepts that would otherwise have been difficult to understand.
We had been avoiding this task for several years. Hank guided us through every step of the process and made what had been an overwhelmingly complex matter seem straight-forward and understandable.
He never imposed his personal views. Rather, he helped us understand our wishes (which we really hadn't thought through before) and then implemented them.
We've been delighted with the outcome and the ongoing communications and support. Hank is proactive and always accessible to answer questions.
Had we known how painless he would make the process, we would never have procrastinated.
We highly recommend his services

18 Oct, 2016 by Dustin
Firstly I want to say Shayne is one of the nicest people I've ever met and could sense he wasn't in it for the money. It felt like he really cared and wanted to do everything in his power to be helpful. He was the first attorney I've ever needed to hire so needless to say I was very overwhelmed and intimidated at first but he helped me every step of the way. He made sure to stay in contact either via telephone, email or person. Making sure everything was laid out for me so I could understand what we were doing. He never overwhelmed me with legal jargon and explained everything which I (your average blue collar worker) could understand his approach. He never went forward without getting my consent and he gave me his honest opinions on matters which helped me get one of the best outcomes.
I hired Shayne as a consumer protection attorney after I was a victim of a road side car lot refusing to give me a refund on a damaged vehicle. Thanks to Shayne everything worked out in my favor.

He kept in contact with me throughout the whole process and called me often with questions or for clarification. If we didn't have any major new news in the case for about a week he would call me just to check in and give me a quick update.
Very professional and great to work with. I could really tell he cares about his clients. Mr. Sutherland went above and beyond what i expected and in the end got us the exact results we were hoping for. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a lawyer.

When my wife and I scheduled a consultation with Joel, we didn't know whether we needed a will or a trust. Joel took the time to explain the benefits and deficits of each and how they would or would not protect our assets for our future generations. He was upfront about his fees and keep us updated as he worked on our case. I recommend him to anyone needing advice about estate planning.

Joel has helped me through a very difficult time when I became very ill several months ago. At the time, I only had a general idea of how I would like my will written how I wanted to allocate what I had acquired.
I didn’t know where to begin so at first I sought out some recommendations and that eventually led me to Joel.
Right off I felt like I had someone who had a serious job but who liked what he did (and was good at it), innately patient and who could easily communicate the what’s and whys of what we needed to document.
Now, I’m so relieved that what I had put off is completed and it was completed in the exact way that I am comfortable with.
I should have done it sooner but then maybe I wouldn’t have met Joel.
The office atmosphere there at the Junction City office is professional but warm and friendly also. I’m glad I got out of town and took the drive!

I had an initial consultation with Joel Smith regarding whether to probate the estate of my elderly mother's deceased partner. Joel was very informative and eager to help, even though he advised not to probate, and would receive no compensation for his time.

Lucy Tufts represented me in an extremely complex case involving mortgage fraud on the part of my previous attorney, who converted the payoff money from the new lender to his own personal account and failed to pay the previous lender the funds due. The net result left me holding two mortgages on the same property, with threats of foreclosure and numerous acts of intimidation from the bank holding both mortgages.
Ms. Tufts successfully negotiated a stay of action on the part of the bank while seeking recourse through the courts in a vain attempt to collect the monies due.Further research on the part of Ms. Tufts revealed that the bank offering me a new loan had failed in several respects to follow standard banking procedures and its own policies in the signing of certain documents at closing and thus had inadvertently contributed to the ensuing fraud and theft of funds that took place.
Ms. Tufts demonstrated considerable skill and legal knowledge in dealing with facts as they occurred. As a legal strategist she is brilliant. As an adversary to opposing attorneys, particularly in depositions, she was courageous and did not retreat from heated dialogue from opposing counsel. At the end of the day, the original lender paid off the previous mortgage and offered me another mortgage for the same term and interest rate as before. In addition, Ms. Tufts negotiated a significant amount from the bank for damages, and obtained a $2,000,000 non-dischargeable in bankruptcy judgement against the attorney who defrauded me.
Ms. Tufts was at all times patient in explaining complex legal issues and strategies, was consistently available to me and prompt in returning all telephone calls, and often worked on my case over weekends and holidays. i can only describe Ms. Tufts services in superlatives and recommend her legal services without heitation.

Our restaurant and bar used him to represent us for a sales tax audit that our former lawyer and accountant screwed up royally. George was able to appeal the matter and save us around $210,000. He used to prosecute tax fraud cases for the government. He words with an accountant that used to be a bank vice president and a restaurant owner. Really knowledgeable team. My recommendation is let them run your audit. Your accountant will just hand them the records and may even make adverse statements that will haunt you civilly and criminally. Amen!

Giorgio is a wonderful lawyer. As a former State Investigator and Tax Prosecutor he was able to save me over 100,000.00 in a sales tax audit by the New Jersey Division of Taxation. He treated me and my family with respect and like a family member. He is well thought of in South and Central Jersey. Giorgio speaks Italian, Sicilian and a little Spanish and German. He's studied in Italy, Austria, and London. I trust him! I used him for all business, liquor license, international law, tax and my friend used him for criminal and municipal court cases. My wife used him for personal injury case. I don't think he does anything like marital or divorce.

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.
