Credit problems seem to hound us in one form or another throughout our adult lives. The solutions to those problems are not easily discerned--not even for many attorneys. In my case, I did all I could to try to understand what was happening to my credit. I gathered all my research and took the papers to a local attorney. The file laid on a shelf in the lawyer's office for a month--she did not know what to do with it. The case would be against one of the nation's top three credit reporting bureaus.
By chance, my wife found a site on the internet that told of the work of Christopher Green, a successful consumer protection attorney in far-off Seattle, Washington. We gave Chris a call and before the conversation was over we already had a certain feeling of optimism. I sent Chris my packet of amateur research, and it was not long before he had shuffled the papers, identified those pages with substantive information, and mortared that information together with depositions, a wide range of personal experiences, his expertise in credit law, and with a diligence that did not falter before the case was completed.
Chris Green argued the merits of my case professionally and successfully before the court--against renowned corporate lawyers--winning a grand-slam decision. Later he made sure that I was making the decisions as he negotiated a settlement that was beyond expectations.

A major corporation misused my personal and credit information causing an avalanche of serious problems. They refused to make the necessary corrections. After 2 1/2 years of insurmountable problems and frustration, I hired Christopher Green for legal counsel. He was patient and understanding while listening to my complaints. Chris answered each of my questions in detail. He was thorough while explaining the legal process ahead. During the law suit he kept me updated on the progress of the case. Chris has in-depth knowledge of the law. He is not intimidated by corporate attorneys. He excels in the negotiation process. I was extremely satisfied with the resolution of my case. I highly recommend Attorney Christopher Green!

Meeting Chris was a true blessing. As he took the time to get to know my businesses he asked great questions that I had not considered. Being as business owner, I was focused on growth, vision, sales, and marketing. The legal side of structuring the business was something I had not fully considered. With his guidance, I am taking steps to set up a formal business agreement, trademarking my names, and organizing the financial documents to ensure things are in line as the business continues to grow. He saved me from future headaches and shined light on a blind spot I didn't know I had. He is honest, fair, and thorough in his work. I would recommend him to anyone.

We hired Chris to help with some organizational changes. We wanted to make leasehold improvements for a future subtenant, receive a sublease agreement, form an LLC with another company, enter into a new operating agreement with the other company, redo our company employee handbook and create an Excel-based annual operating budget with performance measurement tools. I think Chris's background in accounting and finance, on top of his legal background, saved us time and money because we didn't have to hire a CPA to help us with some finance-related aspects in our agreements and plans. He did a great job of keeping us informed on hold ups, open items and when items would be completed and returned

As a business owner it is not typical to praise attorneys. John and his support staff were and are outstanding. Janet Glaze in particular communicated and followed up regularly to keep us up to date on a case that exceeded 6 years. Even though the process was tedious John and his team kept us grounded and informed and that is all you can ask of your legal team. I would highly recommend John, his team and the entire Beasley Law firm.

Hiring an attorney is an emotional, stressful and extremely difficult decision because you are counting on someone to help you through a difficult time in your life. I was lucky enough to find David Sufrin. He is an impressive negotiator, compassionate, quick witted and simply an amazing attorney. He is also extremely responsive and always accessible, ready to answer any questions or concerns. He was so patient with me and always put my mind to ease whenever I had concerns (which was often). I am forever grateful for his knowledge, responsiveness and compassion. I can say confidently, you will want him on your side!

Mr. Sufrin took over my very complicated divorce case when my former attorney from the same firm retired. My case went to trial, and David was very professional, he is a great trial Attorney.
David went above beyond looking out for the best interest of myself and my children. I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone needing assistance during such a difficult time.
Mr. Sufrin is an attorney who showed more integrity, honesty, and genuine concern towards his clients. He is highly responsive, extremely, well versed in what he does and simply put, knows his stuff. He is an outstanding professional who produces results and solves issues quickly and efficiently.

We had a perfect experience with Robert Bullock and Abigail Wolf from ELDC. Let me tell you how I got there. It started in the overcrowded sitting room of another local elder care law firm…
I was the youngest person in the room by 30-40 years, and I was in the room for totally different reasons than everyone else. They were there to learn how to manage your retirement funds so that when it’s time for you to move into assisted living or a nursing home, you can get Medicaid to pay for your bed. I was there to figure out what I needed to know and do in order to ensure that if, God forbid, something should happen to my wife and me, our son with special needs (he has a profound physical disability with no cognitive impairment) would be properly taken care of (e.g. medical, nursing, caregiver support, college, spending money, etc). My ideal scenario was to wrap up all of our resources (financial accounts, retirement, possessions, life insurances) in a tidy way such that a legal “key” could immediately convey to whomever we designated as our son’s caregivers...with no interruptions whatsoever to his high level of medical support.
I didn’t learn much about my particular situation from that session (though it was very informative if you want to figure out how to keep your retired husband from buying that pool he always wanted after you’re gone, or from spending your grandchildren’s inheritance with the new pool girl that came with the pool!), and I began to sense that I needed to find a specialist with personal experience in special needs. Enter Robert Bullock. Recommended by a friend of my son’s physical therapist, Robert has a lifetime of experience in legal matters related to all areas of special needs.
Because of our son’s medical needs, my wife and I have trouble getting out of the house. Robert easily accommodated this need via a meeting over video teleconference. He also immediately understood our goals and motivation and began helping us understand the process we would need to walk through in order to make that vision a reality. He was very generous with his time and with dispensing timely insights that were helpful for a young couple still starting out on our journey with our son’s special needs.
When Robert directed that our case be handled by his colleague Abigail Wolf, we wondered what it would be like to work with her. She did not disappoint! Efficient and comprehensive, Abigail struck a perfect balance between giving us the space we needed to work through the sometimes extensive paperwork we needed to fill out (something which can be tricky to find time to do, when you’re juggling a lot of home healthcare needs) and helping us stay on track with working towards our goal of getting it all squared away before the end of the year (mostly by checking in periodically to see if we needed any assistance). When all was said and done, we had completed wills, Advanced Medical Directorives, and Power of Attorney documents for both my wife and me, as well as a Family Trust for our family and a Special Needs Trust for our son. All of these are precisely configured to ensure that, if something happens to both of us, all our financial resources will be at the disposal of our son’s caregivers.
When the time came to finalize the documents, Abigail took care of everything. We reviewed and signed everything in our own home, with the help of a courteous and efficient notary (also scheduled by Abigail).
Overall, our experience with Robert Bullock, Abigail Wolf, and ELDC was like eating at a five-star restaurant, i.e. everything we hoped it would be and more. I heartily recommend ELDC to anyone needing legal services related to financial documents for elder or disability care---especially special needs families!

Ms. Wolf has helped many of my healthcare clients, navigating various legal needs they may face, such as guardianship concerns, estate planning and how to prepare for the future. She is very knowledgeable but is able to explain things in an understandable fashion. She is tireless in her efforts to help others. She truly hears individualized concerns and addresses them. She is efficient but comprehensive. I highly recommend her services, regardless of if someone is just beginning their planning for the future, or needs to review what they have in place.

We literally got SCREWED and taken advantage of by a car dealership. Hawk and his firm reviewed my auto loan contract and paid attention to detail and recommended a course of action to take when we were out of hope. He always got back to us in a timely manner, and fought hard for our rights. He definitely under promised in the beginning, and over delivered on the results. I could not have asked for a better out come. We ended up settling w/ the dealership's attorneys earlier this year. Our headache and horrible experience w/ the dealership was definitely rectified, but would not have been possible without his help. I have recommended him to other people to have their contracts reviewed, so they do not get taken advantage of.

Mr. Barry possesses a brilliant mind and his attention to detail is astounding. He has, repeatedly, handled my case with a clarity of purpose and a dedicated work ethic. He has never failed to deliver prompt answers and/or follow-up to my many questions. Additionally, he has exemplified the "human" touch to all communications and consistently provided the foundational rationale and understanding for the complexities of the legal process which, thereby, reduced my anxiety and stress regarding my lawsuit. Without equivocation and/or prevarication I would recommend this multi-talented attorney.

David Wasson is responsible, knowledgeable, trustworthy, professional, ethical, and very reliable. I asked me to represent me for a short period of time and he accepted, even if he knew that I was broke. I recommend him 100%, no doubt. Trust me, you won't regret if you hire him. He does his best to settle the case and will not drag it to make money.

James Allen Ward represented our family in securing a Critical Care Nursing center for my Uncle. They had taken him in as a medicare patient, but sign him up with a bunch of illegal paperwork and planned to evict him in preference for higher paying customers. Having Jim on our team averted that and the Power of Attorney documents really locked in our control over my uncle's circumstances.
If he comes off as less than charming, that actually what you want: someone representing you who is not to be trifled with. His team has an inside track on California Law and the people who administer it. The result is total respect for me as a guardian and dignity for my Uncle.

Attorney Martin Putnam is your man if you get taken by a Used Car Salesman as I was. Mr. Putnam spoke to me in person over the phone, listened well to my situation, and asked some questions. After the Saleman refused to refund my money and take back a defective car which he misrepresented and, among other illegal things, posed safety hazzards (driver's door locks driver inside which prior attempts to fix were unsuccessful the Salesman admitted after I took the car and was locked in several times in a 3 days), Mr. Putnam made one phone call to the Car Lemon Salesman and got the issue settled instantaneously. I got my full refund and they took back their Lemon Car. My problem was resolved instantly because of Mr. Putnam's knowledge of the law and manner in dealing with law breakers who try to take unfair advantage of people like me. Mr. Putnam was incredibly kind and generous in his consideration of the terrible spot I was in and offered me a free consultation and one free phone call! Am I grateful!

Mr. Putnam was able to resolve our legal issue with a retailer. We have had the pleasure of having Mr. Putnam represent us as our attorney regarding a retail contract dispute involving a rather large sum of money after we signed the contract. Mr. Putnam was able to understand technical details related to our purchase and provided meaninfull and reassuring feedback in a calm professional manner.Throughout the time we collaborated with Mr. Putnam he was available for us to speak with him numerous times via telephone calls. When he was not available for us to speak with him he promptly returned the messages we left on his aswering machine. Mr. Putnam forwarded all correspondence from all parties involved in the dispute to us so we were kept "current" regarding the progress on the issue.We highly recommend Mr. Martin S. Putnam.

No one wants to go through bankruptcy. It's a terrible time and I was feeling really badly about having to do it at all. But, from the first phone conversation, Julian put me at ease and I knew everything was going to be all right. I have mega-anxiety problems and he was so patient and good humored about it. He surely must have been frustrated with me at times, but he never let it show. He told me I was in his hands and I couldn't have hoped for better hands in which to be. From beginning to end, he kept me informed and went out of his way for me (literally - hundreds of miles). And his sense of humor was really refreshing. Not really something you expect from a lawyer. He knows his stuff and walked me (patiently) through everything that had do be done. Couldn't have asked for better counsel. He actually made the experience almost enjoyable.

Julian came to our rescue after our first attorney lost confidence in our case. He told us our last option to avoid the $200,000 personal injury suit was to file for bankruptcy and thats how we met Julian. After filling Julian in, he immediately expressed compassion for us and took on our case with nothing but complete optimism. After almost 3 years of threatening letters, legal fees, a miscarriage etc, Julian delivered results. He successfully negotiated settlement down to $1,500 all the way from $200,000 and he has lifted the most tremendous weight off of our shoulders. We sought counsel from 5 attorneys total, Julian was the only man prepared!

Joe Bird has been great from the first phone call thru the end of the settlement. He has always kept me well informed via email and phone. He has called to walk me through different processes that we would have to take. Just today I was contacted by MSP, who was requesting my medical records. Instead of me having to contact hospitals etc, I called Joe, on his personal cell phone. He told me he would take care of it for me and he did. He was always 100% honest with me, on how the process worked and what to expect. The expected outcome was right in line with what Joe predicted. I will be calling him if I need any further legal advice and passing his name and number along to anyone that may need it.

Jordan was very helpful and nice communicated back with me in a timely manner and solved my issue of me almost losing my money on a new jetski I had bough from a dealership. The ski is going to get diagnostic and the problem should be fixed by the manufacture. I had spent so much money trying to find the problem with the ski at so many dealers but they couldn't find anything and when I would call the Manfacture they would tell me your out of luck. Thanks to Jordan for talking to them and getting me a good will service diagnostics my ski will be running and operating again and I don't have to just throw away the 20k I spent on the ski. I couldn't have had asked for better service from Jordan where no one wanted to take my case because either they said there's no money or profit margin innit for them or they just don't deal with water sport.

I am so grateful, that I wanted to thank Mr. Kemnitzer publicly and to alert others with a bad car deal to contact him, especially a teenager like me that desperately needed help.
I went to purchase a vehicle at and ended up with a nightmare of a contract of about $55,000, which made up of being; overcharged for the vehicle, inflated negative equity on my leased vehicle, and adding an additional $8800 of worthless accessories and insurances. This all happened without the dealership checking my ability to pay for this huge amount. I am very thankful that Mr. Kemnitzer took my case on a contingency. He seemed to immediately grasp the situation and using his knowledge of the law, knew exactly what buttons to push to get the deal done. He showed compassion and at the same time guided me on how to purchase a car in the future from dealerships that use hard sells tactics.
He quickly reached a settlement to unwind the deal by cancelling the contract. I walked away without owing the dealer anything. It was an incredible outcome for me.
I would highly recommend Mr. Kemnitzer for his knowledge, expertise and negotiating skills that prevented me from having to file bankruptcy and having poor credit for many years to come.

Bryan Kemnitzer is a very bright attorney, with great skills as a negotiator as proven by the very desirable results he accomplished for us on two occasions one in 1993 and again in 2016. In each case he has shown extreme knowledge of the law, the ability to negotiate from a position of strength and to reach agreement quickly.
There was no Avvo during my first experience in 1993. So since he just completed our second case with my wife's granddaughter, I wanted to take the opportunity to write about my experience on Yelp to emphasis the importance of having an asset such as Bryan on your side. I had a used 1990 Allante with about 32,000 miles. One day the entire brake system failed and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. I began to negotiate with General Motors to replace my car with a brand new one. We reached the point where GM staff could not go the distance to meet my demand. At this point I needed an attorney to close the deal and wrap it up. Bryan was that person. He carefully reviewed the frequency of visits to the Cadillac service center and determined on the spot that the Lemon Law was applicable in this case. He took the case on a contingency basis. He wrote a great letter following the law, detailing damages, loss of use, and penalties. This is where Bryan really shines because once GM received his letter, they responded by agreeing to provide me with a brand new 1993 Allante, at no cost to me. GM also paid the attorney fee. I would recommend to anyone that is confronted with a car deal that has gone sour to contact Bryan.
Based on my first experience we turned to Bryan again for a case involving strong tactics used by dealer to sell a 19 year old an expensive vehicle that exceeded her ability to pay and then to make matters worse added worthless accessories to further increase the price. Bryan again displayed his prowess to negotiate and was successful in unwinding the deal. This was an incredible outcome for our granddaughter. It taught her a great lesson without the pain of having to go through bankruptcy and bad credit for many years. We are very grateful and would highly recommended Bryan Kemnitzer to anyone.

Everyone else who I know who has been to court for the same problem as i have has had to do at least a few sessions of driving school and has paid usually twice as much. He knew how to handle the case and through his expertise I was able to get over it with minimal difficulty. Highly recommended

I am a gun owner and retired FFL Dealer aged 64. I was arrested by Local Police at 7pm in November while resting at home taking care of my elderly mother who suffers from dementia. I was charged with improper storage of a firearm despite the fact that I have a class A LTC. Several months later I was brought in by constables on numerous false allegations contained in a warrant sent to my old address. Frank Yee Jr.Esq approached me where I sat shackled hands and legs in the basement of the courthouse and said. "I see that you have Cerebral Palsy on your financial form. The Police are trying to screw you. I am going to put a stop to it right now". He did just that. I had two other lawyers who were unable to deal with my case. Things dragged on as a result for several years. I was financially and otherwise a wreck. I paid Frank with a credit card and he got all the charges dismissed. I recommend him highly.

Mr. Xenos consulted my partner and me through a potential real estate and restaurant purchase. The deal was complicated due to the number of parties involved and the standing of the current owner with the bank and tenants with the state. He concisely laid out the different ways we could approach the issues and what the risks and benefits of each would be. Elias was invaluable in our decision making process. I will consult with Elias next time the need arises.

I retained Mr. Xenos to handle a complex business dispute involving many parties. I needed a lawyer who had an expert command of not just litigation strategies, but also contracts, bankruptcy, and business acquisitions. That's why I chose Mr. Xenos, and he did not disappoint. I have used many lawyers in my life, but none demonstrated a greater level of professionalism, sincerity, and efficiency than Mr. Xenos. Best of all, his representation ending up costing considerably less than the budget we had established at the outset of the representation. I would highly recommend to anyone in the Metro Detroit area.

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.

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.
