After my father's death I needed an attorney to handle some out-of-state affairs/fraud concerns. I found Jessica Mackaness through AVVO and after doing a free consultation I knew she was a good fit. Jessica is very detailed oriented and thorough. We ended up in mediation and worked with both Jessica and Erik. They were a fantastic team and we were pleased with the outcome. Smart, hardworking, and great communicators. And wonderful to work with even though I was across the country. I can't say enough good things about them.

Mackaness & Ideta legal services are superior. Jessica and Erik provided me amazing service. In a very difficult time, I was assured with the greatest confidence that I had the right people in my corner for support and guidance. I am so glad that I was referred to them!

Jessica and Erik are able to get MORE than what their client wants, which in return becomes a very happy client. Brilliant team, and such good people to work with. So blessed to have met and worked with them.

A broker had placed my mother's retirement savings in several high risk investments that lost value almost immediately. We weren't aware of these investments until after she passed away. David helped my family recover against the firm and they settled before court date.

18 Nov, 2017 by Roger

Our office brought david in to help with investment related problems associated with a large client. He was referred to us by another attorney in San Diego. We were told if David couldn't understand these investments no one could. They were right. He met with us and took his time explaining the best way to handle. The client ended up hiring his firm also. We will be using him again.

20 Jan, 2016 by Daniel

David and Tim have been retained by me for one year to negotiate significant domestic and international settlements, and they have shown and used when doing so the requisite skills which have moved settlements toward favorable results. They are at their best when preparing and evaluating cases, when using appropriate tactics, when using counter measures, when making first offers, when in direct examinations, cross examinations, and when in the examination of expert witnesses. Their writing is marked by being direct and precise, by blending precision with simplicity. David and Tim are particularly sensitive to complex moral situations, where no rule of thumb applies, no simple appeal to a single principle can assure a rational outcome. In such an instance they can be counted on to sort out the conflicting factors to determine what law, rule, or principle bears upon the situation, and what are the relative urgencies which govern a timely action. David and Tim command a family of intellectual traits and abilities which allows them to cope with the unexpected, grasp relations, and solve problems with speed and originality. Especially pronounced among their intellectual traits is their ability to create a congenial, professional relationship with their clients wherein written reports are delivered without fail on a designate date to a designated site to coincide with or be separate from timely discussions. Their work pays close attention to the importance of having everyone on the same page and having the client in charge and fully informed. I am a retired California State Senator who has hired and dealt with a number of skilled attorneys at law in the private and public sector. I have place David and Tim among the best of them and have in writing this statement measured them against this lot. Dan

I am extremely happy with Igor Drabkin. Given my personal situation, I have been working with several attorney's and Igor is the best. He is very compassionate, responsive and knowledgeable about his field. He keeps you informed, he does not "waste" time and most of all he is "on top" of everything. Having Igor on your team creates a comfort level in knowing that things are being taken care of.

20 Oct, 2009 by Anonymous

Sensitive to cost/benefit of arguing with IRS, kept me informed, monitored costs every step of the way.

20 Oct, 2009 by Christopher hanley

Igor has been in my corner the entire time I have been in dispute with the IRS. He knows the in's and out's and contacts within the IRS due to his having been on the inside for them earlier in his career. My case spands a half a decade and not only has he helped me and my family get thru this nightmare but he has also showed me and my family compassion and has never waivered dilegence wise or his belief in my rights as an American citizen. I would not only recommend Igor but would persist that you use him either for individual tax liability or corporate liability. On top of him never showing doubt of my innocence during my case he actually showed me that his knowledge of the IRS's internal operations and the key players within its system that he can call on to move things along or get my info in front of the right people to make the next decision in my case was to say the least impressive. He is aggresive and he will get the job done and that is all that needs to be said. If you would like to speak with me directly to find out if Igor or his firm is the right fit for you and your needs, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time Igor office has all of my numbers and I would be glad to discuss what he has done for my family, business and quality of life with you.

I had the privilege of working with Xinying Valerian, who represented me during a challenging employment dispute. Her expertise was invaluable in navigating the complexities of pre-litigation, mediation, and EEOC investigations. Xinying’s deep knowledge of employment law, combined with her strategic thinking, made a significant difference in my case. From the beginning, Xinying was thorough in understanding every detail of my situation. She provided clear guidance and was incredibly responsive, keeping me informed and prepared at every step. During mediation and EEOC investigations, her negotiation skills were outstanding, always advocating for my best interests while remaining professional and composed. Xinying’s commitment to achieving a fair outcome was evident throughout the process, and I felt genuinely supported and represented. If you need a compassionate and thoughtful employment attorney who will go above and beyond to protect your rights and secure the best possible result, I wholeheartedly recommend Xinying Valerian. She is a true expert and a dedicated advocate. Thank you, Xinying, for your exceptional work and unwavering support during a difficult time!

My wife and I first hired Kevan in 2014 to established our Will and Testament. We met with Kevan again at the end of 2020, to revisit our many life changes including the purchase of another property and having children. With the many changes in our life over the past 6 years, Kevan walked us through the entire process of not only updating our previous estate planning but also establishing a Revocable Trust, Advance Health Care Directive's, Certificate of Trust and Power of Attorney & Designation of Health Care Agent for Minor Children. Legal terms and the law is confusing to the both of us. Kevan was patient while explaining and helping us to understand our distribution of our personal property, transferring assets to our trust and updating our Beneficiary's on multiple different accounts & policies. Kevan is very intelligent and hard working. He was more than willing to meet with us not only around our work schedules but also around the crazy sleep schedules of our two young children. All of this being via zoom meetings because of the shelter in place during the COVID pandemic. I would recommend Kevan to any family member, friend or neighbor in need of his services.

07 Feb, 2020 by George rose

We had to update our will and trust and Kevan was incredibly helpful, knowledgable and informed. For him it isn't just a "one off," either. He's committed to working with the family as circumstances change. It's a great comfort knowing we have someone we can trust to take care of all these legal and financial issues for us well into the future. He charges by the hour (many lawyers charge a flat fee), but he's so efficient that it ended up costing much less than what larger firms quoted us. Very, very highly recommended.

We had the pleasure of working with Andy for some immigration work relating to permanent residence. He made such a daunting task easy to understand and complete. He was always courteous, positive and very accommodating to our many and sometimes demanding needs. What I appreciate the most was how easy it is to reach him even outside office visits and appointments to answer our many questions and put us at ease. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Andy Le for any law work you might need that fit into his scope of work. You will not be disappointed.

28 Aug, 2015 by Tina

I spoke with Andy on multiple occasions regarding completely different advice. One was for someone that received a DUI and another for a person legally separating with kids involved. Although I know him personally, he was very professional, as he always is. He never gave the impression that "possibly" could happen but more of the statistics to what the outcome may be and that every case is different and special on its own. He is absolutely the go-to-person for any legal matter. I trust his advice 100%. He is also very friendly and attentive to any legal questions you may have.

06 May, 2015 by Van

Andy is one of the most competent lawyers I've met. He helped me sort out my legal problems (immigration and family issues) and followed up to make sure everything was resolved!

Mr Goldstein is the most trustworthy attorney I every had to work with (and I know a few) and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an excellent hardworking attorney.

Bill worked hard for us and helped get us a judgement from the contractor who took money from us without doing the work. I would recommend Bill, if I ever need an Attorney again. He is thorough and reasonable, as far as his pay is concerned.

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!!!

23 Jul, 2016 by Steve

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). More than that, I really appreciate their follow-up for loan paid-off from the dealer. Highly recommend Glassey Smith!

08 Apr, 2016 by Mark

I have had experience with five different attorneys over the course of ten years for various cases and litigation (including a successful federal lawsuit against a school district) Glassey-Smith is the finest law firm I have ever retained. The communication of these attorneys sets a standard for excellence. The manner in which my case was settled was precise and expedient. Sharon is an outstanding communicator and was so on top of everything all the time. So thankful I found this law firm and highly recommend! Thank you, Sharon!

Elizabeth Green is an exceptional attorney. When our medical insurance denied coverage for over $100,000 for our child's necessary medical treatment, Elizabeth stepped in. With her help, we appealed and secured significant reimbursement. Despite other companies specializing solely in appeals, we chose Elizabeth for her ability to craft powerful appeals and readiness to litigate if needed. Throughout the process, she demonstrated thorough preparation, compiling crucial information into a compelling brief. I highly recommend her and would enlist her services again if needed.

07 Nov, 2023 by Ron

It's a it challenging to write a review when you can't provide specifics about the nature of our business with Elizabeth Green, but we contacted her firm at the recommendation of our doctor when our insurance provider refused to cover a medically necessicary hospital stay. The outcome was positive, and we were amazed how little we had to contribute to the process. I hope never to have to use Elizabeth Green's services again, but should I find myself being taken advantage of by my insurance provider again, we'll definetely reach out to Elizabeth Green.

20 Aug, 2023 by Anonymous

Elizabeth was so tremendously helpful from day one in providing guidance and support through a mental health based case. Elizabeth was so kind and compassionate and I felt she was not only invested in supporting me through my case but in my overall well being.

I met Douglas through a referral by my friend. I never thought I would be needing his help but when my vehicle (SUV) gave me headaches , I said I must call Douglas. The minute I told him my case and the times my van broke down, he was eager and was really willing to help me. I told him that I needed to talk to my husband first and so, we patiently waited for him. Though my husband was a bit irritable because I was stuck again in the repair shop for the fifth time, Douglas didn't lose his professionalism. He was giving us advice in a professional way. When the case was going on, he gave us updates from time to time and we were very thankful that he was very transparent with us. He didn't gave any false hope but he ensured us that he will do his best. We are still waiting for the result of the case but we are positive that it will be on our favor. Thank you Douglas! Good luck to your team!

I have just taken possession of my dream car which became a reality due to the expert and uncompromising legal representation afforded by my attorney Douglas Donald Law of the Law Offices Douglas D.

Very skillful. Also very knowledgeable about the nature of our problem and likely outcome of our dispute.

16 Aug, 2010 by Anonymous

Throughout the course of our litigation, Mr. Ostwald was extremely considerate of our plight. We had never been involved in any legal matters previous to our lawsuit so it was an extremely trying and difficult time. We were always kept up to date and totally informed. He made the whole "nightmare" tolerable. Part of our case was an area of law that he was not familiar with, i.e., equine law. His knowledge of medical malpractice was exceptional and he was able to combine the two areas with ease. All I can say is that he did his "homework" and did an exceptional job in the courtroom representing us.

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.

Erik has represented me as my business attorney for a little over a year and a half now. I have been involved in a very complex litigation dispute with my business partner and Erik has been extremely helpful throughout this entire process. I honestly don't know where to begin. He is professional, honest, trustworthy, strategic, knowledgable, thoughtful and sincere. He truly cares about his clients and their situations in the sense that he makes himself available to them 24/7 for emails and phone calls. In the military, we like to use the term "fire-and-forget" to describe professionals such as Erik. I would literally tell him my objectives and desired outcomes while involved in litigation and I could just forget about it regardless of how stressful the situation was because I know that Erik would get the job done and far surpass my every expectation in doing so. I am proud to have him on my side and would highly recommend him!

He explained everything in a simple manner to where my wife and I had few questions for him. Everything was organized in a manner that is simple and very straightforward.

I had questions about my inheritance taxes and setting up a will. Kevin explained estate and gift taxes to me and helped me figure out that wasn't much of a concern. He explained things in a way I could understand and didn’t try to scare me like other attorneys had. I ended up setting up a trust with him and will be back whenever I have an issue.

I was recently in a difficult--and frankly, scary--dispute with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others. I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably. If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

Mr. Saavedra is a confident and resourceful attorney that has remained a consultant on my case for 9 months. The associates he has introduced me to have been invaluable in my legal battle and his follow through is greatly valued. My late father also told me that Mr. Saavedra got him through a tough business audit, that he did not think he would have been able to resolve without his expert knowledge on the IRS and taxes.

06 Jan, 2013 by Amare

I had an audit with the IRS and my friend refered me to Mr. Cruz. The service I received from Mr. cruz was excellent and I didn't even have to see IRS at all. He took care everything with one letter.

Cruz is a very knowledgable, kind and trustworthy attorney. It has been years since I needed him, but frequently call with questions and he is happy to assit me. Any person with a tax issue would be smart to use his services. I went to 3 other tax attorneys before I was referred to Cruz by a friend. He was the only attorney with a different approach and was able to solve problems quickly.

My case was complicated. I made a purchase at a dealership and I was scammed. I first contacted Frank Fredrick Daugherty Jr in July and the case was settled by October. In these short three and a half months, my lawyer did everything in his power to settle my issue according and I received more than I ever thought I would. Communication and cooperation were never an issue during the process.

21 Oct, 2018 by Mostafa

If you are a business owner like me, then you have to have a strong and knowledgeable attorney on your side. Mr. Frank Daugherty has always saved the day for our business, from the simplest legal consultation to contracts, collections, or full legal representation. I don't think that I can ever find any other attorney with higher level of integrity and professionalism. And it gets even better by having Mr. Yaser Ibrahim in the office as well with superior level of professionalism and amazing knowledge of all business aspects. I strongly recommend having this "dream team" on your side.

Lou knows auto purchase contract law backwards and forwards and inside out. He got me out of a horrible purchase contract with ease and got all my money back (and then some!) He's fast, tough and responsive. Couldn't possibly have been happier with the representation I received.

13 Jan, 2016 by Anonymous

Lou saved us, we were taken advantage of by the dealer finance company and Lou had their game! No other attorney could have turned things around for us the way Lou did, that much I know. He was onto every game they played from the warranty we did not know they snuck into the contract to the shady finance practices. It was humbling to realize how we'd been taken advantage of without knowing it, but thanks to Lou, st the end of the day, we didn't have to eat humble pie. The dealership and finance company got their just desserts instead! Thanks Lou!!!

07 Oct, 2015 by Anonymous

I purchased a car on a Monday night. Not even 12 hours later I got into a car accident and totaled the car. Days later the Car dealership opted to cancel the contract and was giving me the hardest time. I did some research and came a cross Lou's contact information. When he did contact me he was beyond helpful. Lou advised me of all of my rights and assured me that he would help me to get through my situation FREE OF CHARGE! I appreciate you Lou!

Got pulled over for expired registration tag and lead to a DUI Check which i had barely drank and being in Irvine with IPD doesn't help much either, as they push and push with their aggressive tactics to get you to do all they ask. Even when the odds were against me I was referred to him by a friend and to say the least he comforted me during the whole process and was very responsive and always checked in with me. Great lawyer for any criminal defence you need. I HIGHLY recommend him for anyone in Orange County! and if it wasn't obvious my case was dismissed. Thank you

16 Jul, 2013 by Mike

I received a DUI, even though I don't think I was drunk. I was pulled over after leaving a club in Hollywood. The officer pulled me over and said I was driving too fast and then continued to do a sobriety check on me. I hired Masih and he represented me from the DMV hearing all the way to the trial. My case was resolved without a DUI due to Masih's work. I never thought they'd drop the case, Masih got them to!!! I highly recommend him, he was worth more than I paid him!

I can't recommend Elliott Kanter enough! He was always there for us during a trying time. He is very patient, comforting and never put out by our constant questions concerning our case.

I was very satisfied with the way Mr. Kanter handled my medical case. I believe I was given accurate information about the possible outcome and the Mr. Kanter represented me as well as possible. I have had the opportunity to do some business with Mr. Kanter recently, in another capacity and still believe him to be fair and to fight for his clients to the best of his and their ability. I have given his name to others who are looking for an attorney and would call him again, if I needed an attorney. Mr. Kanter does not forget his clients when the case has concluded.

I can not say enough great things about Tony. He is smart, not pretentious, always got back to me right away. He is motivated and will work to get the best possible outcome. Very nice, approachable but tough as needed with the other side. I thank him for the second chance he was able to get for my son.

I had a difficult case, one in which other legal offices were affraid to take on. Antony Myers listened to my legal problem, and navigated a professional direction that gave a fair outcome for all parties involved. His dedication, training, knowledge and experience as a lawyer created an expeditious and favorable resolution to my legal problems.

Tony handled a DUI for me, which he resolved very quickly at relatively low cost with a very favorable result. His experience as a DA makes him a natural criminal defense attorney and I found his work on my case to be nothing less than excellent.

Meiram's background and experience make him uniquely qualified to help families coping with mental health insurance issues. He is a very strategic thinker with a deep understanding of both the mental health system and mental health insurance industry. He was always very prompt, clear, and direct in his communications. He has a strong understanding of what levers to push and when during negotiations. We are very happy with the process and outcome.

Our insurance company denied our daughter's medical claims for mental health services. Her doctor's and therapists highly recommended treatment. We decided to pay for her treatment ourselves, not knowing if we would ever receive reimbursement. Luckily, we found Meiram Bendat. He immediately understood the complexities and nuances of the situation; he is an expert in mental health parity law. He got in touch with the appropriate parties, conducted settlement discussions professionally, and achieved a favorable settlement outside of court. Needless to say, we are thrilled. Not only because of the financial reimbursement we received, but because, through his assistance, together, we were able to raise awareness of the misconduct of the insurance company. Thank you again, Meiram!

We hired Attorney Bendat during a very difficult time in our lives. Everything we were dealing with was new and quite frankly, frightening. From the moment we hired Attorney Bendat, that all changed. Not only did he win everything, he did so while keeping me informed at every turn. I am an Attorney and that offers me a unique vantage point, I can say with complete certainty that if you find yourself in a position to need his services, you will not regret hiring him.

Debra represented me in a partnership issue for my company. She was thorough and professional as well as mindful of potential migration into a long drawn out dispute. She assisted in guiding the situation into an agreeable outcome while ensuring all the legal components were addressed and resolved in an amicable manner.

I worked with Debra where I was the third party in a case that went on for 4 years (It was a lot line dispute) Debra did a phenomenal job of managing the case, keeping me up to date and keeping the costs reasonable. After for years and having it appealed twice, we won... everything. Could not recommend her more highly.

Ms. Tipton was extremely helpful, thorough, professional and friendly not only in her manner, but in her expertise as well. She chose to represent me in an accident case where I was rear-ended in a company vehicle, but not work related. Complicated indeed with no one wanting to take responsibility. On THE final day for me to find representation, she accepted where 6 other Lawyers declined! I was extremely lucky and blessed that she took it on, and I could not have asked for a better Lawyer. Everything went smoothly and I was very pleased with the results. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Debra Tipton if you are in need of a Professional Lawyer.

I was involved in a car accident that left me in the hospital for multiple days due to a major head injury. I was highly recommended to speak to Charles Prenice by a close friend. Charles is highly knowledgeable, efficient and very professional. I speak highly of Charles work and would strongly advise anyone to contact him for his insight and guidance.

Charles represented me in my auto accident. He negotiated successfully with my insurance company to get me a settlement, without ever having to go to court. His expertise and knowledge of the system helped me to feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would definitely use him again!

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.

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.
