We had a Real Estate Financing issue. We had a hard time finding an Attorney that was familiar with the specific laws. We found Mr. Levy by accident. In any case we are really glad we did. We had lots of questions and Mr. Levy was very patient answered them all. He advised us of all our options, explained them all to us. We were able to make informed decision. Mr. Levy found a resolution that would work in our situation. We can sleep again and we are so grateful. WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND MR. LEVY. He is experienced, Very Patient and Knowledgeable.

Mr. Rezvanpour is an outstanding human being beyond just a well-versed, top-tier attorney. From the very moment we engaged, he treated me equally even in law specific matters, and came with a presumption of the best of me as a client. When felt that I found something in the statute, he nonchalant asked: "Do you have a different reading of the law?" without complacency or conceit and in equity and collegiality. Mr. Rezvanpour will listen as an equal partner which is a unique quality shining bright among the legal community, and with his experience, he will be ready to fill in gaps where one gets lost. I recommend Mr. Rezvanpour as human being of exceptional intellect, wisdom and humbleness who happens to be an outstanding lawyer. This is something you can't buy for money; it's either there or not. Mr. Rezvanpour is one of the honorable bearers.

Sina was kind enough to open his office on Christmas Eve so I could come in to get my settlement check. He fought for nearly my two years for me and my case! The insurance company offered pennies on the dollar for what my case was really worth. When it was all said and done, Sina got nearly double what we discussed was my bottom line! Call him. Meet him. Judge for yourself. I have no doubt you’ll know he’s the real deal after meeting him.

Julianna was recommended to us. In our initial consultation my husband and I felt very secure in moving forward with a restatement of our trust. Everything was explained thoroughly, conversation was easy, questions were answered clearly, and when we came in to sign the documents were were astonished that this new document was by far a more thorough and better organized document than our former trust document. Julianna'a knowledge, and her friendly, assuring demeanor made us feel like we were her only clients. I have recommended Julianna's qualities and capabilities to many others who I knew could benefit from her thoroughness in carrying out the services she offers. My husband and I look forward to a long relationship with Anacapa Law.

If you are looking for an attorney, I HIGHLY recommend Tony Stuart. I cannot say enough good things about Tony Stuart and his work and knowledge of the law. I hired Mr. Stuart a few years ago to take on a large insurance company that I wanted to sue for fraud, misrepresention, et cetera. Tony took on my case and I was so impressed with his work, his diligence, and the way he worked with me and explained things to me. He found out amazing things in his investigations and worked hard for me. We settled out of court and Tony got me $1.7 million! If you want a good, competent, no-nonsense, no BS attorney, I suggest you call Mr Stuart, and I say this not only as his client, but as a court reporter. I have been a deposition/court reporter in this town for over 20 years and I can say without hesitation that Mr. Stuart is one of the better attorneys I have seen get the job done. If I ever need an attorney again, I would most definitely call him again.

We were referred to Tony, who's in LA, by an attorney that I personally knew that's local. We were extremely pleased. He worked extremely hard on our case, kept us informed along the way, worked well with witnesses, and was compassionate about my health issues. He connects well with a jury. He also does a very good job of explaining - you feel like you know what is going on every step of the way.

In the six year battle with my health insurance company over unpaid claims, I had no better ally than Tony Stuart. Through hours and hours of depositions, fruitless mediations all the way through to the final settlement negotiation, Tony stayed positive and encouraging, even when I wanted to give up. Without his hard work, attention to detail, and years of experience fighting these same cases, we would not have been able to come to an agreement that worked for both parties. I can't thank him enough for being in my corner in a fight that was almost nearly as tough as beating cancer.

He is able to grasp and explain complicated documents and filings to me and takes the time to do so. He always returns my calls or contacts me in some way, when I have questions. I appreciate his business ethics and am so thankful that he represents me because without him I would not have faith that we would prevail in our litigation.

Adam Hoover has represented me in two matters, and I cannot speak highly enough of him. In a business related matter that was extremely stressful, Adam was accessible, always returned phone calls promptly, and helped me to feel confident that my case was in the right hands. He resolved the matter quickly and positively for me. In a second case, a family matter, Adam went to work quickly to provide me with necessary resources and provide the same knowledgeable, competent help he had in the first case. This case was also resolved quickly and better than I had anticipated. Adam has a strong work ethic, an excellent knowledge of the law, and passion for justice. I highly recommend him!

I have been in the unfortunate position of having to pursue litigation several times in my career when my property has been damaged. A silver lining in this cloudy process has been the opportunity to work with Adam Hoover. In my experience, stretching back over more than six years and multiple cases, Adam has consistently demonstrated excellent performance on many levels. While by and large, all lawyers have attended law school and passed the bar examination, not all of them have legal minds which innately grasp, interpret and apply the law to the set of facts particular to a given case. This quality is more than simply an enviable skill; it bears directly upon a client's experience during the litigation experience and ultimately the cost burden born by the client. This manifests in reductions of redundant work, excessive research and surplus discovery. In addition to the time and cost savings associated with thoroughly understanding issues and applicable laws in a case, Adam is mindful of the financial burden costly litigation places on clients. I never felt that Adam “nickel and dimed" me or overbilled me in any way. In fact, I know he is very conservative with his time keeping and while accurate, certain items on the bill are marked "no charge". Adam clearly places my best interest, as a client, as his top priority. He has demonstrated a consistent willingness to try to win my cases early in the lawsuit lifecycle. He has achieved an impressive level of success to those ends. That not only saves me the cost of protracted discovery and trials in some instances, but also allows me to devote my efforts to growing my business rather than litigating. Although he could bill three or four times more fees by taking a case through discovery and trial, he places his ethical obligation to zealously represent me above his personal profit motive. The last but certainly not least important area where Adam has distinguished himself in my experience is his accessibility. Even when he has other cases going to trial or experiencing a producing a heavy workload he still responds quickly to messages I leave and takes the time to answer my questions. Due to his outstanding legal ability, conscientious regard for his client’s well being and high ethical standards, i have, and will continue to recommend him to my friends and associates who find themselves in need of representation and can’t afford to lose.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

What was the problem that you had before you called our law firm? I had many issues with my Vehicle but most of all trying to get a call back from an attorney was the hardest thing. So many out of area attorneys not very helpful was the WORST!!!!! Why did you pick our law firm over all the other lemon law firms? I picked SAN DIEGO LEMON LAW, PC because not only did they answer my call the first time but they were extremely knowledgeable, professional but most of all caring and compassionate to my situation. What did we do for you? SAN DIEGO LEMON LAW, PC helped be through my case, answered all my questions but most of all they did the right thing and got me what was owed to me. What was the outcome?

I bought a factory-certified 2017 Kia Sorento in fall 2018 from a local dealer. In June 2023 at 55,000 miles, I first noticed a burnt oil smell when driving my car. The Kia developed an oil consumption problem and started burning 1-quart of oil internally each week, without any external visible trace. I took my car to the Carlsbad Kia dealer, who performed all the service on it, and explained this latest problem. I brought it there several times through the end of 2023, hoping for resolution. While still under factory warrant, the dealer said there was little they could do for me. They advised me to drive the car until the engine died and gave me the phone number to report my problem to Kia America HQ. Likewise, Kia America pushed back and said I need to resolve it through the dealer. Feeling frustrated, I filed a complaint with the federal highway agency, NHTSA. In January 2024, a family member had problems with a new hybrid Jeep Wrangler he bought and enlisted help from San Diego Lemon Law attorney Doug Sohn. That family member encouraged me to contact Doug’s office to see if they could also help my case. In late January, I followed-up and filed an inquiry on the law firm’s website. One week later, they contacted me to set up an initial background call with attorney Doug Sohn. I explained the whole problem to Doug who said he’d research this problem with other Kia owners and report back to me if he felt we had a valid case. In February, Doug contacted me after his research, he felt I had a valid claim and agreed to take my case. We held a brief follow-up call to review how their firm proceeds on these cases, how valuation of my vehicle and their compensation works, and sent me forms to sign. His staff asked me to submit several documents about my purchase of the car, title, service receipts, etc. Two weeks later, Doug provided me with initial draft of his letter to Kia America, outlining my case as supported by his research of this oil problem with Kia and Hyundai vehicles. His letter requested that they buy back my car, based on my damaged engine and unreliability of the frequent need for oil. In April, my relative settled his claim with Jeep through Doug’s help and received full reimbursement for his problematic new vehicle. In May, we received Kia’s acceptance of Doug’s proposal to buy back my Kia Sorento. I was overjoyed, with a great sense of relief on that news. The law firm warned me that Kia is not the fastest to resolve these cases and said it would take about 120 days to be completed. As I drove the car for another four months, I kept replenishing oil into the engine every 1 to 2 weeks based on my driving. The car was becoming more unreliable, and it actually blew a cylinder during my last month of ownership. By October, Kia finally arranged a date for me turn-in my car at the local Kia dealer, working with a 3rd party firm who handles these arrangements for Kia America. In early November, the law firm received payment from Kia, and Doug sent my check for agreed settlement amount. Overall, I was extremely pleased with the law firm’s detailed follow-through and steady communication. The staff kept me informed regularly on the progress of my claim. If you have a ‘lemon’ problem with your vehicle, I highly recommend contacting San Diego Lemon Law Attorney. Doug Sohn has decades of experience dealing with auto makers on their defective vehicles, and he’ll fight on your behalf to make it right for you! You’ll lay out No Funds for their service, as they are reimbursed by the auto manufacturers. Client: Harv Jaffe, Oceanside CA

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.

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!!!

She expertly selected the pertinent issues that mattered to the court and conveyed them in a professional manner, which led to a favorable resolution. I think Therese excels because she is not only very thorough in her research of the law, but she is compassionate and truly cares for her clients. She provided me with a very honest assessment of my case, presenting both the risks and benefits of various strategies and explaining the possible outcomes, whether good or bad.

I was rear ended by a pickup truck pretty badly and was injured. I was recommended to attorney Joseph by a friend who used him in the past and gave him a call. Joseph was very patient from day one and throughout the process, who took about three-four months. After hiring him he sent me to his chiro and dealt directly with the insurnace. When the insurance wanted a recorded statement from me, which got me a little nervous he coached me through it and made it easy. We met face to face just once, when I came to pick up my check. He did a great job and I would highly recommend for someone who was involved in an accident.

The other case he helped was a mediation and we came out with a great outcome on that one as well. When ever i have any sort of legal questions he is there to answer them for me. If he doesn't know or is not in the specialty that he practices he will refer it out to someone that he trusts and can and will take care of the problem.

It was a very difficult situation, as I could not retain an attorney, as the amount involved was too small. Mr. Schultz was very understanding and answered the questions I had in regard to technicalities. I won the case ! I had won already, but the defendant appealed and retained an attorney. It was a very tough fight. I am VERY grateful for the help from Mr. Schultz, who listened very patiently to my questions. Mr. Schultz is very experienced, very hard-working, very diligent, and very honest. He is also very detail-oriented and very attentive. Equally important, he is very compassionate.

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.

  • 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:

  1. What experience do you have with consumer protection law?
    Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases like yours, whether it involves product liability, fraud, or debt collection issues.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a contingency fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case.
  3. What is the likelihood of success for my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and what outcome you can reasonably expect.
  4. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience dealing with similar legal issues, whether it’s credit report disputes, data breaches, or defective products.
  5. What is the timeline for resolving my case?
    While it can be difficult to predict exact timelines, the lawyer should give you a general idea of how long your case may take to resolve.
  6. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your claim.

How to Check the Credibility of a Consumer Protection Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable consumer protection lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Check for experience in consumer protection: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to confirm they specialize in consumer protection law and have handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle consumer protection cases.
  • Look for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to protecting consumer rights.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a consumer protection lawyer, come prepared with all relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Details of the product or service in question: Bring any purchase receipts, warranties, or contracts related to the product or service involved in your claim.
  • Documentation of your complaint: Provide evidence of your complaint, such as email exchanges with the company, photos of a defective product, or a timeline of events related to the dispute.
  • Communication with the business or debt collector: If you’ve communicated with the business or debt collector, bring copies of letters, emails, or phone logs.
  • List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes for your case.
  • Information on damages: Be prepared to discuss any financial losses or harm you’ve suffered as a result of the unfair business practices, including medical bills, lost wages, or emotional distress.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your situation more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed with your case.
