Jacob Levine was an absolute miracle for me and my family. I was facing a lawsuit, just as I was dealing with the impact of criminal charges. I was broken, depressed and full of the fears of the unknown. I was without representation, and by some fantastic miracle my former lawyer, who could no longerrepresent me, referred Jacob to me. I called him and right away I could tell he was very knowledgeable. He offered to help with my situation, and he came up with a plan quickly. I was impressed with how well he understood the process and his negotiation skills. He is a very kind and empathetic person, and he genuinely cares about his clients. I would highly recommend that if you or anyone you know is in need of a great lawyer. Contact Jacob Levine.

I was referred to Harmony Law, and I’m very thankful for that referral. I had a terrible experience with a contractor that had done work on my house. Brandon guided me through my legal options and was very professional, yet assertive, with opposing counsel. We were able to settle the issues outside of court, and he always had my best interest in mind. If you’re in need of legal counsel, I highly recommend Brandon Harmony at Harmony Law!

I think this is the first time I have used a law firm to resolve issues with regard to what I felt was a serious and breach of trust and negative performance from a financial manager. From the moment I contacted MeyerWilson, I was always treated with what felt like genuine respect and real interest in my situation. I had some changes of personnel during it all, but the new people were equally respectful and competent which made everything feel seamless. Being my first time to work with a law firm on this type of issue I was constantly surprises at both the competence, skills, respect, thoroughness, and the pleasant ease the experience was. I highly recommend both the firm and their unusually qualified and helpful people working there.

Outstanding Divorce/Child Custody Lawyer – Highly Recommend! My case involved a divorce with children, filed by my ex-husband who lives in Ohio, while I reside in Minnesota. Despite my ex-husband and his lawyer insisting that the case should include child custody and be handled in Ohio, Catherine, who was well-versed in child custody laws, raised a key issue: under the UCCJEA (Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act), Ohio did not have jurisdiction over the children. The opposing party continued to push for a trial involving both the divorce and child custody in Ohio, even though this was legally improper. Ultimately, Catherine and I prevailed, as it was determined that Ohio lacked jurisdiction over the children under the UCCJEA. As a result, the divorce was finalized without any decisions made about custody, which would be addressed in Minnesota instead. I am so grateful for the exceptional legal support I received from Catherine during my divorce. Going through such a difficult and emotional time was incredibly stressful, but she made the entire process so much easier to navigate. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, Catherine was there every step of the way, providing not only expert legal advice but also compassionate support. Catherine truly understands the emotional complexities of divorce and handled my case with both professionalism and sensitivity. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and ensure I understood every step of the legal process. I always felt like my needs and best interests were a top priority. I also appreciated how responsive she was throughout the process. Whether it was a quick question or a more urgent matter, Catherine was always quick to respond and kept me updated on any developments in my case. If you’re looking for a divorce and child custody lawyer who is both experienced and empathetic, I highly recommend Catherine. She made a difficult experience more manageable, and I am deeply thankful for the support and expertise she provided.

We closed out my case in a way I could have never imagined and I’m so grateful to have found him as he helped bring a close to what was a very painful experience, while keeping my values and the importance of my integrity in mind.

I was injured in an accident and didn't have any insurance information from the other person involved. I filed a police report and Dennis was able to obtain a video of the accident I was injured in, which I would not have had access to, that supported my claim. He kept me informed throughout the process and gave me the confidence that he was truly working for my best interest not just for his fee. My case was at the same time that my father started having sever health problems and past away, Dennis and his staff were caring and I knew that the case was being taken care of and I could concentrate on the needs of my parents. My husband and I realized that the law is not our strong suit and that hiring Dennis was a great decision.

Dennis Yacobozzi was personable, genuine, and took the time to actually listen. He mentioned following-up with referrals since it was not his area of practice. His office promptly followed-up with the referrals. In my opinion, this office has more than great ratings. I also "heard" an attorney that will "genuinely" care about his clients which is a rare combination.

David Abromowitz was the lawyer I hired to help set up my IV Hydration and Vitamin Infusion business. He charged me quadruple what was discussed (quoted me 3.5-5K - charged me over 20K and I paid a final amount of OVER 12k - astronomical amount) and took 3 times as long to complete the job. Three other nurses in my coaching group (NursePreneurs) had similar experiences with him and another nurse, coincidentally, came forward today from a different IV Hydration/Vitamin Infusion business reporting the same story. RNs - be warned! He is dishonest and will overcharge you! I notified the BBB but his response was "I'm sorry she didn't understand". You and I both know the truth, Mr. Abromowitz. You were intentionally dishonest. It's people like you that give lawyers a bad name. All these RNs trusted you, I trusted you. Despite your lawyerly response to this review - you and I know the truth.

Very unprofessional. I paid Jessica $350; all she did was eat her breakfast, and she gave me some paperwork. She was too rude even to answer any questions and never answered my calls after the original consultation . She then claimed to have sent me several emails and demanded that I answer her (her way to get rid of me as a client) to sever her services; at this point, I realized it was best to cut my losses and get a lawyer who cared. Please don't waste your time with this one; she is a high-priced waste of your time.

I consulted with Doug mid-court action. While I have no complaint about my previous attorney, I really appreciated Doug's ability to explain the issues at hand. It was so refreshing, comforting and he definitely went beyond my expectations in terms of effort. The court action I was involved in was stressful several unexpected roadblocks to winning. While he wasn't magic and couldn't erase those, he did provide a great analysis of their weaknesses so I was able to get a decent settlement. He would definitely be my first choice if I ever need future representation!

We were extremely lucky to find Ed after interviewing 4 other law firms. He guided us through our litigation with a true passion and strategic thinking every step of the way. His in depth knowledge, experience, ability to crank up the pressure while also seeking reasonable dialogue and outcomes was extraordinary and just what we needed as we went through the protracted legal process. As a true compliment to his abilities, we were only one of three plaintiffs in our case, and it was unanimously concluded that Ed should be the lead attorney representing all three parties' interests as well as the primary interface with the defendants. One more thing about Ed - nobody in the courtroom will ever be more prepared. And with all of the unexpected variables that come into play in a court case, that preparation proved to always be a difference maker. It made us appear even more credible and professional and enhanced our aura in all appearances in the court.

Kate assisted me with handling very substantial employment tax liabilities. I owned a small LLC in Columbus, Ohio. Kate assisted me in understanding the nature and extent of my liabilities. She corresponded directly with the IRS Revenue Officer who was assigned to collect on these liabilities. She had a good working relationship with the IRS Revenue Officer and she seemed to be highly respected amongst the collection division personnel in Columbus. In addition to working with the local Revenue Officer, Kate also assisted me in submitting an Offer in Compromise for my personal tax liabilities (including the trust fund recovery penalties assessed from my business). With Kate’s help, I was able to substantially reduce the amount that I owed to the IRS. I was able to pay this over to the IRS and get the tax liens released. Kate was very professional, understanding, and prompt in handling my matter. PS. My liabilities were in excess of 100k and I netted out only paying 30k. AWESOME job Attorney Kate Dodson

That was my lucky day because it was the beginning of the end of years of nightmares. In couple weeks, these young lawyers put time, energy and skills to solve the issue and save me from eviction. And all that at reasonable cost. I will definitely go back to them and refer friends. Thanks gentlemen for your help.

I went to Mr. Taps for help straightening out poor estate planning by another lawyer. The estate was somewhat complex due to a late-life marriage and a husband who had recently had strokes and been diagnosed with dementia. For 3 1/2 years now, Mr. Taps has been consistently the best lawyer I have ever worked with. Some of the things I value: He is easily accessible and responsive. He has excellent ability to grasp complexity quickly and a phenomenal memory for newly introduced detail. He has allowed me to participate as much or as little as I want. He is willing to educate me (and my son) in addition to advising. I attribute the successful Medicaid appeals he has made on my husband's and my behalf to the depth and excellence of his understanding of the law. In addition, his recommendations are realistic but he still lets me know the range of my options so that I can participate in the decision-making process. He is at all times professional, calm, respectful, firm but not overbearing, and reliable. What is also very impressive is that he is persistent; I feel he not only cares about the outcome but is personally invested in it as if it were his own. In my experience, that is unusual and a real treasure. It is has also been very reassuring. My respect and admiration extend beyond him himself to his staff and associates whom I have met. He maintains outstanding office help and has been capable and willing to refer me to equally competent advisers in other areas as needed. While I look forward to working with Mr. Taps for the foreseeable future, I have no qualms about his giving my heirs excellent assistance when they need it. I have recommended him unreservedly to a number of people. Richard T. Taps is across the board the best!

I consulted with Ms. Marnie Lambert regarding the disputed value of my retirement account that was rolled over from my employer's 401K to my personal 401K brokerage account. Ms. Lambert was reachable and responsive, and had a genuine interest in my personal success. Her expert and caring consult helped guide me to a very favorable outcome without having to go to arbitration. And, if arbitration was needed, I was secure and confident that Ms. Lambert was the best attorney to arbitrate my case for me.

I retained Mark and his team to represent my interests related to a very complicated civil matter potentially worth several million dollars. The amount of preparation for trial was extensive and lengthy, however the outcome was well worth it. I felt throughout the process my interests were well protected. I couldn't have asked for a more competent attorney and have since referred numerous clients. In my business I deal with hundreds of law firms across the US and Mark's firm is well within the top 5 firms I have ever dealt with, either professionally or personally.

The first time I met Mark and his partner, my first impression was that they were the standard run of the mill lawyers and would do a solid job. I had no idea what to expect just that they were highly recommended. I am glad to say I was very wrong about these two! First class all the way. Mark has been named one of the best lawyers in the nation. It is and continues to be a well deserved title. I never felt I was being ignored, or lied to in anyway. If I ever felt overwhelmed and upset, Mark got me refocused and back on track. We seen it through to the end and I am glad we did. While I hope I don't have to work with him again on another case, I definitely would have no qualms and would do it again in a heartbeat. Mark and his staff took care of me and I can not be more thankful for it.

And I must share with you that I have no regrets having you for my lawyer, today I must tell you my friends that with them today I have everything, my VAWA has just approved and the rest is to come.

I had a very disappointing experience with Yazdani Law, LLC, Columbus, OH. Despite paying for their services in full, they mishandled my case by submitting incorrect documentation, leading to delays and unnecessary stress during the visa process. To make matters worse, they demanded extra money beyond the agreed-upon contract amount, claiming it was for unforeseen circumstances—issues that should have been anticipated with proper diligence. Their lack of accountability and professionalism was evident throughout. They acted as if they were providing a free service, despite the significant fees I paid. Instead of acknowledging their errors, they attempted to mask their mistakes by blaming and suppressing. I do not recommend this lawyer or firm to anyone seeking reliable immigration assistance.

An Unstoppable Advocate – Kia Fights for Her Clients! I cannot say enough great things about Kia and the incredible work she has done for me and my children. From the moment she took on my case, she was relentless in ensuring that every detail was handled with precision and care. Litigation is never easy, and when things took a turn for the worse, Kia stepped in and made sure that my paperwork was solid and in my favor. What truly sets her apart is her resilience. She didn’t care she challenged the court she was going to keep approaching the bench until we got what we needed. The judge wasn’t trying to hear the matter, but that didn’t stop her. She went as far as to request a hearing just to make sure we didn’t leave that courthouse without a resolution. Her intelligence, persistence, and dedication were unmatched. As a Black woman attorney, it would have been easy for her to let ego or frustration take over, to throw her hands up and walk away when the court was being rigid and unwilling to listen. But instead, she showed incredible fortitude, humility, integrity, and character. She stayed the course, refusing to give up, even when it was clear the process wasn’t designed to be flexible or creative. I know without a doubt that things could have gone so much worse if not for her determination. Kia is not just a lawyer—she is an advocate, a fighter, and someone who truly cares. If you need an attorney who won’t back down and will stand up for you no matter what, she is the one you want in your corner. I am beyond grateful for her, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of strong, compassionate legal representation.

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You

A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.

Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.

When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:

  • Fraud or deceptive business practices: If a company misled you into purchasing a product or service under false pretenses, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.
  • Defective products: If you purchased a product that was unsafe or defective and caused harm, a lawyer can help you file a product liability claim.
  • False advertising or unfair pricing: A lawyer can assist if you were misled by deceptive advertising or charged for services or products in a way that violates consumer laws.
  • Debt collection harassment: If you're being harassed by debt collectors or are facing illegal debt collection practices, a consumer protection lawyer can enforce your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
  • Credit report issues: If errors on your credit report are affecting your financial standing, a lawyer can help you resolve disputes with credit reporting agencies or creditors under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
  • Predatory lending practices: If you've been subjected to unfair loan terms or practices by payday lenders or mortgage companies, a lawyer can help you challenge the loan and seek a resolution.
  • Data breaches or identity theft: If your personal information was compromised due to a company’s failure to protect your data, a lawyer can help you recover damages related to the breach.

What Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Do?

A consumer protection lawyer provides a wide range of services to help protect consumers' rights and seek compensation for harms caused by businesses. Their role may include:

  • Filing lawsuits: Representing clients in lawsuits against businesses that have violated consumer protection laws, whether through fraud, deceptive practices, or negligence.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with businesses or their insurers to negotiate fair compensation for damages caused by unfair practices or defective products.
  • Pursuing class action lawsuits: When a company harms multiple consumers, a lawyer can represent a group of plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit, seeking collective damages.
  • Advising on consumer rights: Helping clients understand their rights under various consumer protection laws and advising on the best course of action.
  • Handling product liability claims: Representing clients who have been injured by defective products and holding manufacturers or retailers accountable for the harm caused.
  • Defending against debt collection harassment: Enforcing the rights of consumers under the FDCPA and other laws that protect individuals from abusive or unlawful debt collection tactics.
  • Resolving credit report disputes: Helping clients correct errors on their credit reports that may be causing financial harm or affecting their creditworthiness.

How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?

Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:

  • Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
  • Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.

It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a consumer protection lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal service required. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fee cases: For cases handled on a contingency basis, the lawyer typically takes between 25% and 40% of any settlement or damages awarded.
  • Hourly rates: Hourly rates for consumer protection lawyers generally range from $150 to $500, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases involving complex legal issues.
  • Flat fees: For specific services like contract reviews or handling a small claims case, flat fees may range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the scope of work.
  • Class actions: In class action cases, fees are often paid out of the settlement or damages awarded, and individual plaintiffs usually do not have to pay upfront.

Make sure to ask for a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to avoid surprises and to understand how much you can expect to pay.

Top Questions to Ask a Consumer Protection Lawyer

Before hiring a consumer protection lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and skills to handle your case effectively. Key questions include:

  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.
