I had a great experience with the NeJame Group. My attorney was Vanessa Braeley. She was very professional, polite, attentive, and informative. She always returned my phone calls and constantly updated me on the status of the case. Vanessa put me at ease and encouraged me to be patient when I grew frustrated of the case. I am glad she did because the final settlement ended up being worth the wait. I am very thankful to her for being so kind and helpful throughout the entire process. I will never seek another attorney's service other than Vanessa. She is definitely the one you want in your corner in a civil matter.

I have dealt with many lawyers over the years, Vanessa is the best that I have dealt with. Even though she has not been practicing for a long time, her understanding of the law and research skills are top notch, you would think she has 30 years of experience when dealing with her. My experience with lawyers is similar to my experience with doctors, they don't get back to you, make you wait, and have limited patience. Vanessa is the opposite. She actually cares about her client, she will email at all times of the day or night, answer questions, text message, and calm nervous clients down. I had a recent experience in Family court, and her compassion will never be forgotten. I am not someone that normally writes reviews, I would suggest hiring her, you can trust her 100%, She can go head to head with any attorney in Florida.

Scott is an awesome criminal attorney. He handles the defense of your case with the utmost professionalism. He represented my son on a mandatory court appearance for a speeding ticket my son received. He was able to get the fine drastically reduced and no community service hours required. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. He is a great civil attorney as well.

Good lawyers are hard to find at any hourly rate. Todd Benson and Shawn McBride do superb work. I have read on many occasions that a high impressive forehead that is wide and clear is indicative of someone that possesses high intellect and great forbearance. See Shawn's photo on his website. Shawn McBride and Todd Benson have been doing a wide range of legal work for my LLC for 3 years. Their firm successfully guided my IT company through a civil lawsuit where both I and one of my employees were deposed. It was a circumstance that was fraught with liability. We received excellent guidance and expect no further ramifications. Further, The R. Shawn McBride Law Firm, PLLC is currently helping me clear up some very complex and touchy ownership issues from the original incorporation of my company. I am currently reading his book BUSINESS BLUNDERS: 10 Dangerous Business Mistakes and How to Protect Your Business So It Can Thrive! and it is chock full of good ideas on how to avoid rather than react to business issues that inevitably arise.

We are regular Americans and have no background in these legal matters. The insurance company created a fraudulent billing situation and was trying to force us to pay thousands to the IRS while they were collecting from the fallacious account for years without our knowledge. The IRS was going to collect from us and thankfully we found Karen J. Lapekas. She was able to get the case dropped against us and now we rightfully own nothing to the IRS. She was very helpful to solve my case quickly.

I had been living with a legal albatross around my neck for about a decade. After confiding with a lawyer friend in Denver, he referred me to Karen Lapekas. We talked and I gave her a retainer. Right away, she started looking into my issue....and (sometimes) chased after me to get the supporting info I had. I'm beyond relieved the issue has been settled thanks to Karen. She is incredibly efficient, communicative and knows her stuff. Now, I'd like her to run the rest of my life! As for honesty??? She's returning part of the retainer she didn't use!!

His professionalism and putting the client first is absolutely on a level I don't know the words to use to explain it. We worked together on what I consider "the worst experience of my life". He listened to me on both a personal and professional level. I can guarantee you, in the future as things arise, Brandon is the attorney I will hire.

I contacted Mike (and Sean) to assist me on a business lawsuit for which I was being deposed in 6 days. We spent over an hour discussing my case. Mike was completely upfront and knowledgable on the deposition process and how we should proceed. Having never been deposed, I was quite nervous before speaking with Mike. He put me at ease and assured me that he would be there to represent me and my business partner so that we presented our case succinctly and accurately to the deposing attorney. He met us early for the meeting, reviewed our documents and took control of the meeting from the beginning. The deposition went smoothly and we were done in less than 90 minutes due to Mike preparing us so well ahead of time. His flat rate was more than reasonable while the service was extraordinary.

It is not oh what is this going to cost me. You can actually talk and work things out without feeling cornered. I had identity theft and was hit with a law suite with a company I did not owe. Matt was easy to talk to and friendly to talk to. This company did not have my address right, and Matt fixed it for me. After being in the hospital for brain surgery like I have and then having identity problems, it was nice to put this behind me.

I had the pleasure of working with Dan for several incidents: The first was with our landlord who was being unresponsive on our 8+ service requests that had not been responded to for over 2 months. Dan offered advice on the best way to get both the landlord and management company to respond and it worked really well! We had people fixing up our rental house within 48 hours! The second time was when we wanted to end our lease early. Again, Dan offered advice on the best way to go about this and we were able to satisfactorily end our lease without extra charges. The third time was when we needed to get our deposit back from our rental company. Dan advised how to approach the landlord and management company and we were able to recover our entire deposit! Dan's positive, can-do attitude made him a pleasure to work with and helped get us results. Thank you sir!

Andrew and Nadia ( legal secretary) were with me every step of a 3 /4 year tumultuous divorce. My spouse played every game in the book and invented a few new tricks, none of it fazed Andrew . Andrew was always 1 step ahead and ready for anything that was thrown at us! I was awarded everything we requested and then some ! You couldn’t have a better attorney representing you during these difficult circumstances, Andrew is an outstanding lawyer, a true professional, and a caring person!!!

Mr. Steele is a lion in the court room. He will go all the way to the end and doesn't back down. He just delivers. Many years of experience and it shows. My case was very difficult but his paralegal Miss Nadia, walked me through all the necessary paper work and answered all my questions, and I had a lot. Mr. Steele will work crazy hours on your case if needed. Weekends as well. Do not hesitate to hire him. He is a flat fee lawyer so there's no " we had to review your case for 8 hours × $350/hr " surprises.

My husband was in an automobile accident that left him with a severely fractured arm. The fracture required surgery which caused hospitalization, and because of the severity he was left unable to work for an extended period of time. Adding to my devastation, I had a three week old newborn. My husband was in the hospital recovering from his first surgery when he decided to contact the office that Tiffany and her husband Eric own and practice law. The day he contacted them, they came to my husbands hospital room to talk to him about what they may be able to do for us. We had a new baby and absolutely no income coming in, plus my husband was staying in the hospital due to complications from the surgery to fix the fractures in his arm. I was extremely fragile and scared. Tiffany called me to assure me that she was doing everything in her power to make sure we would start getting my husbands lost wages. She was very knowledgable, confident, compassionate, and thorough. Also, from that point on she made sure to keep me updated along with my husband every time she had any news concerning our case. Tiffany made every effort to fight for what was rightfully ours, she was honest, forthcoming, and diligent. She made every effort to make this process was as easy and as quick as humanly possible for our family. In addition, there were times when we did not understand things that were happening, and Eric, Tiffany's husband and partner would call my husband to make sure we understood the jargon. Tiffany's staff was super helpful and they always were willing to answer questions or to help us whenever we needed it. At Faddis and Faddis, there is never a bad time, for they bend over backwards to make sure their job is done right. They were very assuring and I stopped worrying because I got to a point where I knew I was in the very best of hands. I feel that my husband made the best decision possible that day he contacted Faddis and Faddis. I would recommend Tiffany Faddis with no hesitation, what so ever. Tiffany truly makes this world a better place by lending her expertise to her clients, for you will truly feel as though you have a friend fighting for you. If you find yourself in a position where you need a lawyer to fight for you because of an auto accident, I promise, Tiffany Faddis will not let you down

After months of trying to negotiate with my creditor- who refused to budge on their demands-they had added on $2,700 to the original debt for late fees. I could not pay what they were asking- if I could, I would have paid it to begin with. They finally filed to take me to court. I tried to mediate, but they refused and said they would seek judgement. I was in tears. I had just so happened to receive a letter from Bryan the day before offering his service. Something told me to contact Bryan. I am so thankful I did. Brian and his Mom were so helpful in explaining everything and listening to my problem. For a VERY reasonable fee Bryan got the collector to completely dismiss the debt. I owed nothing! And they agreed to remove it from my credit report too! God was watching out for me when he sent me to Bryan. Such a nice, honest man willing to listen and help. I would not recommend any other lawyer.

Attorney Dangler exceeded my expectations. After both consulting with another firm and failing to take care of my debt lawsuit on my own, Mr. Dangler was able to have the case dismissed and I didn't have to pay anything to the debt collector. Attorney Dangler maintained constant contact with me during the duration of my case, even going so far as to give me a congratulatory phone call when my son was accepted into college. He was very knowledge, blunt in in terms of which solutions were realistic, and guided me through the steps he took during the case in an effort to further educate me on the issues. Should I need any help or advice when it comes to anything relating to debt, whether or not I absolutely need an attorney, I will be sure to contact Mr. Dangler to at least gain his insight into my options.

I was going to lose my truck, my house and I wouldn’t have been able to run my business. I found Mr. Wickhorst through a family friend. There aren’t words that fully describe how he saved my life. He negotiated with my ex wife’s attorney (who didn’t need to negotiate anything) and fixed every single issue in an addendum to my settlement agreement. He literally made the impossible happen; I kept my truck, my house and my business. I can’t thank him and his staff enough.

Alex was one of the attorney’s that replied back to me on a lawyer referral site. I was in an auto accident where a driver ran a red light. I could not avoid hitting her. This accident aggravated a previous injury and instantly life changed. The at-fault driver was driving her mother’s car. The Mother’s policy limits were mediocre, which just seemed so unfair after everything. After doing some research, it was discovered that the at-fault driver also had a separate auto policy. However they we’re not very cooperative in the beginning. Thanks to Alex’s tenacity, both insurance companies tendered me their limits. Everyone in the Ed Norman office has been great to deal with. I loved the personal attention that went into my case. They were always very responsive and helpful! I referred my brother to them and they are doing the same great work on his case! I would definitely trust them to protect my best interests in the future!

My husband and I had a terrible experience with the first lawyer we hired to handle a Family Law dispute with my husband's ex-wife; he actually put us in a worse position than where we started. Mr. Couch was referred to me by some close friends and he was more than happy to help. The difference between Mr. Couch and many other attorneys you will come to encounter is that he actually cares about his clients. I have never met someone so caring and devoted- he was honest and upfront with us the entire time and he still fought hard for us. I actually get choked up thinking about how wonderful Mr. Couch was and how effective and helpful he was to our cause- we were in a really tough place and he has actually made our life and our situation better! Words cannot express how grateful we are to Mr. Couch. He is truly amazing.

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.
  • 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.
