When I called Ranson and Ranson for my divorce, I was beside myself due to my very toxic marriage. My lawyer Ryan listened to me as a therapist and was very empathetic to my situation. He made me feel comfortable and followed through with everything we discussed. He & his team were very thorough. My divorce was smooth and rather fast.
Thank you so very much Ryan, Brittany & your team 🙏🙏🙏🙏

We are custom home builders and hired Ryan Ranson to handle a very complex insurance case.
One of our subcontractors insurance agents dropped the ball and did not notify us of a lapsed policy. The subcontractor did not notify us of this issue either. They had an accident on the job costing us $150,000+ in water damages.
After a complex legal battle with the insurance company we received a check for the full amount.
We only received this payment in full because of Ryan Ranson’s dedication to my case. He truly cares about his clients.
Thank you again Ryan for doing a great job representing us in this complex matter.

We recently entered a purchase agreement to buy a home. However, after the home inspection revealed several serious issues, we wanted to withdraw from the agreement . Although our concerns were very legitimate, the seller did not want to release us from the agreement and return our earnest money. We consulted Mr. Sweeney about the situation , and he provided us with clear, honest advice as to how to proceed. Due to his recommendations, the seller acquiesced without us having to resort to litigation. And we got back all of the earnest money. We highly recommend using Mr. Sweeney's services when buying or selling real estate. His advice and guidance are invaluable.

Christin is representing me in a very tough battle with the IRS.
The IRS had a whole list of accusations against me, going back 10 years, and targeting me for every one of those years.
They were taking the most extreme and severe actions against me, possible, when I hired Christin.
Christin has successfully kept ANY bad things from happening to me, while eliminating things from the IRS list of things against me, along the way. Christin and her strategies successfully defeated almost the entire list for every year, so far. She is still working on the last one, and has adapted, all along the way, to make sure nothing bad happens to me, even though my situation is constantly changing. My situation changing occasionally causes her to change her strategies, to insure the best outcome, for me.
Her strategies have been adaptive, and hedging, and based on her extensive experience and expertise.
She knows how to "play the game" (as the saying goes), while always seeking the best possible outcome for her client.
Christin is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and very sharp!
Her law office works diligently, and frequently "burns the midnight oil" to make sure absolutely nothing is overlooked, or neglected.
I did a great deal of research (due diligence), and communicated with many lawyers, and explored all my options, before hiring Christin. Based on my experience with Christin, and her firm, I am extremely pleased I hired her to represent me, and NOT one of the others.
She has been an excellent choice; better than I could have ever imagined!
I am not a young guy. I have had experience with lawyers, throughout my life, for various issues (not all bad), both in my home state, and a couple lawyers here in Florida.
I have experienced a few REALLY good lawyers, throughout my life, and some not so good.
After several years of experience with Christin, and her firm, I can truly say that she is the best lawyer I have ever had!
She always keeps clients informed, and both Christin, and her office staff are always extremely pleasant, and professional, and extremely easy for clients to interact with.
When fighting the IRS, Christin is extremely shrewd, tough, aggressive, and works adaptively from a finely crafted strategy, which literally considers every possibility, before she even goes into each battle, in order to insure the best possible outcome, no matter what.
I have found her to operate from the highest moral and ethical standards regarding her clients.
I cannot say enough good things about Christin Bucci, and Bucci Law Offices.
If you have a situation in which you desperately need a REALLY GOOD tax attorney, you NEED Christin!

I highly recommend Rodal Law. P.A. and Chezky personally. I received Chezky’s information along with contact information for several other top law Miami law firms from a friend of mine, who is also an attorney. My friend recommended that I go with Chezky and assured me I would be happy with results and he was right. From the first email I sent to different law firms when Chezky was first to respond to the last moment when the settlement was paid and the amount paid was full asking, I couldn’t be more satisfied with the way case was handled, the attention I received and results delivered. Later I found out that Chezky and my friend have been on opposite sides on another case. Suffice to say, that if an attorney is recommended by his opponents, he must be great and Chezky truly is.

I found Mr. Kelly to be totally competent regarding his preparation an knowledge of the facts of my case. Mr. Kelly's trial techniques were no less than astounding. This is the second occasion where either myself or the company I represented hired Mr. Kelly. His track record continues to be 100%
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services and of equal importance use his services again if a need arises.

Loan Lawyers handled my foreclosure case for a total of 3 months. I had 2 previous attorneys on my case.

I am an attorney from Belize of 37 years practising experience in many fields of law including corporate, commercial, banking and litigation. I have dealt with lawyers in the United States (so I can compare) and more recently had Laura Hoy as my attorney in respect of a mortgage dispute with a Bank with which I grappled over the last 3 years. The matter was successfully settled and Laura impressed me with her knowledge of the law, her acuity, quickness, and her legal savvy. The nature of legal settlements are usually influenced by the strength of your case, the knowledge of your attorney, their disposition and engagement skills with opponents and all these were in display in the experience i had in this case. She is really a very promising, bright young lawyer and I have no hesitation in recommending her and the Loan Lawyers Firm of which she is a member.

From my experience, Matthew McGuigan was not only a true professional and knowledgeable; he was also a very down-to-earth and understanding lawyer, which is very rare in today's society. He immediately was available for every question and went out of his way to get me recovery and what I deserved from my previous employer. He quickly made a wrong into a RIGHT!

Lawyers usually get a bad reputation on not being easy to talk to, but Matt is the exception. I can easily reach him, and when I have a problem he is easy to talk to. 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.

This is my first experience in hiring an attorney and needed to do so for my spouse's case. Sincerely, I didn't know where to start. While reading different reviews online, and word of mouth recommendations, Richard came into play. He is very responsive, kind, communicative and reliable. Anytime I had a question or concern either from my spouse or myself, he always answered every phone call, text message or email. Having done everything remotely with me, he was very professional and trustworthy. He was very knowledgeable and explained all legal terms and procedures to us with time and diligence.
I would recommend Richard for any of your legal needs.

Arthur Vincent is a wonderful attorney. I felt that he always had my best interest in mind and explained things well and in a timely manner.

Vincent Law was able to successfully defend me in my landlord-tenant dispute. After vacating my unit and leaving the premises in impeccable condition, the landlord had decided not to follow the statue and not return my security deposit. With the help of Arthur Vincent I was able to receive my full security deposit and legal fees. Mr. Vincent was a reassuring presence throughout the legal proceedings and made sure that the law was followed. Based on my experience, I would certainly recommend Vincent Law to others who may need legal assistance in similar matters. It is always reassuring to have an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer on your side, and Mr. Vincent was that lawyer.

Richard helped a friend of mine from the very beginning. We used all of our life savings but it was worth it to have your name clear on a felony charge which impacts your life. Something funny is we’ve never met Richard! But from his voice you can tell he has confidence, sincere, and genuine. Since the beginning he stated he wanted the charges dismissed. This is my friend’s first offense and Richard got all the charges dismissed! We never had to step foot in a court! He’s a great lawyer always communicating and answering no matter how many times you call or text him. He always gives reassurance the best he can. His number will always be saved in my phone!

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.

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.

Top Questions to Ask a Consumer Protection Lawyer
Before hiring a consumer protection lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and skills to handle your case effectively. Key questions include:
-
What experience do you have with consumer protection law?
Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases like yours, whether it involves product liability, fraud, or debt collection issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a contingency fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case. -
What is the likelihood of success for my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and what outcome you can reasonably expect. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Make sure the lawyer has experience dealing with similar legal issues, whether it’s credit report disputes, data breaches, or defective products. -
What is the timeline for resolving my case?
While it can be difficult to predict exact timelines, the lawyer should give you a general idea of how long your case may take to resolve. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Consumer Protection Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable consumer protection lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Check for experience in consumer protection: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to confirm they specialize in consumer protection law and have handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle consumer protection cases.
- Look for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to protecting consumer rights.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a consumer protection lawyer, come prepared with all relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Details of the product or service in question: Bring any purchase receipts, warranties, or contracts related to the product or service involved in your claim.
- Documentation of your complaint: Provide evidence of your complaint, such as email exchanges with the company, photos of a defective product, or a timeline of events related to the dispute.
- Communication with the business or debt collector: If you’ve communicated with the business or debt collector, bring copies of letters, emails, or phone logs.
- List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes for your case.
- Information on damages: Be prepared to discuss any financial losses or harm you’ve suffered as a result of the unfair business practices, including medical bills, lost wages, or emotional distress.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your situation more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed with your case.
