I was in a pretty bad spot. I had, in hindsight, said some things I shouldn't have said had I known the trouble it would bring. Nevertheless, I called someone out for shady activity online and I ended up entangled in a lawsuit over it.
I went to a list of lawyers who were willing to help people in a situation not unlike mine and found Mudd Law. After speaking with Charles he agreed to take my case at a really reasonable price and let me work out a fair payment plan. This case could have financially ruined me for the foreseeable future and I needed help badly.
Mr. Mudd was very helpful and personable right from the first phone call and I was very comfortable explaining the situation and following the sensible advice he offered. I quickly lost the notion I was dealing with a "lawyer" but was instead dealing with a real person who had a personal and professional interest in helping me solve my problem without trying to fleece me in the process.
In the end we were all able to come up with an amicable solution to the problem and it didn't break me financially. I also learned some lessons from my own actions and the guidance I received on how to not end up in a situation like this again, or, if I do, how to handle it better and more importantly, who to turn to if I need real legal console.
Thanks again for all your help. You helped walk me through a nightmare and come out stronger on the other side. I'll never forget your kindness and professionalism.

James did an amazing job from start to finish regarding communication with my case. I felt like there was no way to obtain justice for my wrongful termination, but James listened to me and convinced my former employer to provide me with fair compensation.

I’m giving 5 stars because Everyone at the Law firm was nice and professional! I was so confused of what I should do, so I gave them a call to guide me through this situation, and they were there to answer my questions and made sure I was doing ok! Thank you all once again!!

The only reason i’m leaving even 2 stars is because my case won. Other than that, i’ve had a poor experience with Atlas/Sulaiman law. The customer service and communication through this firm is honestly sad and extremely unprofessional.
I had a case for discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
At first everything went smoothly and I had no questions or concerns, but I noticed that once I did start to have questions, they were always ignored and left unanswered. My lawyer Travis also treats me like he could not be bothered & everything is a hassle. There is not a single time i’ve felt valued as a client. In fact, the opposing lawyers who took my deposition against their client treated me with more respect and friendliness than my team. How uncomfortable. If this is how the winning cases are treated, I could only imagine the losing ones.
From asking about attire for the deposition, to asking for a breakdown of totals, to asking how i will receive my check, to asking when I will receive my money- almost NONE of my emails or texts were returned, and if they were it’s because I was persistent in emailing and calling until I got a response. None of the inquiries I had were useless or outrageous. I am not a paralegal and therefore not well versed in the law, you would think that someone who was on your case would want you to be fully aware of what’s going on.
To add the cherry on top, my team received my check on the 18th of this month, this was after several unanswered emails asking whether the check would be direct deposit (as i was asked to provide my information), or physical check, if it would arrive to them first or me.
On the 20th I asked if i could pick the check up, if not how long it would take to be sent.
they provided me with extremely vague non-answers. “you’ll receive a tracking number 48-72 hours after we send you your check”
is not an answer to when will it be sent. When I tried again, it was left unreplied to as usual.
I would like to add that I did not have very many questions to begin with, but as the case closes, of course I would need to know more specific details. I was told on the 19th that the team would be sending my checks in the mail within the next few days.
It is about to be the 23rd, which makes 5 days after the check is received and I am still left with no response, no check, and no money that I was expecting for the holidays- a concern I expressed several times with no care given.
This firm will at the very minimum help you win, but the amount is whatever they decide. Standard lawyer fee is 33%, I was charged 40. After seeing the breakdown of the total, I realized that it’s honestly more like 50%. They will charge you 40%, but they don’t tell you that with filing and other fees are not included and equate to thousands of dollars on their own. My lawyers made about $60 less than I did.
I feel extremely taken advantage of and it makes me wonder if I was left in the dark on purpose. I only resorted to a review because I’m scared that this case will be left with no resolution for me. The people who are supposed to help me with my problems, aren’t. I’m not sure when or even if I will receive my money, but hey- at least all of my lawyers were able to buy all the gifts their hearts desired this holiday season. can’t say the same for me unfortunately.

I reached out to several different lawyers to see who I should work with. Among all the professionals I contacted, Lubin stood out. He called me back on the same day I left him a voicemail, showing his promptness and dedication. During our conversation, he provided clear, practical, and insightful legal advice, making me feel confident in his abilities. Lubin not only works efficiently but also offers his services at a very reasonable rate, which is rare to find. His quick responses and thorough assistance made a significant impression on me, and I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal counsel.

I hired the Atlas law firm when I was wrongfully billed by a doctor's office. Alex worked hard to resolve my case in a way where I felt relieved of the stress and burden it was causing me. The law firm handled every step of the case with diligence. Alex called me and kept well informed which I really appreciated. If you need a lawyer to help you sort out any collection issues, Alex is your guy an Atlas is your law firm.

Schwaner injury law is a great organization. I had a wonderful experience working with Mr. David Schwaner and Amy Meyers. They are very passionate, attentive and thorough. The team was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process. They took care of everything, from gathering evidence to negotiating with the insurance company, which made a stressful situation much easier to manage. I highly recommend Schwaner Injury Law to anyone in need of a reliable and caring injury lawyer."

I hired Delaney Delaney and Voorn to help navigate all the unknowns of nursing home, Medicaid and estate legalities for my aunt, who was in the later stages of dementia with other health issues and then passed away. Mallory was assigned my case and I could not have had a better lawyer. Her command of the issues, the subtleties and the application of the law, and her deep experience in these areas helped to steer us into proper directions and manage all the particulars that we did not even know existed. Her skill in this area helped take the stress out of the unknowns and get us to the best solutions. We could not have done it without her. I always knew I was in good hands no matter what issue I brought to her. I will recommend her and the firm to family and friends who may one day have similar situations.

I needed an attorney to help me through the complicated process of getting my 95-year-old mother living in a nursing home accepted on public aid.
Mallory made what I considered a long and pain staking process very easy. She was patient, thorough, always friendly and very knowledgeable throughout the process. What at first looked to be a standard case we did run into a financial investment issue that Mallory explored all possible remedies and ultimately overcame the issue.
Bottom-line, I highly recommend using Mallory for your Elder care legal issues.

We found JTLG and Michael Goldberg through MetLife Legal and chose him based on the great reviews and experience in estate planning. Michael was a delight to work with, he was understanding, patient and thoroughly answered all our questions both specific to our needs as well as the basics. For something that we have been meaning/dreading to do for some time, Michael put our minds at ease and tailored an estate plan specifically for our family which included a trust, living will, power of attorney for property & healthcare, HIPAA authorization and deed transfer.
All we can say is thank you Michael for a great experience in putting our plan documents together and all the follow up in its execution. My wife & I would highly recommend Michael for their estate planning needs. We would also like to thank Michael’s paralegal, Payton for her prompt follow up & assistance in arranging meetings especially with our financial advisor.

I cannot recommend Attorney Vadim Glozman highly enough. My mother was facing a terrifying 10-year federal prison sentence, and thanks to his exceptional legal skills and dedication, her sentence was reduced to just one day, time considered served.
From start to finish, Vadim was incredibly responsive, supportive, and professional. He took the time to explain everything to us, kept us updated throughout the process, and gave us confidence when we needed it most. His deep knowledge of federal law and his ability to build a strong defense made all the difference in my mother’s case.
If you or a loved one are facing a federal case, Vadim Glozman is the attorney you want by your side. His expertise and commitment to his clients are unmatched.

As a small business owner that made a terrible honest mistake with IRS taxes, we were referred to Lane Marc Gensburg by our CPA .
After a short call and a reasonable retainer amount of 3k Lane started working on my case, getting information about our situation, we were positive we got the right guy! ABSOLUTELY NOT! This is the type of lawyer you need to stay away from, he transfer our case to Michael Gutting from his office, this guy was a total joke, he made us provide all the paperwork we provide Lane again, and of course he charge us for it again, this time the bill come back more than twice the retainer amount, we immediately called Lane , overwhelmed by the bill amount, Lane told us that the majority of the work was done and we should not get anything significant bills, but of course we did!!! Not only that the bills kept coming he also wasn't informed at all of our case progress, I remember we had a conference call between Michael, Lane and my business partner and he didn't have a clue on what's going on with our case.
Not only he was just a very expensive way to transfer all of our business financial information to the IRS agent, we end up worse then before we hired him, the tax agent was pissed and before his office start working on this case, the tax agent was willing to help us with payment plans and was going to recommend reducing the penalties, but that was not the case anymore.
At the end of the day if Lane was honest with us he should take our case as an adviser and get the CPA that freered us to him to provide the paperwork to the IRS.
Again we are a small business and almost 20k fees are not proportional.

If you are in search of a Bankruptcy attorney who is knowledgable, professional, caring, empathetic, cost conscious, walks in your shoes, going that extra mile with you;… Yet is tenacious in resolution approach with each of your creditors, then you should secure the representation of attorney, Maura Zalc and the ZALC Law Firm, located in Wheaton, IL - DuPage County. I have no desire to ever file for Bankruptcy again; However, I would recommend ZALC Law in a heartbeat to anyone who unfortunately needs to go down that same grievous road. Thank you.

Doug Johnson requested a $5k retainer to perform services for my company. After several months - Doug Johnson informed us that he doesn't have the skillset to present motions in court, and that he primarily only works on settlements. He told us he was not willing to take the matter further. He refused to provide a log of hours worked on request, and kept the $5k retainer. As an attorney myself, I would recommend highly that anyone seeking assistance look elsewhere for a more skilled attorney.

I am 80 years old and met with Mollie Whitehead to update my Will as well as review my other Trust documents. I also wanted to have Powers of Attorney set up. Mollie was professional, knowledgeable and efficient. She provided a great analysis, answered my questions on estate planning & I agreed she should send me a draft of the items we agreed upon. That process took very little time & with a minimum of editing, we finalized & formally signed all the documents.

I am extremely glad that I took the initiative to reach out to Kaplan Law. It can be stressful and difficult to deal with large amounts of debt. Both Raffy and her staff were helpful and supportive with their advice on the steps I should take in dealing with my crippling amounts of debt. Raffy wasrealistic with my prospects in reducing my debt and the rates were very reasonable. It's scary to think where I would be had I not hired Kaplan Law and I would not hesitate to recommend Rae Kaplan to family and friends. A Very Big Thank You to the Kaplan Team!

Angela was a true asset to me while going through my divorce. I felt she always had my best intentions at heart. What I truly appreciated about her services was that she didn’t always tell me what I wanted to hear, but rather, what I needed to hear. This ensured that I was taking the emotion out of all decisions and acting in a manner that was best for me and my children.
I would highly recommend her to anyone - especially those going through highly emotional and complex divorce cases.

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:
-
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.
