I was wrongfully charged with simple assault, a situation that left me devastated. I felt completely overwhelmed by the emotional turmoil caused by my wife and the police. The stress and depression were unbearable. But everything changed when I met the Anthony Law Firm and their exceptional criminal lawyer, Mr. Joseph Alter.
From the moment I engaged with Mr. Alter, I felt a sense of hope and reassurance. On the day of the court hearing, I witnessed firsthand what it means to have a lawyer who defends you with dignity, skill, and unwavering professionalism. Mr. Alter was not just my lawyer; he was a human being with a profound sense of morality and decency. His dedication to my case was evident in every word he spoke and every action he took.
Thanks to Mr. Alter, I felt truly defended and understood. He restored my faith in the justice system and helped me navigate one of the most difficult times of my life with grace and confidence. I will always be grateful for his exceptional representation and the humanity he brought to my defense. I hope anyone else have my chance to work with this great ANTHONY POPE LAW FIRM and MR. JOSEPH ALTER

On the morning of November 17, 2020 during the height of COVID, I reached out to the Anthony Pope Law Firm to schedule an appointment to discuss my accident case. Later that day I was sitting across from Anthony to discuss my case. What was most impressive was his quick response after spending 7-10 days calling numerous law offices and getting nowhere. He settled my case on May 5, 2021. The settlement was far more than I ever expected. From the time I first met Anthony, until my case was settled, he kept me informed during the entire process. Anthony and his staff were very professional.
On June 28, 2023 I reached out to Anthony Pope to represent me in another accident case in which I had a slip and fall down a flight of stairs on April 4, 2023. After my surgery in August of 2023, Anthony settled my case on March 12, 2024. Once again Anthony and his staff always kept me informed during the entire process. I hope that I don't need his services again but if YOU need a lawyer your first call should be to the Anthony Pope Law Firm.

I went to Anthony for help with my husband’s case. I knew by looking at him, he was the man for the job. And he did not disappoint! He showed up to meet my husband one hour after I spoke with him and during Covid no less! He worked with me on his fee because he understood I was in a bad spot. He has walked us through everything and kept us up on all info immediately. Even after everything was all said and done, he still keeps up with us, unlike other lawyers. Anthony is extremely professional and diligent. He dots every I and crosses every T. It was amazing watching him argue in court…he’s a shark!!! He doesn’t back down like so many lawyers. He will fight…and how he loves to fight!!!!

I’d like to thank Mr. Joseph Stringfellow for preparing my Will and Powers of Attorney. Mr. Stringfellow first came to my home to gather information and answer questions, and believe me, I had many! He completed all of my documents in a timely and efficient manner, and I came away with a sense of satisfaction and contentment. Mr. Stringfellow was professional, efficient and kind. I would recommend him to anyone.

I have had the misfortune of needing many different types of lawyers in my life. The bright spot of that, is being able to recognize what a good attorney looks like, and Gene is absolutely phenomenal.
I reached out to the main office regarding my legal situation and the admin/finance departments were always responsive, kind and professional. I felt the pricing was transparent, and fair.
I was impressed with the level of communication, dedication and quality of service provided by this firm. Gene is an extremely knowledgeable, helpful and organized professional. His professional connections and legal acumen makes him an incredible attorney.
Whenever I had questions Helen and Gene ensured I felt comfortable and was fully informed of each potential branch the case could take.
I appreciated their grace with my limited knowledge in the inner workings of DCPP situations. I feel whole heartedly that hiring this form was the best choice I could have made.
My case was resolved to my satisfaction, ahead of expected time frame. If you’re reading these reviews as I did prior to hiring this firm, please know this is the best decision.

My experience with this law firm was is that if you have issues with D.C.C.P. Allison Williams is the attorney that you absolutely should get on your side especially, if you don't have close to a squeaky clean past and/or you do not walk a straight line. No matter what you did or what they said you did, the outcome will likely be a lot better if you get Allison on your case. An attorney in the Williams firm represented my wife in a D.C.C.P. case. The outcome in my wife's case was ok but now looking back after meeting Allison she should have paid more money for Allison instead of getting one of the other attorneys in the firm.
Although I only spoke with Allison one time with my wife ,knowing the system very well and the past dealings I have had with other attorneys, I feel that Allison is the real deal and can be trusted. I would advise you to pay the extra money she charges for her service rather than getting one of the other attorneys in her firm that will not represent you like Allison will.
I am hoping to get Allison to help me gain custody of my 7 year old daughter. I met other attorneys from big expensive firms, and I pick Allison over all of them.

"I unfortunately had Alexandra Coglianese appointed as our parent coordinator. She exhibited bias and manipulated facts to fit her own narrative. Her dishonesty led to false statements, some of which she corrected when confronted. She even presented inaccurate information to the judge, some of which she later amended in an email sent at 7 PM the night before the hearing. Whether this was deliberate or due to incompetence, she failed to prioritize my daughter’s best interests by presenting misleading narratives to the court and making false statements and unsolicited recommendations.
If you’re seeking someone who is fair, honest, and genuinely looks out for the child’s well-being, I recommend avoiding Alexandra Coglianese.”

I have been working with Alex for almost 15 years and she has helped me with two matrimonial cases. From day one, Alex dove deep into the facts of my case, was able to decipher through years of court documents and was absolutely tenacious in advancing and winning my cases. Not only is Alex a highly skilled professional and an excellent attorney, she took a personal interest in me and my children and left no stone unturned. Even when my second case was transferred out of state to North Carolina, Alex recommended an excellent local attorney and stayed involved throughout the whole process.
I can’t thank Alex enough for her efforts, results, passion and dedication. I have dealt with many law firms/attorneys, both professionally (in my 35 year career) and personally and Alex is second to none and at the top of my list. I highly recommend Alex! AAA+++

I wanted to leave a scathing review of Snellings Law. After my car accident in which I was the victim of a cell-phone user running a red traffic light, I found myself faced with 3 immediate surgeries to walk & 3 spinal injections to relieve 3 herniated disks in my neck. I have a current case still pending in the courts and have lost over $50K in earning in 3 years due to surgeries, PT, Doctors visits, disability for a couple of months etc. Instead of being patient to get their 'pound of flesh' from the settlement, they locked my savings accounts (2) and refuse to work with me or my attorney. I just wanted to let all know just how much I despise this law firm. On every attempt to settle this, I was directed to make a payment. No compassion was shown whatsoever. Kudos for your speed in the courts while I sit around waiting for 'my day' to come.

100% recommended, I hired them at the last minute, and they quickly accepted my case, we had a result that I honestly doubted would happen, since the other party's lawyer had known the situations for years and we still obtained great results. I would hire them again without a doubt.
Thank you very much Jonathan, you did such a great job!

I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Mr. Richard Outhwaite of Weinberger law group for the outstanding representation he afforded me in handling my consent order which was finalized in December of 2023. The final outcome was better than I had hoped for and he not only protected my rights but more importantly the rights of my daughter. I finally have peace of mind now and I do not have to worry about these matters moving forward. Thank you Mr. Outhwaite for all your time and effort. I greatly appreciate it.

Divorce is difficult, ugly, and sad. Nothing anyone does except the couples will make it easier. It's easy to blame the lawyers for not doing enough or caring enough, but at the end of they day it's messy and everyone wants a "pitbull" in the arena but all that does is build resentment and blood pressure. My lawyer is human and did the best that a caring human would do.....I didn't hire a dog, I hired a human.....so thank-you for being a good human beings and dealing with the stress and aggravation that you must endure because other people's choose dogs.

Mr. Eric McKinley handled an extremely complicated legal matter for our family. After fourteen months of very nerve-wracking discussions we were able to shake hands with the opposing lawyer, and walk away with a sense of relief. Mr. McKinley handled the entire legal process with great skill and patience. We always had direct and constant communication with him by way of phone calls, emails, and most importantly one-on-one meetings to discuss the progress of our case. Mr. McKinley demonstrated a true compassion and understanding for all parties involved. He was the answer to our prayers. It was the best money we ever spent! Thank you kindly, Mr. McKinley!

We have enlisted Al’s expertise over the last 6 years and highly recommend him. He may keep a low profile, but behind the scenes he is working very hard for his clients which is obvious in the outcome of his cases. Even a judge in our case commented that we were very lucky to have such a good attorney. Al digs into all the details, asks all the right questions and thinks outside the box to consider every option to benefit his client. Life is unpredictable but we are secure in knowing that if we need a lawyer in the future, we have one we can trust..

Rich Cohen was our lawyer regarding estate issues. At first, I thought he knew what he was doing. However, as the case progressed, motions were not filed in a timely manner and we were charged hourly rates for legal work that was not completed or followed through with the court. He also failed to send our family copies of court filings, yet we were charged. We ended up hiring another attorney who was way more familiar with the law. I do not recommend him as he does not follow through yet he runs up your bill. Our issues were never resolved by Mr. Cohen and I cannot recommend him for any type of estate work as it ended up being a very costly mistake for our family by hiring Richard Cohen.

Mr. Cohen handled my family legal dispute that involved a will, and many assets and was able to retrieve and/or receive a judgment on ALL assets that had been stolen and commingled or misappropriated. He was also able to quickly have the executrix of the estate removed from any authoritative position so that further damage could not be done. It was a long rigorous process that ended with trial and a large judgment in my favor however, there were also many other victories along the way.
Mr. Cohen went above and beyond with my case, picking me up when I didn't have a ride, dealing with my less than respectful family, and much more. I am now happy that I can call him a friend. If you are looking for a smart lawyer who is willing to go the extra mile, and implement creative tactics to help you reach your end game, I would recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone.

Thank you, DENNIS SHLIONSKY and DANIELLE! This is the second time Dennis represented me, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Right when we were about to settle my first case, I got into another minor accident that made my neck pain even worse. The insurance company tried to brush it off as a simple fender bender, but Dennis didn’t let them get away with it. Even though I had surgery after the first accident and the MRI showed my herniation had shrunk, Dennis fought tooth and nail to make sure I got every dollar I deserved.
Dennis isn’t just an incredible lawyer, he’s a genuinely good person. He listens, cares, and follows through on everything he promises. There were times I needed to reach him on weekends or late at night, and he always picked up the phone, no questions asked. He made sure my medical bills were taken care of and never let the insurance company push me around. Dennis truly saved the day and got me all the money I was owed. If you need a lawyer who’s relentless and also has your back, Dennis is the one. He’s hands-down the best.

I’m really grateful for Dennis Shlionsky and his amazing team! I was stopped at a red light on US 1 in North Brunswick when a chain-reaction crash ended up with my car getting hit. It was a mess, but Dennis and his team took care of everything.
They explained the whole process clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure the responsible parties were held accountable. Dennis and his team worked hard to get me all the compensation available. If you need a smart, caring lawyer with a great team, I highly recommend Lawyer Dennis Shlionsky!

I would highly recommend the law firm of Shapiro, Croland, Reiser & Co if you are in need of expert legal services. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Glenn Reiser who has great expertise and experience in legal representation. The services were very reasonable in cost with exceptional professionalism and communication.
I was very happy with the outcome and results of their law services. Thank You!

Glenn Reiser and his firm Shapiro, Croland, Reiser, Apfel & Di Iorio, LLP fell way short in their handling of my case.
In our initial consultation, Glenn and his brother Stuart promised to build our case and would listen to our concerns and follow our needs by letting us be “in the driver’s seat”. Well, it just came out that Stuart's motto from another review that was left for the firm two months ago follows the old adage "a bad settlement is better than a good lawsuit". The other plaintiff and I let them know from the beginning that in order for a fair settlement to be reached the path to be taken would be for us to go to trial and have an impartial judge make the decision. We knew this from knowing the defendant's mindset that mediation would be a waste of time. If we knew then that this was this attorney’s viewpoint, we would not have chosen them. Although it is true this may work for most cases it was not the way to go for us.
“A bad settlement is better than a good trial,” is the kind of thing a trial lawyer says to a client/plaintiff when recommending a settlement offer that is less than full compensation for the wrong (that is, 99.9% of settlements) when the wronged client balks at the settlement but the trial lawyer thinks it is, on balance, a (relatively) good deal. This certainly was a fitting mantra for them as a bad settlement is exactly what they got us.
As Abraham Lincoln noted "A good settlement is better than a good lawsuit" and when mediation didn’t work with our first attorney where the defendants stretched out the billing hours and refused to even come up with a counter offer, we knew for sure that a trial was the only way for us to get a fair deal. Reiser’s following the adage of a bad settlement is better may work when you are up against insurance companies but was not applicable to our case, considering the unusual mindset and untruthfulness of the defendants in our case.
Another bone of contention is that despite Glenn's high fees, his law firm is run very spartanly which looking back should have set off numerous red flags. For starters, Glenn doesn't have an assistant. So, everything that is done will be billed at his high rate. Glenn doesn't have DocuSign; he doesn't accept any form of electronic payment in which he has you mail a check to him every month. It was also very unsettlingly how he'd reach out asking if I mailed the payment in the tone of someone who was expecting that I would renege on the bill. He seemed to be always having his hand out. I wholeheartedly suspect he most likely consciously drove up billing hours wherever he could.
Glenn also failed to inform us that a legal malpractice case was filed against him and his firm back in April 2023. Although Mr. Reiser boasts that this case is frivolous and the client a nut job (then why was he your client?) the case, even though Glenn has tried to get it thrown out, is still pending so the courts still believe it has merit see; CASTRO v. REISER et al
Glenn also displayed incompetence at times by not answering and ignoring important questions we posed to him in our emails. We asked for copies of our case files which he agreed to send to us however, he never did.
During our second day of trial, the judge said everyone preferred being back in court in-person after the pandemic. Glenn jokingly responded to the judge he was getting tired standing during the questioning.
Glenn not only charges his full rate driving to court and back, but he charges his full rate waiting for court to begin. Not even the experts we had appearing in court did that.
In my sincere opinion, Glenn's high fees aren't worth the subpar service he provides. I would seriously think twice before choosing this firm if you are looking to receive a good and fair settlement from your case.

We did a project which included several change orders asked for by the Hicks at his residence . Mr. Hicks, a partner at this law firm , acted very unprofessional, his wife actually contacted my employees via text causing tortious interference with our contracts. While completing his contracts, we found his soil was sub par and full of clay and needed to be remediated. He and his wife practically had temper tantrums causing for an unbelievably unsuitable work environment at his home. Even with their attempts to cause harm to me and my company, we competed the contract. A year later, he claimed that some of the brick pavers moved, I explained to him that he refused to pay to remedy the soil situation and therefore it was not covered by our warranty. He proceeded to use his law degree to sue us, he filed suit for over $24,000.00 which included almost $12,000.00 in new landscaping which was not part of my contract. While delivering the discovery to his house, the driveway which he claimed to have been removed and reinstalled in his lawsuit had the same pavers sinking in the same spot a year after they were supposedly replaced.. if this partnership allows attorneys like this, who use their law license to try to steal from hard working contractors then I would say run away from this firm. They support disgraceful behavior like this from their partners! We just recently went to binding arbitration. The arbiter threw out 99% of his case and awarded him $2300.00, one tenth of what he was fraudulently suing me and my company for!

The following is my opinion: The lawyer is very good at appeals and means well for his client. If you are a client who does not know much about the law or wants someone to handle the details for you he would be good. If you are someone who has special needs or likes to have more control over the means and objectives then you should screen him more carefully and I suggest getting everything in detail in the contract up front.

After being in a car accident, I was was strongly encouraged by my insurance company to bring my vehicle to a specific collision repair shop (DRP of course). My vehicle was not returned to me for 3 1/2 months. Once returned, the vehicle was not operating correctly. I brought my vehicle to the dealer to find out that the majority of work, including the frame rail repair was never done, leaving me in an unsafe, undriveable vehicle! The work that had been done was shoddy at best! I hired Jonathan Rudnick to take on the insurance company and the collision repair shop. Jon is very experienced, knowledgeable, and versed in deceptive practice and consumer fraud. He hired an outstanding Expert, walked me through the entire process, and eventually landed me a settlement that I was very pleased with. His zealous approach combined with extensive knowledge enabled justice to be served with my case. I am very thankful to have hired Jon for my case, and recommend him highly!

I financed a older car through a Credit Acceptance. I was duped into signing a contract that marked up the vehicle 2x it’s value. Multiple attempts to refinance or amend the loan contract proved fruitless and the vehicle was repossessed. Most of my possessions were stolen and the car was damaged. The tow truck company and the auction yard denied responsibility; going as far to accuse me of damaging my own car. Credit Acceptance forced me to pay for a damaged vehicle, which I denied to do, having to get my bank involved. They sold the car without notice or my consent. Credit Acceptance made my life hell for two years.
After months of looking for options, I came across Mr. Rudnick. Through his excellent paralegal Debbie, I sent him a lengthy brief, pictures, notices, receipts, and anything else she thought would help my case. After more months of waiting, Mr. Rudnick reached out. He kept interrupting and asking me questions I didn’t understand. He didn’t seem interested in the case and his tone was very condescending. It felt like a cross-examination. Mr. Rudnick mentioned that he wouldn’t make a decision until he received a notice to sell from Credit Acceptance, which I never received prior to them selling the car off. I waited over a month to finally get the letter in the mail. Mr. Rudnick called me today to tell me he just wasn’t interested. He claims he reviewed my evidence and dealt with Credit Acceptance before. He has a very nasty attitude and do not recommend him as a lawyer or a person.

Jonathan Rudnick has been a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nearly impossible. Not only was Jonathan able to protect and defend us from an unjust, unfair and life threatening Takata Airbag, but the automobile sales group that sold us the defective product, lied repeatedly about the availability of recall resolution and deceptive practices. Jonathan’s calm, direct and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Rudnick without reservation.

Exceptional Legal Services - Highly Recommended Criminal Lawyer
I recently had the privilege of working with Mr. Seltzer. He was recommended to me by someone of trust and I hired his services to defend my case and I cannot express my gratitude and satisfaction enough.
Mr. Seltzer demonstrated a level of professionalism that immediately put me at ease. His extensive knowledge of the legal system and his strategic approach to my case gave me confidence that I was in capable hands. Throughout the process, he meticulously analyzed every detail and crafted a solid defense strategy tailored to my situation. He went above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned in preparing my defense. His commitment to my well-being and ensuring the best possible outcome was evident in every interaction we had. It's rare to find a lawyer who genuinely cares about their clients the way Mr. Seltzer does. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Bad attorney, filed my brief incorrect, and should of know the outcome of the case before he used appellate cases from the past. Do not recommend for a so called seasoned attorney.

The worst attorney I ever hired. Got recommended by a friend and even she was surprised how I was treated. Joel seltzer kept my money from me for doing nothing. Never kept in touch or did anything I had to do all the leg work myself. A day before my court date he tells me he cant make it because he has another court to appear to and that it was more important but when i hired him that day was clear for him . My court date in fact was going to get cancelled because when an attorney cant make it they are suppose to let the court system know so they can reschedule but Joel Seltzer never told the court he was representing me so on file "i didnt have an attorney representing me" Instead of doing what right when he in fact was wrong and unprofessional .. I asked for my refund back and he wouldn't answer my calls and when i called from another number once he knew it was me he would hang up. Very childish I hope he never does this to anyone .... worst experience ever..... Save yourself the stress.

Brought me in office under the guise I needed his services when all I needed was a CPA, his free phone referral could have given what I needed, instead he brought me in and as charged me 300.00 for something he could have easily told me on the phone. He stated to bring 3,000 - 5,000 dollar retainer based on the complexity of the case.. There was nothing complex about it. He was a 30 minutes late, but sent his Dad who was equivalent to a used car salesman and went on and on. Even when I found out they were not able to help me, they still engaged me in questions, taking advantage of my naivety of the situation. They gave me the impression, and wasted my time with meaningless questions only to refer me to a CPA (their friend) who wanted to charge me thousands for things totally unnecessary. If you have rather grey area, do not contact them, they will string you along, contact a CPA first. I had no legal issues, and they should have had the kindness to tell me this in our "free consultation" shame on both of them.

Not a good lawyer they take your money and they do not win your case. This is insane that this guy even has a license to be an attorney.

Hired him for an Ejectment case, explaining to him I specifically needed an appeal, rejects this claiming one isn’t needed even though I explained to him the prior judges ruling. I lost my case and the judge explained the same reason why only an appeal could’ve helped me but I missed the deadline due to his opinion. Then when the judge explained the ruling all he could tell me was he wasn’t the prior attorney. If you want to lose go with Louis Johnson. If I had two more hands I’d give him 4 thumbs down

Do NOT hire him. They take your money and initially lead you to believe you will be reasonably represented. His law clerk Karla is the mouthpiece. They are horrible at communicating; they come up with random excuses for not being in touch or responding to my emails - my favorite- “our server was down”. when asked why they couldn’t text or call - useless apologies. Don’t waste your money. I’m filing a complaint against him with the Huson County Bar Association and the State Bar, requesting they remove this firm from the attorney referral service. I trusted them to refer a reputable attorney . They took my money like white collar thugs, and didnt deliver. If I could give a negative star rating - I would.

Same thing in my case. I broke my Ankle bone climbing company stairs. For TWO years I sent this lawyer every single document I received and even had some serious medical documents translated, at my expense. I was the one who constantly called his him, asked if he needed anything from me, each time I had to remind him WHO I was!
The Statutory time frame for WC claim is Two years. I found out from my NEW lawyer, but by this time the statutory timeframe was up and I had no legal rights to presure my employer.
I guess this lawyer actually worked for my employer.
Don’t waste your time, energy or mental health on this poor excuse of a lawyer.
BE WARNED!!!!!!

I sustained a serious work injury. I was looking for a good WC attorney and contacted Pond Lehocky. I was advised that they did not handle WC in my state, so they gave me Jeffrey Stern, who practices in my state. After signing up with him I thought he was a good attorney. His office was very unorganized and he was dressed in shorts when I had my first consultation with him, but he seemed to be very good per our conversation. As my case went on, I gave him updates of all of my treatment and the shenanigans my employer was trying to pull. The case was proceeding along, so there was nothing urgent to be done as I was treating. Well, after my treatment was coming to a close and the physician and my employer were trying to force me back to work, it was time for Mr. Stern to act. Not only did he stop communicating with me, he lied and told me he was doing things on my claim that I found out he was not doing. I got fed up and fired him. He lied to me and to the court. When I did get a new attorney, I found out that my employer's counsel had sent him paperwork that I needed to fill out 3 times for completion, which he ignored and never sent to me. My employer's counsel was about to file a petition to have my claim closed. Thank God I found a new attorney before that happened.
Mr. Stern is lazy, and unorganized. I also found out that he goes to court unorganized. I would not suggest that anyone trust him with a serious claim.

I had an excellent experience working with Jeff regarding a car accident case. He was always available and quick to respond. This was a difficult process, and Jeff reduced a lot of my stress. He had my best interest in mind, taking into account my needs and advising me accordingly. Lastly, I feel like he understood how important it was for me to understand the legal process itself and the all options available to me. Jeff is down to earth; made this process easy. I would certainly recommend him.

Mr Harrington was so good to me. He handled a divorce case for me and he knew this was a difficult time for me and my children and was very compassionate and protective. Oatrick also has the patience of a saint ! I would call him worrying about the silliest things and he was ALWAYS responsive and helpful. He gave me WONDERFUL advice and his quick thinking with helping me with an amendment to my custody agreement when I moved later saved me from a world of trouble and pain. I fully endorse this lawyer and if he has received any bad reviews they must be from people that are just bitter and unfair. Sometimes no matter how hard a lawyer tries, he can't make someone happy. In my case he did. He even was concerned about my emotional well being. When we were in court for the final divorce decree I saw my ex husband and I was upset. He sat right next to me and said, "are you okay?" Never leaving my side that day. It is 5 years since my divorce and I still think of his kindness and how grateful I am for his help.

He was negligent and worked against me with my ex husbands attorney. He just wanted to get it done. Did not help advise or anything. And he never even gave me a complete divorce decree. Divorcing an an abusive husband and having disabled children he did not advocate for us at all.

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.
