We hired Jamie in 2018 and he represented us for over seven years as the plaintiffs in a very complicated landlord tenant dispute to prove our apartment was rent stabilized. Jamie was incredibly knowledgable about the law, and also tenacious in his defense of our claim. His motions were timely andwell written. We completely trusted his legal advice and knew he would not have us settle for anything that we were not completely comfortable with. He was always forthright and well-reasoned. He also knew when to push hard and when to try and find consensus among the parties. In the end, we decided a buy-out was our best option, but we never felt pushed into a decision. He is well respected by judges and attorneys on both sides of the aisle. When we told others in the legal field he was representing us they would often say I know of him, he is great. It was a pleasure to work with him all these years.

James Fishman was a godsend for me and my husband. We needed to break our Manhattan rental lease to move to a retirement community in North Carolina. New York State has a statute that allows seniors to do this under certain conditions that we met. However, breaking a NYC lease is not for the faintof heart because the penalties can be substantial. Additionally, we were concerned that the landlord’s representative would be difficult to deal with. I did my research and found Mr. Fishman and even was able to see a video of his testimony before a City Counsel housing committee. We met with James virtually and found him to be accessible, quite knowledgeable, reassuring and easy to work with. He drafted the letter announcing our intent, the letter requesting the return of our security deposit, followed up on the security deposit and processed it through his escrow account, sending us the correct amount. The very valuable thing James gave us was peace of mind.

James Fishman came highly recommended to me when I needed legal help with my rent stabilized apartment in the West Village in NYC. He has specialized in landlord/tenant cases for over 40 years. I appreciated his knowledge, guidance, professionalism, work ethic and his excellent representation. He went the distance with me and with a favorable outcome. Now, I can highly recommend him. Many thanks James!!

I had an issue with my employer, and reached out to Mr. Rich. He took the time to go over all the options with me, and gave me a summary of the law regarding my situation. I like that he spoke to me in layman's terms, but still displayed a sharp knowledge of the law and strategy. He guided me to the best possible outcome without empty promises or dancing around the issues. I wish every lawyer was like him (except for the ones representing my adversary ;-) ).

David S. Rich was a valuable resource to me in my role as an independent data sciences consultant. He is very savvy about business situations. At one point I had signed a contract and Statement of Work with a software company. The company asked me to perform tasks without compensation, despite the Statement of Work. David advised me to bill the company for hours worked and cancel the contract. It was a good move because others I know later had problems with that company. David is trustworthy and transparent about his scope of knowledge. Recently another attorney claimed that I had to redo a document, but I had my doubts. David did not know that answer. In less than a minute he looked up a journal article and explained a change in state standards. Whether you are an employee, employer, or business principal, he will guide you in the right direction.

Richard Roth is the consummate attorney. The scope and depth of his legal knowledge, courtroom and negotiating skills in commercial litigation has impressed me for the many years I have known him on a professional basis. If you are ever in need of a sharp, insightful and aggressive litigator, he is the one to call. His results speak for themselves!

To be perfectly clear I do not think that there is a smarter more effective litigator in the country. He has not represented me and won in federal court litigations, but also large scale arbs, and achieved results in both, as well as mediations, that well exceeded my wildest expectations. In a world drowning with lawyers, Richard truly sets himself apart not just by his superior work but the fact that he genuinely cares about his clients as people. He has fought for me with all of his heart ( literally ) and for the past 16 years I have chosen only Richard as my go to, trusted attorney. I have also referred him a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BUSINESS and they are equally as satisfied.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Sharova Law. I trusted them with my case, but it quickly became clear that they were disorganized and lacked the expertise they claimed to have. Communication was poor throughout the process—I rarely received updates, and when I did, they were vague or last-minute. my case was shuffled through three attorneys, which two of them left the firm. Despite paying a thousands of dollars, the firm failed to properly handle key aspects of my case, leading to unnecessary court delays and a poor outcome had I had stayed with the firm. I feel like my concerns were not taken seriously, and they seemed more focused on collecting fees than achieving results. I would not recommend this firm to anyone seeking reliable legal representation. I regret trusting them with my case and would advise others to look elsewhere for a competent attorneys.

Definitely highly recommend this law firm be it for your personal reasons or business purposes. This office has been helping us for over 8 years in many matters. Always responding in a timely manner, which it is a very important point to a customer as myself. The office has many attorneys and paralegals and that’s also a point of showing the company is doing great bussiness. They are very aggressive when it comes to protect the interests of their customers.

Middle of a tax audit and I was so over my head. The auditor was pretty mean and kept getting more and more aggressive and I was getting super scared of jail or tons of taxes I would never be able to pay back. I called Delia Law the next day and hired them on the spot. Ms. Delia contacted my auditor that day and provided an immediate status to me. She had it under control quickly. She knew the issues and reviewed my case so quick and had all the answers and negotiation strategy. Her confidence in helping me was truly amazing. So grateful she was able to get me through this audit and to help stop an audit of other years. I am in her debt and am truly inspired that there are still some very good people in this world that want to make things better for others less fortunate. She’s the best!

There's no amount of money that could buy out the suffering with headache's and everything else that goes along with the tumor, but the people (same people who made some COVID injections) (Pfizer) let millions of women get the Depo- Provera shot for over a decade while neglecting to label the side affect that it could cause brain tumors.

Israel was recommended to me by a colleague at the large international law firm where I work. I retained him to represent a low-income friend whose neighbor filed a frivolous and baseless claim in Small Claims (Kings County) . Israel did a superb job. He explained things clearly, was very kind to the client (who is elderly and was frightened), and he was a forthright and fearless advocate in all appropriate ways. I work with excellent attorneys all year long, and now he is on that list.

I was fortunate to have found Paul! I tasked him with writing my prenup, and he was attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. I had zero prior experience with marital law, and I came to him with a ton of loose ideas for what my partner and I were looking for in the document. I knew it would be a difficult task to come to an agreement between all parties, and draft a legal document that satisfied everyone’s interests, but Paul came through. We worked together, and I found him very personable and easy to work with. He was able to break-down complex topics easily for me to understand and was extremely meticulous. Prenups can be a difficult endeavor for the parties involved, but Paul made the process extremely doable. We ultimately achieved the perfect document for our needs, which I am very grateful for. Will be recommending him to my friends and colleagues. If you need a prenup lawyer, Paul is your man.

He fought for me relentlessly and always was available even in some of my darkest times during my injury and recovery. His team at Wingate were always ready to help and available without delay. I don't think you would be able to find anyone better at representing you than this man. Don't waste your time with any other firm, these people know how to get outstanding results and life changing outcomes. His professionalism is second to none. As a former member of the operating engineers I would recommend any union member for his help when injured because of his extensive experience with labor laws and how our benefits are structured.

She and her team are quick to move into action and work though the contract components advocating for our position. We use Cari for all of our Trademarks and their renewal management. I would highly recommend Rincker Law, PLLC for your business needs.

I reached out to Cari for legal assistance after my ex-husband served me with expanded demands for an out-of-state visitation agreement for our teenage daughter. At the time, I had full physical/legal custody and my daughter was against the proposed travel schedule. Cari was a fierce advocate for both of us. She expertly managed a tense situation with compassion and strength. She stayed level-headed and expertly navigated negotiations no matter what the other side threw at us. From day one, I felt very taken care of and knew I could count on her to respond to all of my questions and keep me well-informed. Cari always took the time to explain the situation to me and the pros and cons of different paths we could take. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, she helped me feel empowered and secure. My daughter and I are in a better place now because of Cari and I encourage anyone in a similar situation to work with Rincker Law. I will always be grateful for Cari’s strategic abilities, attentiveness and interpersonal skills.

I cannot recommend Daniel highly enough. From the very first consultation, he displayed a level of expertise, compassion, and professionalism that set him apart. Navigating the complexities of a divorce can be overwhelming, but Daniel made the process manageable and even empowering. His ability to clearly explain every step, answer all my questions with patience, and craft a strategy tailored to my unique situation was invaluable. Daniel is not only a skilled attorney but also a great listener who genuinely cares about his clients' well-being. He balanced assertiveness in negotiations with a respectful, solution-oriented approach, which led to a fair and amicable resolution for everyone involved. If you are looking for a divorce lawyer who is knowledgeable, empathetic, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome, Daniel is the one to trust.

Working with Cannon was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He guided me through the process of applying for and successfully obtaining a trademark for my business. Trademarking can be a complex and time-consuming journey, requiring patience and attention to detail, and Cannon was thorough, professional, and supportive every step of the way. Even when my application was initially sent back due to missing information, Cannon clearly explained what was needed and helped me navigate the next steps with confidence. He was always available to answer my questions, providing clarity and reassurance throughout the process. Beyond his expertise, Cannon was an absolute pleasure to work with—his professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication made all the difference. I would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend The Kearney Law Group to anyone in need of legal guidance for their business.

On a good day Guardianship can be confusing and challenging, especially for a new Guardian. You are constantly familiarizing yourself with new information pertaining to a wide array of topics that come along quickly and consistently. At times you require help and insight from those with more experience specific to the legal intricacies that you may suddenly be encountering. I am thankful that in the vast sea of attorneys to choose from, that I was referred to Alison Arden Besunder of Goetz Fitzpatrick to assist me and the Guardianship in addressing an appeal brought on unexpectedly. Appellate work appears: unique to your case, detail focused, time consuming and requires nuanced skill and approach in response and execution. Ms. Besunder and the members of her team understood the record at hand and responded professionally, with a tone that was very much welcome and tracking with my efforts and focus as Guardian. They were: kind to me, understanding of the situation, communicative, along with being clear in their directions and in the answering of my questions. Ms. Besunder's experience and knowledge along with the efforts and kindness of her team in dealing with this legal matter were welcome during this unexpected and challenging time. Ms. Besunder and Goetz Fitzpatrick have represented me as Guardian and responded to the appeal on my behalf- which I'm very thankful of their efforts. Highly recommended and much appreciated.

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.
