I reached out to Webber Law Group during a very hard time in my life with a potential case. I was very discouraged at the time because other law firms that I reached out to not want to take on my case. Luckily, I found Webber Law and Kelsey took my case on! I really enjoyed working with everyone, anytime I had a question I would most immediately get a call back from Kelsey. My case almost approached 2 years (at no fault to the law firm) and Kelsey was always positive, upbeat and very wonderful at helping navigate the challenges faced. I couldn’t have got through that time without the support and help of Kelsey and his team. I know for others in my position it is scary to seek help from an attorney and you never know who you are dealing with and if they are qualified to assist you but I truly am so thankful to have found this law firm and I highly suggest putting your trust into Kelsey and his team. Thank you so much Kelsey, I am forever grateful for your guidance, patience and hard work!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Brooks at a charitable function that he was hosting and he made a terrific impression. We traded war stories and the amount of experience and expertise he has was very apparent. I would confidently recommend him based on that alone, but have also heard of his stellar reputation elsewhere making this recommendation even easier.

We had to seek legal help due to an accident. We were not at fault and simply wanted the other insurance to pay. They tried to play hardball and deny the payouts. We got law Arnold firm involved (friend referral) and they were able to compensate us for our trouble! We were not expecting any compensation but were glad we did, dealing with the other car insurance company was stressful (even when they were at fault) and Arnold law firm took the job off my hands, we would recommend using them, and will go back if we need anything in the future.

I want to thank Andrew Minney, the lead lawyer, and his excellent team including Deana Morales and Luke Herngren for handling the legal matters following the car accident, and TBI injury for my child. It takes a team of people like this group to stay on top of filings and procedures, so there are no glitches. The process was a long one but smooth. Next, I want to thank them for referring us to Dr. Fong a Neuro-Optometrist that has resorted balance back to our child. This Firm can not only handle the logistics of court proceedings, but also has rehabilitation resources that Kaiser couldn’t help us with nor even diagnose. Lastly, it was their professionalism, kindness, and humanity that earnestly gave us hope this matter would resolve fairly and rightfully, and it did. Thank you all.

I had a private student loan with AES, American Education Services. The loan amount was for 88,000. I had paid on the loan for 6-7 years. Ran into some hard times and wasn't able to pay it. And for about 5 years I had no contact with AES nor did I make a payment. I was sued, showed up on my door step and served me papers.... I cant tell you how many attorney's tell you "kick rocks" when they hear what type of debt I had. Linda was able to take care of this. My case ended around 2015 in El Dorado County. The debt still showed up on my credit report as of July 2018.. By October 2018 the student loan is gone. All three reports show AES is no longer on my credit. Linda is GREAT!!!!! I feel like Linda helped me win the lottery. AES would have followed me for ever.. I would have never been to move on with me life. LINDA GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK.... THANK YOU LINDA!!!!!

Mr Scharg signed a contract to represent me four months ago in a lawsuit. Four months went by and he did nothing on the case. Then he sent me a letter saying that he was not going to represent me in a lawsuit but he would only send a demand letter and negotiate if the person responded. Two weeks after the person did not respond Mr. Scharg sent me a closing the case letter. He is someone I would definitely not recommend. I feel he's only going to take cases where he thinks he can make the most money.

I paid Trevor Carson $7,000.00 to do work for me. He quit for no reason. I filed a complaint with State Bar. He lied 21 times to avoid discipline. I sued him in small claims court. He has missed four court dates. He sued me for threatening and harassing him. Do not trust this man. Gerald Wilcox

I hired him in March of 21 to help with a state licensed cannabis business litigation. I paid about 3k for him to send one certified demand letter and about 2 emails with the company. Come to find out they had contacted him 5 times about my case during December when I had emailed him for 3 weeks (no response) asking for an update if he heard anything he said no. He never sent me the emails or told me about them (Definitely worthy of a bar complaint) he just said he was busy and was no longer able to handle my case. Mind you he charges around $34-100+ per email even if he says "no news". He and his assistant contacted me constantly until I paid then he went m.i.a. everything he did I could have done for free for myself after 1-2 hours of research. I only hired him because he led me to believe he would go to litigation with me if needed (also a lie). He also didn't tell me that as part owner of the company I can request records from the city/state myself. The absolute worst customer service and minimal knowledge. How this guy passed the bar let alone is the head of the bar in Sacramento is beyond me. I should never have to apologize for my attorneys profound incompetence or have better communication skills than him. You can find much better for cheaper than this waste of time and money.

How do you write a wrong? By doing what's rightt. Ivy Holden is a dear friend and client of this lawyer He has scheduled hearing that she and her husband had to fly from LA where they reside and did not show up nor have the professional courtesy to notify her, booked flights, hotel states, etc. Donald Fraulov falsely assured Ivy for years he would get a fair settlement., knowing that a check had been issued by Workers compensation 20 years ago??? ivy has 9 surgically implanted screw in her back and has advanced in age. been strung along for more than 20 years. I'm speaking about this because this lawyer told her Worker's Comp. sent her a check for $38,000 in 1997 to the address that I currently live in and have been since 1993. Ivy has never received such a check nor have I she asked this attorney to produce a copy of the check showing where it had been cashed and by whom. He did not do so he told her her case was selling for $1000 and that was the best he could do he was taking 25% of it and he was retiring in a month. From April 4, 2017. He told her in addition to the 1000 settlement amount she was entitled to a mileage check only if she could get all of her information in by the end of April . This lady worked paid her dues paid her insurance fees and was seekink what she believed was the Best in Legal representation. Yet, something is very wrong I personally believe it's not too late to right this wrong . there are numerous unanswered questions that her Worker Comp Adjuater should answer. But they cannot and will not talk to her as long as she has an attorney . This is just wrong. There is still time to correct this.

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.
