Wallace assisted me with a consumer claim involving a national sporting goods store and handled the case in a direct, professional, thoughtful and timely manner. He was communicative throughout the length of the case, providing updates on the progress and status of the case when necessary. Wallace has the best interest of his clients at heart and will do what it takes to ensure wrongs are made right and that all parties are satisfied. Before I engaged Wallace, the case was difficult and frustrating to manage, but when he came on board, he took action and had a plan for resolve. I'd highly recommend Wallace and will seek out his expertise in the future if the need arises.

Mr. Hammons represented me in my legal suit against a contractor who terminated work on an existing contract without any notification. The contractor was pre-paid for the majority of the contract and had completed only a portion of the work. The law suit was against the contractor's bond to recover pre-paid expenses for unfinished work and the expenses to repair the unfinished work that was damaging the property.
Mr. Hammons was very professional and personable to work with. He also was very efficient in preparing the legal documents to expedite closure of the case.

I worked on 2 different cases with her. One for consultation to launch a business with my partner. And another one was to build a paper contract for my existing business. Both of the case, she took time to break down to help me understand very well, and that was a big eye opening experience for me. As a small business owner, it makes me feel so safe and protected knowing I have someone who is very helpful and devoted like her. She works very quick.
I highly recommend to work with her, especially for female entrepreneurs.

Unlike most lawyers, Ms. Nasser is a great person. Honest, efficient, brilliant and beautiful. She will tell you if a matter is a waste of time and will not waste your money unlike some lawyers who take on a loser of a case.

She answered my question perfectly. :) Very thorough and uncomplicated answers are exactly what I need, because I sometimes can't quite grasp what all the legal terms and phrases mean. Thanks so much for your kindness. It makes things much easier when trying to get through the processes of starting a business! It always boggles my mind when people choose to help others as a career path, but show no respect to the people who come to them for help.

My wife and I were attempting to start a woman's only massage in West Hollywood and were denied by the LA County Sheriff's department.
We subsequently hired Adam to assist us in preparing for and appearing at an appeal hearing in front of the City counsel, and we were victorious!
Adam told us from the jump, there were no guarantees. After it's all said and done, everything he said would happen, happened .
I have worked for law firms for the better part of 15 years and I'd hire him again. We are very happy to have hired Adam and would highly recommend you contact him for a consultation.
Thanks Adam,

Thanks Adam!!!

After receiving a false positive drug test 6 months before ending my 3 year probationary period on my LPT license, and calling several attorneys, Mr. Brown was the only that believed in me. I knew for a fact that I did not take anything to jeopardize my case, Mr. Brown was able to put me at ease. He patiently worked on my case and kept open communication. He stuck to the facts and never asked me to plea to something I didn’t do. He took that leap of faith and I was cleared of these charges. I want to thank Mr. Brown as I am now off probation and my license is cleared. I can now move on with my life and new doors will start to open. Mr. brown is professional, knowledgeable, detailed and straight up no nonsense kind of man! I highly recommend him to fight for you!

Well, my lawsuit is still underway but everything is going great. It was a shock to discover the death of my brother and to learn that his "friend" had "appropriated" all of his assets. TLL jumped right in to freeze the assets and start the process to get justice for my brother and fulfill his true wishes.

First and foremost I'd like to thank the team , and Mr.Pittera for reuniting me back with my daughter!
A case like mine isn't something that you go about willy nilly, and for good reason.
Im so happy that I chose Joseph to represent me. Not only did he accept to represent me in my case,but he did in a time frame that was a bit on the short side. I knew I was in good hands right off the bat at our first meeting. I say this because of the attention to detail, confidence, and passion that Joseph, his Wife, and their secretary showed. Yep , that's right , family helping families!
Although my case was Family Law, I now have a lawyer for all aspects in Law,as I know Joseph is versed in multiple areas and can strategize with the best of them. Let me tell you you something that I was in awe of. When Joseph and I were in the courtroom and he was speaking to the Judge, he commanded the room. Not even 20 minutes into the case and the Judge was nodding her head and agreeing with all of the points Joseph was putting out ! I knew I won right then and there, and we sure did!
If you are looking for someone to represent you in your upcoming case , please help yourself and choose this amazing professional!

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.
