Consumer Law
Unfair and deceptive practices
are prohibited by both state and federal law. There are
effective remedies, including triple damages and payment by the
defendant of a consumer's legal fees,
if legal advice is sought at an early stage.
Here are a few of the areas where legal action may be needed:
Home mortgage loan problems
are especially prevalent with so-called subprime loans to
higher-risk borrowers. Predatory behavior by these lenders is
not uncommon.
Our region is the home of some of the nation's largest
check-cashing services and
vehicle title lenders.
They are permitted to charge annual interest that is exorbitant,
but they are not always content with what is lawful.
Wrongful foreclosure or
repossession can occur, and there are ways to defend
against it if you contact an attorney as soon as it is
threatened.

Motor vehicle fraud is one of the most common problems,
and we will litigate when it occurs. |
Stock,
bond, and commodity
brokerage account disagreements can sometimes be
resolved by negotiation without securities arbitration (which is
usually required by contacts) or litigation.
Consumer arbitration is an
expensive, prolonged, and unfair process that we usually seek to
avoid but will utilize in exceptional cases.
