It is an unfortunate fact of life that companies take advantage of unsuspecting consumers through deceptive and unfair business tactics. And oftentimes those illegal practices go unaddressed because of the relatively small size of the transaction or the fact that individuals cannot devote the time and resources to vindicate their rights.
Our team is highly regarded for litigating novel unfair and deceptive business practices class actions under state and federal consumer laws across the United States. We represent consumers and small businesses in a range of false advertising, deceptive marketing, and unfair business practices, including:
- Bait-and-switch and “negative option” marketing schemes
- Usurious interest rates and so-called “merchant cash advances”
- False advertising and mislabeling claims
- Hidden, inflated or excessive fees
- Other deceptive marketing and unfair business practices
Our goal is to bring a full measure of justice to consumers and small businesses while holding corporate wrongdoers responsible.
