Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a case?
Every situation is different. If you have been harmed by inaccurate credit reporting, debt collection harassment, unfair lending practices, identity theft, foreclosure issues, or other consumer-related misconduct, you may have legal rights. A consultation can help determine whether a company violated federal or state consumer protection laws.
How much does it cost to speak with an attorney?
We offer free consultations to discuss your situation and determine whether we may be able to help. During your consultation, we will explain your legal options and answer any questions you may have about the process.
How long do consumer protection cases take?
The timeline varies depending on the facts of the case, the parties involved, and whether litigation becomes necessary. Some matters can be resolved relatively quickly, while others may take longer. We work to pursue efficient and effective resolutions whenever possible.
Can I still have a case if I owe money?
Yes. Owing a debt does not give a company the right to violate consumer protection laws. Even when a debt is valid, debt collectors, lenders, and other businesses must comply with federal and state laws.
What compensation may be available?
Depending on the circumstances, consumers may be entitled to compensation for financial losses, statutory damages, emotional distress, attorney’s fees, and other remedies available under federal and state law.
Is my consultation confidential?
Yes. Information shared during your consultation is treated confidentially and allows us to better understand your situation and determine whether we may be able to assist you.
What if I'm not sure which practice area applies to my situation?
That’s okay. Many consumer issues overlap multiple areas of law. We can review the facts of your situation, identify potential legal issues, and discuss the options available to you.
