Consumer Protection Lawyer

Consumer protection laws exist to prevent companies from taking advantage of consumers by scamming, misleading or providing poor service among other practices. Because of consumer protection laws, consumers can file suit against the companies that wrong them. These cases are usually brought as class action lawsuits because there are often many plaintiffs wronged when consumer rights are violated.
