CONSUMER & BUSINESS
UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES
It is no surprise that businesses sometimes use underhanded methods to make a profit, injure competitors, or avoid their obligations under the law. Unfair practices take many forms—misleading product advertisements, failing to provide required notices, and outright fraud, for example. If you or your business is losing money or property because of such tactics, I can help you recover those losses.
Fraud and misrepresentations
No one enjoys feeling taken advantage of, or as if they’ve been lied to. Fraud and misrepresentation claims breed contentious litigation, and having an attorney by your side who is experienced litigating such claims is a vital weapon. I have successfully litigated these claims for and against businesses my entire career.
Contract disputes
Criminal Investigations and Defense
Perhaps the most stressful of all disputes are those with the government. I have helped dozens of individuals and businesses during criminal investigations. While there is no easy way through an investigation, you will feel better knowing you have an experienced attorney there as your advocate.
Few consumer and business disputes occur without a contractual claim arising in some regard. Experienced attorneys like me know how to use that contract as part of his litigation strategy, as opposed to just another claim.
