California Consumer Law

Our consumer law practice focuses on litigation to protect consumers from abuse by businesses and establishments. Most cases focus on disputes relating to financial institutions or privacy disputes.

Consumer law cases focus on interpreting the laws of the state and federal government to make sure that you can do business in California without being taken advantage of. Generally the laws protect consumers from deceptive trade practices, identity theft, financial crimes, and false advertising.
