CONSUMER LITIGATION AND DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES CLAIMS
Managing Risk and Protecting You From Consumer Complaints
Texas, like most states, has a general consumer protection statute called the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA). The act generally prohibits any deceptive acts or advertisements by a business. In addition to the DTPA, there are a great variety of specific consumer protection statutes as well as many federal statutes. Our firm’s practice is centered on litigation involving the DTPA and other consumer protection statutes, especially those involving consumers of credit and financial services. In the past, we have represented both consumers and businesses with success stories on both sides of the aisle.
Our mission is to keep your company in full compliance with all state and federal regulations and to avoid potential litigation or consumer complaints.
