So, the Consumer Fraud is one of the areas that we’ve been involved in, both in class actions and individual cases, both prosecuting cases and defending businesses in Consumer Fraud cases.

One interesting case that we recently did was for one of the largest diamond wholesalers in the world. They got sued in a consumer fraud case here by a lawyer who, as part of his strategy, went to publicize the case in the newspapers, and he printed the whole lawsuit in the newspapers. So, we flipped that around on him, and we sued him and his client—or his client—for libel in federal court.

Suddenly, this case, where our client was being humiliated in the lawsuit, turned around, and they had to drop the whole lawsuit after we flipped it on them and sued them for defaming our client about this case. And we were able also to show that almost all the facts in the case were not true and received an apology letter from the plaintiff as the exclamation point to end the case.

We also represent, for years, in both class actions and individual cases, consumers who have been cheated. One area we specialize in is suing car dealers who might sell flooded vehicles and rebuilt wrecks to consumers.

This summer, we just did an arbitration—a lot of the car dealership cases are by arbitration—via Zoom. We were able to get a client who had been cheated $10,000 by a Ford dealer on a used Ford. We were able to get him not only all his money back, the $110,000 he was cheated—that was the overcharge on the car—but also $10,000 for aggravation and inconvenience, $60,000 in punitive damages, and then all our attorney’s fees.

And it’s because we have so many years of experience and know so much about the car business and Consumer Fraud that we were able to achieve a result like that.
