Criminal Law

• Fraud
  Has a home improvement contractor misrepresented its goods, identity, price or other material aspects of a home improvement contract? Has a car repair shop charged you for unauthorized repairs? Have you been ripped off by a telephone solicitor or door-to-door salesperson? Has a landlord wrongfully refused to return your security deposit within 21 days after you surrendered the residential rental unit? During a sales presentation, has a seller promised anything of value in exchange for referring friends and relatives, without giving you the compensation up front? Have you been the victim of other consumer fraud, scams, or consumer violations? If you have had these problems or other consumer problems, call for a fee consultation.

Your personal information is your name, birth date, address, Social Security number, drivers’ license numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, or other personal identifying information.

Even if you owe the debt, you have important rights relating to debt collection, summarized below.
