Consumer Credit Defense

Sometimes, despite every reasonable effort, our clients find themselves in consumer credit litigation. Our attorneys regularly defend our clients against the following claims: Consumer Fraud; Truth in Lending Act; Fraud; Breach of Contract; Wrongful Repossession; Fair Credit Billing Act; Class Action; Equal Credit Opportunity Act; and Warranty. In addition, we assist clients in responding to regulatory investigations and subpoenas.
