Consumer Fraud Attorneys

We're Here to Help

If you are a victim of a fraudulent act, you may feel defenseless. But know that you are not alone. In a 2013 study by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), 25.6 million Americans, or 10.8 percent of the U.S. adult population, were victims of fraud.

If you are a victim of business or consumer fraud, do not act alone. Seek legal representation you can count on.

Business and Consumer Fraud

Though very closely related, business and consumer fraud have slight differences. Business fraud occurs when there is a deceitful practice by a business that causes economic injury.

Consumer fraud occurs during a business transaction when a false statement of fact is made, or the person who makes the false statements knows they indeed are false, and the other party involved in the transaction was relying on these false statements.

Common types of fraud include:

• Prize promotions
• Work-at-home opportunities
• Low credit repair scams
• Debt relief
• Mortgage relief

While business and consumer fraud are sadly rather common, it can be difficult to prove it has occurred without a keen legal understanding. To prove a fraudulent even has occurred, you must prove:

• A false representation of fact
• Made by another
• With the knowledge that the representation was false when it was made
• There was an intention to induce the plaintiff to act or refrain from acting in reliance on the false fact
• Damage occurred to the plaintiff as a result of the reliance
