Consumer Fraud Lawsuits

Countless acts of fraud are committed against consumers every day. Consumer fraud lawsuits are being brought in cases of credit card fraud, identity theft and travel scams, just to name a few. For victims of consumer fraud, lawsuits are a necessity because thousands of dollars can be lost in a single transaction. However, the victims in consumer fraud lawsuits are not only the consumer. Corporate entities, such as the credit card company in an identity theft case, also suffer, which is why it is important to work with a legal firm that knows the ins and outs of preventing and handling consumer fraud lawsuits.

As a leader in the Consumer Financial Services industry, Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB) counsels our clients that offer consumer financial services and products. Prevention is key, so we help our clients minimize their exposure to consumer class action litigation. If consumer fraud lawsuits do come to fruition, we use our wide network of experience, including attorneys around the country and in Europe, to defend these types of claims. The SHB Consumer Financial Services Law Practice has considerable experience in consumer fraud lawsuits representing banks, credit unions, mortgage companies, consumer lenders, auto lenders, credit card issuers and retailers. In addition to offering a broad range of legal services at the local, regional and national levels, we are visible before federal and state regulatory agencies as we provide compliance counseling and regulatory advice.

Consumer Financial Services is a highly regulated industry, so we closely follow legal developments and court decisions to enable us to always provide our clients with effective and cost-efficient solutions. Our attorneys have provided advice and counseling on issues relating to the full range of statutory schemes, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Uniform Consumer Credit Code and Truth In Lending Act (TILA).
