Consumer Litigation Attorney
Handling Complex Civil Litigation
Every day, insurance companies and financial institutions devise new ways to increase their profits. While most of this conduct is lawful, there are also many methods they employ which involve illegal and deceptive practices. These practices come at the expense of unknowing consumers.
There is an immense and powerful array of federal laws in effect which potentially combat these wrongs. These include:
- The Truth in Lending Act (TILA)
- The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
- The Fair Credit Reporting Act
- The Homeownership and Equity Protection Act
- The Fair Housing Act
- The Equal Credit Opportunity Act
Additionally, North Carolina affords some of the strictest protections for consumers in the nation through its Unfair and Deceptive Trade Act and its Predatory Lending Act. Unfortunately, many lenders disregard these rules, or skirt them by trying to stay one step ahead of the legal forms.

Dedicated to Protecting Your Rights as a Consumer
Consumers lose hundreds of millions of dollars every year through these violations. The methods by which consumers are financially harmed cover virtually a limitless landscape of wrongful practices. For example, banks may exact unlawful charges on credit card or checking accounts. Mortgage companies may impose hidden, unlawful fees. Payday lenders routinely extract grossly exorbitant interest charges. Financial institutions engage in “flipping” mortgage loans, throwing unsuspecting borrowers into a spiraling sea of debt. Some car dealers deceive customers by concealing the true purchase cost. Many hospitals bill uninsured patients at rates far exceeding reasonable charges.
The consequences of these acts include mortgage foreclosures, bankruptcies, and financial hardship on innocent consumers. Our civil right lawyer fights to protect our clients.
