Los Angeles Consumer Protection Lawyers

Consumers in Los Angeles have a right to be protected from unfair, deceptive, and unsafe business practices. Unfortunately, these violations can occur in many forms, from misleading advertising and hidden fees to faulty products and aggressive debt collection tactics.

If you’ve been wronged by a company in LA, you don’t have to stand by. Los Angeles consumer protection laws empower you to fight back and seek compensation for damages or injuries. The attorneys at Matern Law Group have many years of experience protecting Los Angeles consumers from a variety of unfair, deceptive, and predatory practices.

False Advertising

Deceptive advertising, also known as misleading advertising, is any published or broadcast statement (including television commercials, radio ads, print materials, and even product labels) that misleads consumers about a product or service. California has strong consumer protection laws, and the California False Advertising Law (FAL) prohibits businesses from engaging in such practices. If a deceptive ad leads you to purchase a product or service that doesn’t live up to its claims, you may be entitled to compensation for damages or injuries.

Product Defects

California and federal laws offer protection to consumers harmed by defective products. These include products that malfunction, cause injuries, or simply don’t perform as advertised. If you’ve suffered economic loss or physical harm due to a defective product in Los Angeles, you may be eligible for compensation. The experienced consumer protection attorneys at Matern Law Group can help you navigate the legal process and fight for the justice you deserve.

Privacy & Data Breaches

In today’s digital age, vast amounts of sensitive personal data – financial records, medical information, Social Security numbers – are stored electronically. Protecting this data is crucial, as data breaches can have devastating consequences for consumers. If you’ve been affected by a data breach in Los Angeles and suffered identity theft or financial harm, you may have legal options.

Data breach lawsuits can help hold companies accountable for failing to safeguard your personal information. Matern Law Group, with our team of experienced Los Angeles consumer protection attorneys, can help you navigate the legal process and seek compensation for damages.

TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act)

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a federal law safeguarding consumers from intrusive telemarketing practices  like robocalls, spam text messages, and unwanted faxes.  Enacted in 1991, the TCPA restricts the use of automated dialing systems (auto-dialers), prerecorded voice messages (robocalls), and unsolicited SMS texts and faxes by businesses.

Companies must obtain your prior written consent before contacting you, and they must honor the National Do Not Call Registry. If you’re receiving unwanted calls or texts in Los Angeles, a TCPA lawsuit may be an option to hold the company accountable and potentially recover compensation for damages. Matern Law Group can help you explore your legal options.
