Consumers too often suffer the brunt of corporate wrongdoing, particularly though the use of false or misleading advertising, outrageous pricing for essential products and services, and the widespread use of unsolicited advertising practices. The attorney members of the Social Justice Law Collective have represented classes of consumers ranging from several hundred to over 100,000 in a variety of class actions designed to protect consumers and fight against abusive business practices. 

 

Telephone and Text Message Advertising

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (FTSA) protect consumers from unwanted and unsolicited fax, text message, and telephone solicitations. Despite the fact that the federal law has been in existence for over 25 years, businesses continue to barrage consumers with unending phone, fax, and text message solicitations, passing on their advertising costs to consumers by using their fax machines and cell phones as a means to promote their products and services.

 

The TCPA and FTSA provide a right to sue for those who have been harmed by such abusive advertising practices. If you have been the victim of such practices, please contact one of our offices or fill out the form here.

 

Medical Price Gouging

With the proliferation of profit-driven, private hospitals, price gouging for essential medical services and procedures has become unfortunately commonplace. Rather than serving those most in need, many hospitals have instead built profit-based models designed to extort the most out of the sick and vulnerable. Even if unpaid, the existence of these bills have untold consequences on those victimized by these billing practices.

 

Fortunately, there are underutilized laws designed to protect consumers against such predatory practices. If you have been charged exorbitant amounts for hospital-provided medical services, please contact one of our offices or fill out the form here. Together, we can make a difference.
