Consumer Protection
Experienced Counsel for Consumer Protection Disputes
Consumer protection disputes often involve high stakes for both businesses and individuals. At Bassford Remele, we represent clients on both sides of these matters—defending companies against claims of deceptive practices and representing consumers who have been harmed by unlawful conduct.
Our attorneys handle litigation under state and federal consumer protection statutes, including cases involving false advertising, unfair debt collection, data security breaches, privacy violations, and deceptive trade practices. We have broad experience in individual lawsuits, class actions, and regulatory enforcement matters.
Dual Perspective, Strong Results
For businesses, we focus on risk mitigation, compliance strategies, and defense in complex litigation. For consumers, we pursue accountability and remedies to stop harmful practices and achieve compensation. Our dual perspective allows us to anticipate the opposing side’s strategy and deliver effective, results-driven solutions.
