CONSUMER PROTECTION LITIGATION
Major consumer purchases, when they go wrong, can cause significant disruption to a household. When a family or individual spends thousands of dollars and ends up with a defective home or inoperable automobile, it has a major effect on daily life. Lance welcomes opportunities to help victims of consumer fraud and deceptive trade practices. These kinds of cases are often as much about confronting disrespectful treatment of a consumer as they are about recovering an economic loss.
Residential Real Estate Fraud
A seller’s misrepresentation, concealment, or failure to disclose major defective conditions in a home can make life miserable for a misled buyer and result in significant economic loss. Lance provides experienced representation in real estate fraud cases.
Deceptive Trade Practices Act
Texas law offers special protection for consumers against false, misleading, and deceptive business and insurance practices through the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. This statute is broadly applicable to most consumer transactions and may be employed in a wide variety of circumstances to redress instances of unfair consumer exploitation. Lance has used this legal tool to secure favorable outcomes for clients against auto dealers, repair shops, health clubs, and landlords.
