At HSGLaW, we believe consumers deserve to be treated fairly. When companies cut corners, deceive customers, or put profits over people, we step in to hold them accountable. Our Consumer Protection practice is dedicated to fighting for those harmed by unfair, unsafe, or dishonest business practices.
If you’ve been the victim of fraud, false advertising, defective products, or dangerous pharmaceuticals, you’re not alone — and you have rights. We help consumers across the country recover what they’ve lost and stand up to some of the world’s most powerful companies.
Our Firm’s Consumer Protection practice is dedicated to defending individuals against fraudulent pricing schemes and deceptive sales practices that prey upon everyday consumers. In a marketplace where corporations often wield vastly greater bargaining power, strong enforcement of consumer protection laws is essential to ensuring that free markets operate fairly and that individuals are not exploited at the expense of their hard-earned money. Our attorneys have a proven record of success in this field, having recovered billions of dollars from corporations that put profits ahead of honesty, and returning those funds to the consumers who were wronged. With deep experience and nationwide reach, we are committed to holding powerful companies accountable and protecting the rights of consumers across the country.
What Is Consumer Protection Law?
Consumer protection law is a body of rules and regulations that exist to ensure fair trade, truthful advertising, product safety, and access to justice for people who buy goods and services. When companies break these laws — whether by selling defective products or misleading their customers — consumers can take legal action.
Common Consumer Protection Violations:
- False or deceptive advertising
- Fraud or misrepresentation
- Defective products or medical devices
- Unsafe prescription drugs
- Warranty violations
- Unwanted telemarketing or robocalls
- Hidden fees or predatory loan practices
We help individuals and groups of consumers recover compensation, stop illegal practices, and push for industry-wide changes that protect the public.
Our Track Record in Consumer Protection Cases
HSGLaW has a proven history of winning complex consumer protection cases across the country. We’ve secured hundreds of millions in settlements on behalf of everyday people wronged by large corporations.
Notable Cases:
New England Compounding Pharmacy, Inc.
Our attorneys played a major role in the national litigation surrounding a deadly fungal meningitis outbreak caused by contaminated steroid injections. We helped achieve more than $230 million in settlements for victims across the U.S. This case remains one of the largest healthcare-related consumer protection actions in recent memory.
Volkswagen “Clean Diesel” Emissions Scandal
Our firm helped consumers take on one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world after it was discovered that Volkswagen installed “defeat devices” in diesel vehicles to cheat emissions tests. This deception affected millions of drivers and led to more than $11 billion in total settlements. We helped hold VW and its co-defendants accountable and ensured compensation for defrauded consumers.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) Cases
We have successfully brought multi-million-dollar claims under the TCPA on behalf of consumers harassed by illegal robocalls, spam texts, junk faxes, and telemarketing calls. Our firm fights for privacy rights and ensures companies are held accountable for aggressive or deceptive outreach.
Miller v. General Motors
We recently had a national class action lawsuit in the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of Chevy Volt purchasers. The case alleged fraud, breach of warranty, and deceptive trade practices involving the vehicle’s battery performance and emissions claims. We’re fighting to ensure affected drivers get the compensation and transparency they deserve.
How We Help Consumers
When you’ve been misled or harmed by a product or service, the path forward isn’t always clear. That’s where we come in. We guide you through every step of the process, from investigation to resolution, with the goal of restoring what was lost — and often much more.
Our Consumer Protection Services Include:
- Investigating consumer fraud and deceptive practices
- Representing individuals and groups in class actions or mass torts
- Filing lawsuits in state and federal courts
- Negotiating settlements or taking cases to trial
- Holding companies accountable through strategic litigation
We also partner with subject-matter experts, medical professionals, economists, and investigators to build the strongest case possible on your behalf.
Types of Consumer Protection Cases We Handle
Our practice covers a wide range of consumer-related issues. We’re especially experienced in:
Dangerous Pharmaceuticals and Defective Medical Devices
We represent patients injured by unsafe prescription drugs or faulty medical products. From untested medications to defective implants, we help hold pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers accountable.
False Advertising and Deceptive Marketing
When a company lies about a product’s safety, performance, or ingredients — or fails to disclose crucial information — we pursue legal action for fraud and misrepresentation.
Defective Products
Consumers trust manufacturers to produce goods that are safe to use. We’ve handled claims involving everything from faulty electronics to unsafe cars, ensuring clients are fairly compensated for injuries, property damage, and loss.
Robocalls and Spam (TCPA Violations)
We help people take legal action under the TCPA when they’re subjected to repeated robocalls, spam texts, or unsolicited telemarketing — especially when they’ve opted out or never gave consent.
Breach of Warranty and Lemon Law
When a company refuses to honor its product guarantees, or when a vehicle repeatedly fails to meet performance standards, we help consumers get refunds, replacements, or compensation under warranty and lemon laws.
Why Consumer Protection Matters
Consumer protection law is about more than money — it’s about fairness, trust, and safety. Without it, companies could get away with misleading ads, harmful products, or deceptive pricing schemes without consequence.
By standing up for your rights, you help:
- Prevent future harm to other consumers
- Hold corporations accountable
- Push for better business practices
- Demand truth in advertising
- Support industry-wide transparency and fairness
We take pride in fighting not only for individual recovery, but also for systemic change that benefits millions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a class action, and can I join one?
A class action allows a group of people harmed in similar ways to bring one collective lawsuit. If a class action exists for your issue, you may be automatically included or may have the option to join. We can help you understand your rights and next steps.
How much can I recover?
Recovery amounts vary depending on the nature of the harm. Compensation may include refunds, repair or replacement costs, statutory penalties, emotional distress damages, or punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct.
How do I know if I have a case?
If you believe you were misled, overcharged, or harmed by a product or service, reach out to us. We offer free consultations to help determine if your situation qualifies for legal action.
Do I have to pay anything up front?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis in most consumer protection cases. That means you don’t pay unless we recover money for you.
