Texas Consumer Fraud Attorney

If you are the victim of fraud, then you should know that the State of Texas has on the books some of the strongest anti-fraud provisions in the United States. Foremost among them is the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA). The DTPA (Texas Code 1741) is a wide-ranging statute that affixes responsibility not only on primary wrongdoers, but also imposes stiff penalties (including punitive damages of triple the amount taken from you through fraud), on anyone or any company that contributed to your financial damages.

Some instances of fraud punishable under the DTPA are:

• predatory lending
• home improvement scams
• securities fraud
• pyramid schemes
• deceptive telemarketing
• false advertising
• spam e-mail campaigns
• odometer tampering
• unnecessary car repairs
• breach of warranty
• illegal annuities

Dallas consumer fraud attorney Scott Palmer has aggressively litigated DTPA claims on behalf of numerous defrauded consumers. He knows the intent behind the enactment of the DTPA: to punish dishonesty in the purchase and sale of goods and services in the State of Texas. He is prepared to take your claims all the way to trial, if necessary. He prepares each individual case with the goal of going to trial in mind. This kind of preparation, coupled with the authority of the DTPA, puts substantial pressure on people and companies who attempt to defraud consumers.

If someone has lied to you in order to secure their own financial gain, then you are entitled to effective representation in the courts. Please contact Dallas consumer fraud attorney Scott Palmer at his Dallas office.
