CONSUMER RIGHTS:

The District of Columbia has a strong law protecting consumers who have been taken unfair advantage of. The law applies to every kind of consumer/merchant transaction. We represent consumers where there are serious economic harms and especially where the merchant is guilty of a pattern of wrongdoing.

In March 2003, a jury in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia returned a verdict of $4.5 million in actual and punitive damages for six consumers who were the victims of fraudulent mortgage lending practices by First Government Mortgage and Investors Corporation.
