Consumer Law
The attorneys at Schulze, Cox & Will have unique experience in consumer litigation, having provided representation to both consumers and business. We have counseled hundreds of clients and have tried cases both defending small business owners and protecting consumers from unconscionable acts on both the trial and appellate level. Attorney Faye D. Cox has testified before the Ohio House and Senate with regard to changes to the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act as it relates to homebuilders, resulting in her receiving the Presidential Citation for Outstanding Services to the Ohio Home Builders Association. This experience and knowledge has proven to be invaluable to our clients.
If you are a business owner, contact us to review your existing contracts and estimates to ensure that you follow Ohio’s consumer laws. A simple review of these documents may save you from paying treble damages and attorney fees. If you are being threatened with suit for non-compliance, we can also advise you as to the applicability of the consumer laws to your situation.
If you are a consumer and are unhappy with the goods and services supplied, contact us to evaluate the actions of the supplier to determine your rights. Prompt action is often necessary so don’t delay.
If you are an attorney representing either a consumer or a supplier, we also provide arbitration and mediation services.
Ohio has a broad range of laws enacted to protect its consumers, including the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act, the Ohio Home Solicitation Act, The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Ohio's "Lemon Law."
Whether you are a small business owner who provides goods and services to consumers or a consumer contracting for goods or services, knowing the coverage and applicability of these consumer laws can be imperative. Moreover, these consumer laws and their requirements consistently change due to amendments to the Acts, case law interpretation, and Ohio Attorney General Opinions. As such, both small business owners and consumers need to rely on experienced consumer attorneys to assist them.
