Consumer Protection

Even though our practice is not focused on consumer protection issues, we will generally assist any of our clients who have been taken advantage of by unscrupulous salesmen, brokers, or other charlatans, whether by direct representation or referral to those agencies better equipped to help on a particular matter. If you feel as though you have been taken advantage of in any of the following situations, please contact us immediately:

 

  • Someone is trying to sell you something, and you believe it would be wise to consult with an attorney before doing so. Please note, if you have already entered into a contract for purchase and have now had second thoughts, please contact an attorney immediately as your ability to cancel purchase orders is subject to certain time limitations under Florida and Federal law (generally 3 days) and primarily applies to home solicitations sales. If in doubt and you are unable to reach an attorney before you believe the three days has expired, send a letter with your name and address (contract and order number if any) by certified mail, return receipt requested to the vendor indicating that you are canceling the order effective immediately. See an attorney as soon thereafter as possible. The exceptions to this law are quite complex and require a case by case analysis.

  • You've been approached by someone who is attempting to sell you annuities and you are over the age of 65.

  • You planned your estate through a last will and testament, and now you've been to a free lunch or dinner "seminar" which has convinced you that you need a living trust. You may or may not need one
