Our consumer rights practice consists of various federal laws to help people with financial issues. For example, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Those three federal statutes protect consumers and under those statutes, there's what's called a fee shift provision. What that means is our fees are shifted to the other side so our clients don't pay our fees and costs. Under those federal statutes, our clients are entitled to money damages and our fees and costs are paid by the defendant, and therefore our clients never have to pay us for our time.
We are a different kind of law firm and that’s on purpose. At Agruss Law Firm, we see you as a person and not just a client, and that makes us better at what we do. We are not just lawyers and you’re not just a client. We’re friends, neighbors, and family. This is a show about all things legal-ish that friends, neighbors, and family want to know.
