UDAAP is an acronym and it stands for unfair, deceptive, abusive acts and practices. Every state has their own UDAAP law and UDAAP laws became important after the 2008 financial crisis. Under each state's UDAAP law, and each state is slightly different, consumers have the right to go after big companies for deceptive practices, unfair practices, false advertising. So for example, most of my clients we help under UDAAP statutes, we're going after cable companies, internet companies, security systems, cell phone providers, getting people money damages for their out-of-pocket costs. And then the state UDAAP statutes have what's called a fee shift provision, so the other side who we're suing, pays our fees and costs. Our clients don't pay us a dime.
