Consumer Protection

Consumer protection laws regulate the relationships between consumers and the businesses that sell their customers goods and services. Consumer protection laws derive from both state and federal law. These laws include:

• Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act
• Louisiana Consumer Protection Act
• Federal Real Estate and Settlement Procedures Act
• Federal Truth in Lending Act
• Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act
• Federal Credit Repair Organizations Act

The attorneys at Melancon | Rimes have successfully represented consumer protection lawsuits ranging from one (1) individual plaintiff to approximately 160,000 individuals in a single class action. Melancon | Rimes strongly believes in protecting consumers through the class action mechanism, which often provides the only meaningful way to stop businesses that harm many individuals in a very small amount. Businesses know that its not always worth the time, effort and expense for a single individual to file a lawsuit, but a class action presents a viable and economical way to secure justice and the reimbursement of ill-gotten profits.
