Beware of the Arbitration Clause
Have you ever purchases something only
to find out that the seller lied to you about
what you purchased?  As a consumer you
haver rights against dishonest salespeople
and dishonest business practices, and
outright fraud.  These consumer rights are
defined in the Texas Deceptive Trade
Practices Act.  
Cheated?  Consumer Fraud?
Get What you Paid For
How Sellers Misrepresent Their
Products to Buyers
  • Did the used car dealership "forget" to tell
    you that your car had been involved in a
    prior wreck? Did they tell you it had 10,000
    miles on it when it really had 110,000.

  • Did the used care dealership tell you that the
    automobile you just purchased had never
    been involved in an accident, only to find
    out that it had a "salvage title"

  • Did the car dealership tell you that the
    extended warranty you purchased would
    cover engine failure, and it didn't

  • Did the contractor you hired to remodel your
    bathroom knock holes in your wall and then
    refuse to repair them

  • Did the shop that changed your oil forget to
    put the oil plug back into your engine and
    now you need a new engine?
The above list is only a small example of the type of acts the DTPA protects you from.  If you
purchased or leased a good or service, and the seller misrepresented the quality of the good or
service, chances are the DTPA will protect you.

Under the DTPA, you are usually entitled to recover: (1) Money Damages; (2) Attorney Fees;
and (3) sometimes additional or punitive damages.  In some situations, you can even make the
Seller buy the defective good back, and pay your attorney.
Dan and Geoff will aggressively assert your rights under the DTPA.  We have handled many
cases, probably like yours, and have the experience and expertise to quickly and aggressively
assert your rights against dishonest salespersons and dishonest sales tactics.  
 
 
The DTPA protects consumers, who
purchase or lease goods or services.  Don't
let the seller or service provider take
advantage of you.  Make the Seller honor
his word.  Don't tolerate the defective
product you just purchased.  The rights
you have under the DTPA are YOURS,
but you must enforce these rights.
Don't be cheated by a dishonest seller
