Call or e-mail our law office to schedule a consultation regarding any of the following matters that commonly affect consumers in Texas and nationwide:
- DTPA (Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Protection Act): Did a merchant or other vendor pass off goods or services as those of another? Cause confusion or misunderstanding as to the source, sponsorship, approval, or certification of goods or services? Use deceptive representatives or designations of geographic origin in connection with goods or services? Did you suffer economic loss as a result? Talk to one of our attorneys.
- Insurance Bad Faith: Did an insurer deny a legitimate claim? If so, we may be able to show that the insurance company was in breach or violation of the contract. The insured can then file a law suit for to recover the damages that should have been paid on the claims, and the additional expenses that arise out of suing the insurance company might be able to be collected, like court costs and attorneys fees.
- Protection from Creditors/Debt Collectors: Creditors and debt collectors must follow established rules and protocol that are designed to protect people's identities, reputation and right to privacy. Talk to a lawyer if you are being hounded by creditors or debt collectors in ways that you question.
- Lemon Law: Be wary of purchasing an automobile from a dealer without inspecting the title. You may discover that the car was returned by a previous owner as a lemon.
- Manufactured Housing Standards Act: Talk to one of our lawyers if you suspect or discover that illegal actions of others have resulted in harm or loss. For example, was a manufactured home installed or installation performed (like tying down or re-leveling), by someone without a license?
- Breach of Warranty: Was a product defective or not as should be expected by a reasonable buyer?
- Landlord/Tenant law: Leger Adkins, LLP represents both landlords and tenants in matters such as evictions, collections and security deposits wrongful withheld.
- Dram Shop Liability: Bars, restaurants and other establishments that serve alcohol to guests have a duty to withhold service to people who are obviously inebriated. After a personal injury caused by a drunk driver, for example, a business may bear "dram shop liability," or in other words, some of the fault.
