The firm represents clients in the defense and prosecution of a wide array of consumer fraud matters. Our litigation team has considerable expertise in the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (CFA), which protects businesses as well as individual consumers from deceptive, misleading, and fraudulent business practices. We focus on the representation of businesses in the prosecution and defense of claims under the CFA. For consumers who have suffered ascertainable losses due to fraudulent activities such as false advertising, the misrepresentation of products or services, or bait-and-switch scenarios, the CFA provides for the recovery of treble damages (three times the actual loss), along with attorney’s and court fees. For businesses accused of consumer fraud, the impact of those claims can bring significant financial and reputational damage.
Our litigators aggressively defend clients facing CFA claims, developing a tailored strategy to achieve a favorable resolution, minimize financial exposure, and mitigate impacts to the business’s reputation.
