Under California law, consumers enjoy sweeping protections against unfair business practices. In our state, victims of unfair business practices can file suit to seek damages including:
- Money paid for goods or services
- Losses related to money paid for said goods or services
- Any costs incurred due to the unfair business practice
- Attorney and related legal fees
Consumers must make a demand in writing before filing an unfair business practices lawsuit in California. The attorneys at Kirtland & Packard can help you with the draft of this letter and all subsequent actions based on the company’s response.
