Have an Experienced Litigator in Your Corner
Every dispute is unique. We work with you from the beginning to understand how the dispute impacts you or your business and we design a case strategy specific to your goals. Our extensive experience, expertise and skills can help you or your business get the right result in a cost-effective manner. Where it makes sense, we will help you resolve your business disputes early, often without the need for courts or arbitrators. We know that litigation is not always the best business strategy, and that clients can often succeed by finding creative solutions that avoid protracted legal battles.
But, when litigation is inevitable, you need an attorney who knows how to win effectively and aggressively. As a business litigator, we are capable and willing to take a case through trial and every level of appeal. Sometimes that enables us to achieve successful settlements, and other times it means going the distance. We have helped our clients succeed at all levels of state and federal courts in New Jersey.

That experience enables us to guide you through the litigation process and to assess resolution opportunities, often helping clients find creative ways to resolve their contractual disputes.

New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act
Despite existing consumer protection laws designed to prevent deceptive
practices, consumer fraud persists, including false advertising, overcharging,
undisclosed fees, and other dishonest tactics. Every state has enacted a
Consumer Fraud or Unfair Trade Practices Act, with the New Jersey Consumer
Fraud Act standing out as one of the nation’s most robust.
Our attorneys, specializing in consumer rights, are well-versed in the New
Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and have successfully represented numerous clients in
fraud cases. Originally intended for the Attorney General’s use, the Act was
amended in 1971 to empower private citizens, allowing law firms like South
Jersey Law Center to pursue lawsuits on behalf of individuals wronged by
businesses. This amendment expanded remedies to include treble damages (triple)
and the recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs.
The New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act serves three primary purposes: 1) compensating
victims for actual losses, 2) penalizing sellers through treble damages, and 3)
attracting competent counsel to combat fraud by providing incentives for
attorneys to take cases involving minor losses. Liberally construed in favor of
consumers, the law discourages bad behavior and protects unsuspecting
consumers, resulting in significant consumer protection from New Jersey Courts.
At South Jersey Law Center, LLC, we advocate for numerous consumers harmed
by unscrupulous merchants, covering various businesses and services, such as
home improvement contractors, real estate, telecommunication services, vehicle
sales and leasing, vehicle repairs, and a diverse range of other products and
services. Our consumer fraud lawyers passionately represent clients, working to
recover damages caused by unfair or deceptive practices from fraudulent
entities.
