Consumer Protection & Business Litigation

Everyone, individual or business, agrees to certain obligations when they sign a contract. If either party fails to fulfill any of the requirements of the agreement, a breach of the contract has taken place. A number of types of actions — or failures to act — can constitute breach. We can help you with broken promises and unjust acts that can cost you time, money, and aggravation.

Construction defects, design defects, material defects, or poor workmanship, reduce the value of commercial & residential properties and threaten the health & safety of occupants. We can help hold builders, contractors, and manufacturers liable for failing to perform their duties with the generally expected degree of competence.

The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) is Texas’ primary consumer protection law. It was established to provide some protection for consumers from fraudulent or deceptive businesses. If you are a business consumer who has been a victim of fraud or deceptive trade practices, including false advertising or misleading claims, you may be entitled to financial compensation for damages and attorney fees.

Consumers Protection laws stop banks or other debt collectors from engaging in harassment or other unacceptable behavior. When you hire an attorney, the debt collector must contact your legal representation — not you — with regard to your debt, which may provide immediate relief from the harassment. If you have been harassed, or are unsure whether your debt collector’s actions qualify as harassment, we may be able to help.

Fraud and misrepresentation occurs when an individual or business engages in any false or deceptive practice that causes financial harm and can pose a serious threat. We can help you recover any financial damages you’ve suffered because of the dishonest acts of an individual or business.

When running business operations, issues can arise from conflicts in personality, disagreements between shareholders, violations of guidelines, breach of duties or bad faith situations. We can help with disputes over funding, asset division/misuse, breach of agreement, theft of trade secrets, unfair competition, obstructed access, confidentiality agreements/violations, non-compete agreements/violations, minority shareholder oppression, and buyout agreements.

Whether it is a valuation dispute with the appraisal district or you are entitled to exemptions, tax deferrals, tax incentives and special assessments under state and local property laws, we can help commercial and personal property owners reduce excessive property tax values.
