Consumer Law

Consumer law is continuing to grow and progress as one of the most prevalent areas of modern law. This is due in no small part to the internet and the national and global scale on which today's corporations transact business. As businesses mass market and sell, either directly or through the internet, it is important for consumers to know their rights and protect their interests.

A core concentration of this office involves consumer law and protecting consumer interests. Many businesses violate the law through unfair or deceptive business practices such as false advertising and fraud. Some violate the law by failing to comply with consumer protection statutes. Others place consumers in dangerous situations due to design or manufacturing defects in their products. The McClain law office is committed to pursuing these and numerous other consumer law claims on our clients behalf. A non-exhaustive list of consumer law cases this office handles are:

• Unfair and Deceptive Business Practices (such as fraud, misrepresentation, violations of the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act)
