Consumer Law - Conkle, Ellis, Fergus, and MacDowell

The law provides broad protection to consumers harmed by improper business practices. Virtually any consumer transaction is covered, whether it involves the purchase or repair of an automobile, the purchase of a home or condo that has not yet been built, home repairs, contracts signed at a consumer’s residence, the purchase of a gallon of milk at a local grocery store.

Consumer laws also provide important legal protections for businesses, including guidelines to enable businesses to stay in full compliance with the law when selling to consumers. Compliance is generally simple and straightforward, yet all too many businesses have found themselves non-compliant, a situation that can be quite costly.

In addition to providing legal protections to businesses, consumer laws give purchasers more confidence in everyday transactions, whether they be on-line, with the corner store, or with a major national retail chain.
