Consumer Fraud

Birmingham, Alabama Consumer Fraud Attorneys

A state attorney general is limited in the protection they can provide to consumers from fraud; they only have so much staff and can investigate only so many cases. At the Birmingham, Alabama law firm of McCallum Hoaglund Cook & Irby, LLP (“MHCI”), we take pride in serving as a legal check against companies that commit consumer fraud. Even in an era where consumer protection is limited in Alabama, we have had a successful track record in litigating against companies that commit consumer fraud.

Our lawyers have a track record of successfully representing Alabama businesses and individuals victimized by:

• Predatory lending
• Unfair trade practices
• Fraudulent billing
• Credit card scams
• Fair Credit Reporting Act violations
• Unfair debt collection practices
• Credit counseling and debt management scams
• Mortgage fraud
• Broker fraud
• Denied disability claims
• Insurance bad faith
• Other types of consumer fraud

Compensation for victims of consumer fraud in Alabama may include out-of pocket damages, mental anguish, lawyer fees, punitive damages, and other types of damages. In addition to compensating consumers, our lawyers seek to change business practices so that the fraud does not continue.

Our Alabama consumer protection lawyers handle fraud cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay us any attorney fees up front. If we are successful in obtaining compensation for you, your fee will be a percentage of your award. If we are not successful, you will owe us no attorney fees.

We handle many consumer fraud cases as class actions when a group of individuals or businesses are similarly harmed and the amount of damages is not enough to warrant individual actions.

A National Consumer Protection Practice

The lawyers at MHCI often work in collaboration with consumer protection lawyers in other states to initiate legal actions against offending companies on different fronts and to protect consumers from new and emerging types of consumer fraud that move across state lines.
