Deceptive Trade Practices Attorneys Fighting For Cincinnati Consumers

Businesses owe their customers honesty. When a company uses false advertising, hidden fees or bait-and-switch schemes to take advantage of consumers, Ohio law gives you the power to fight back. Attorney Rick DeBlasis brings over 45 years of financial litigation experience to DeBlasis Law Firm, LLC. The firm‘s legal team is ready to hold deceptive businesses accountable under the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act.

Deceptive Trade Practices The Firm Handles

Deceptive business practices are not always easy to spot. The attorneys at DeBlasis Law Firm, LLC, handle claims involving:

  • False and misleading advertising: Promoting sale prices or product features that are simply not true
  • Bait-and-switch tactics: Luring you in with a low price, then pushing you toward a more expensive purchase
  • Hidden fees and surcharges: Adding undisclosed charges or “junk fees” at the final point of sale
  • Odometer and vehicle history fraud: Misrepresenting a used vehicle’s true condition or mileage
  • Deceptive internet and subscription billing: Signing you up for recurring charges without your clear consent

If any of these situations sound familiar, you may have a valid legal claim.

Tracking The “Bait-And-Switch”: When Advertised Cincinnati Deals Turn Deceptive

A bait-and-switch happens when a business advertises a price it never truly intends to honor. Under the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act, this qualifies as an unfair or deceptive act. The key legal question is straightforward – did the seller act in good faith? If not, Cincinnati consumers may have grounds to pursue compensation.

Striking Back Against Hidden Fees And “Junk Charges” In Southwest Ohio

Ohio law and federal FTC guidelines require businesses to disclose all mandatory fees before you pay. When auto dealers, hotels or service companies add surprise charges at checkout, they may be violating consumer protection rules. If that happened to you, you may be able to recover what you were overcharged.

Did False Advertising Cost You? Treble Damages Under The Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act

Ohio law does not just help you recover what you lost – it may allow you to recover far more. Under the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act, courts can award treble damages of up to three times your actual financial loss when a business knowingly misled you. Courts may also order the business to cover your attorney fees. The attorneys at DeBlasis Law Firm, LLC, can review your situation and tell you whether these remedies may apply to your case.
