“Thorough, direct, and helpful.”
“Mr. Landay assisted my dad and I with a case a couple years ago and we have not forgotten about this man. He was very thorough, direct, and helpful throughout the entire process. My dad doesn’t tend to trust many attorneys, but ended up trusting Mr. Landay due to the professionalism we experienced from him. He answered his phone every time we called and responded to emails in a timely and clear manner." — Melvin, 5-Star Review
Understanding California’s UCL
California’s Unfair Competition Law (UCL) prohibits unfair, deceptive, or misleading advertising and unlawful or fraudulent business practices. To pursue a lawsuit under California’s UCL, you must be able to prove that a business used unfair practices that affected your money or property. Our attorneys can guide you through matters such as:
False Advertising
Deceptive advertising, misleading guarantees, and disingenuous promises can harm consumers. Our attorneys can bring an action to hold a person or company accountable for their deception and pursue compensation when warranted. Examples include:
- Manipulating prices
- Using false reference pricing
- Exaggerating product descriptions
- Using fake endorsements in advertisements
- Using bait-and-switch marketing to trick consumers
- Infringing on another company’s intellectual property
- Leaving out important information about a product or service
Unfounded Accusations
False accusations are meant to harm your business’s reputation and cause you to lose revenue. Our attorneys can help you take action against an entity that has wrongly accused you of a misdeed and protect your financial future. Examples include:
- Accusing a business of selling unsafe or defective products without proof
- Falsely claiming a competitor engages in illegal activities
- Creating fake customer complaints or reviews
Unlawful Business Practices
An unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practice involves any action taken by a company that violates state or federal law. Our San Diego attorneys can help you pursue a lawsuit for unfair business practices, including:
- Conduct that misleads or deceives consumers
- Selling a good or service that harms consumers
- Undermining a business competitor in the marketplace
You Have 4 Years to Take Action
In the state of California, you have four years from the date of discovering the unfair business practice to take legal action. Failure to do so within this time limit can result in you missing out on restitution. If you’re facing unfair business practices in San Diego, CA, put an attorney on your side now.
Pursuing a Civil Case
A civil case is meant to stop a business from using a specific company practice. When filing a civil suit, an individual must be able to prove that a business used unfair, unlawful, or deceptive practices and these practices resulted in a significant financial loss.
Your civil suit can help you secure restitution for financial losses and issue an injunction that asks the courts to prevent the business from doing something harmful.
Pursuing a Class Action Lawsuit
Individuals are often hesitant to go up against big companies and their team of legal representatives. However, a class action lawsuit is an effective way to hold a giant corporation accountable, especially when they’ve made large profits on deceptive advertising or misleading claims.
A class action lawsuit is when one person or a handful of people file a lawsuit on behalf of a larger group after experiencing a common loss. As there are multiple plaintiffs and witnesses involved in a class action lawsuit, you may not have to take the stand and testify in your case, though our attorneys will be here to help you prepare for litigation if you are.
A Successful Class Action Lawsuit
Landay Roberts LLP has a history of representing clients in class action lawsuits and securing a favorable outcome. We once represented over 2,000 paramedic students against the National College of Technical Instruction. The college promised its students that they would receive preferential treatment and obtain jobs readily at American Medical Response. Unfortunately, this was not the reality.
Our San Diego lawyers obtained a summary judgment and then successfully settled the case. The students of the class action received hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution.
