In a perfect world, a business would advertise features or benefits of a product or service — and deliver as promised. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. When a business or individual engages in false advertising or does not deliver goods or services as promised, a legal remedy may be your best solution.
Roger G. Jain & Associates, P.C., is a Houston, Texas, based law firm that has experience in successfully resolving disputes related to deceptive trade practices and false advertising. Since 1993, our attorneys have been effective advocates in the courtroom for small businesses and consumers.
Resolving False Advertising Disputes
False advertising is essentially a lie that is knowingly told in order to win your business. It can refer to a product or a service.
A consumer protection or false advertising case could include:
- A deer breeding business that did not deliver the caliber of stud deer promised
- A bait and switch car dealer that promised "over 100" models of cars on the lot but only had two
- A mortgage lender that advertised a favorable interest rate or terms but at the last moment changed the terms or interest rate
Trebling of Damages
If you have been the victim of a knowing deceptive trade practice such as trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition or misrepresentation, Texas law calls for trebling the damages. In addition to treble damages, Texas law also has provisions for mental anguish damages if the misrepresentation was knowing or intentional.
