Consumer Fraud Defense
It is understandable that the law makes provisions for consumers to take legal action if they are the victims of consumer fraud or other misleading practices. In Texas, the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act allows for consumers – both individuals and businesses – to take legal action if they think they are the victims of consumer fraud. Of course, not all accusations of consumer fraud are true, and no matter the situation, each accused business deserves a vigorous defense.
Unfortunately, some individuals or businesses file lawsuits based on frivolous or falsified accounts. The Austin business litigation attorneys at Slater, Kennon & Pugh Ltd.LLP are ready to defend your business if it is being accused of deceptive trade practices or consumer fraud.

Types of Consumer Fraud Accusations
There are many fraud accusations that consumers or other businesses could level against your company. These charges could include:
- Making misleading statements about a competitor
- Making misleading statements about the need for repair work
- Charging excessive fees
- Claiming that a used product is new
- Participating in price gouging
- Providing misleading information or false documents
No matter the validity of these claims against you, your accusers can cause serious problems for your business by changing your focus, slowing down your work, and possibly causing harm to your reputation.
