Consumer Fraud

You Don't Have to Get Hit to Be Injured.

Corporate fraud and misconduct can cause serious injury to people and their finances. When businesses act dishonestly in the State of Montana, we are here to help you hold them accountable.

The Heenan Law Firm handles a wide variety of business misconduct throughout Montana, including:

False Advertising. Montana law prohibits businesses from making false representations to consumers. Montana law provides for statutory damages and attorney's fees for consumers who challenge such misconduct. Additionally, such conduct is generally not isolated, allowing for potential class action claims.

Predatory Lending. "Pay day" and title loan lenders are governed by a number of statutory requirements under Montana law, including the disclosure they must provide and the rates they can charge. (Click here to review Montana law.) When lenders fail to follow the rules, Montana law allows consumers to avoid the transactions and even recover statutory damages and attorney's fees.

"Lemon Law" Violations. When car dealers make false representations about a vehicle, we can help you stand up for your rights. Odometer fraud, title problems, and being sold a salvage vehicle are some of the types of lemon law violations we handle.
