Winborne LaFleur PC founding shareholder, Joseph "Jody" LaFleur obtained a judgment for over $30,000.00 in a case against a crooked contractor for violations under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

The Texas Deceptive Trade Practice Act (DTPA) provides relief for consumers in Texas that have suffered losses after relying on business practices that were unfair, false, misleading, or deceptive. The DTPA is a vital consumer protection law in the state of Texas. If you have been misled by false or misleading practices by a business, the DTPA may be an option that can provide you with the legal tools needed to properly recover from the harm you received.

The DTPA is designed to protect consumers from a wide range of deceptive actions such as false advertising, hidden fees, or misrepresentation of products and services. Whether you have purchased a defective product, been misled about a service, or faced some other form of dishonest or unfair conduct, the DTPA could be a great option for you to recover from the losses you have faced or are currently facing.

The DTPA provides an entire “Laundry List” of prohibited practices. That list encompasses over 30 types of deceptive acts. A few examples of some of the prohibited acts are false statements about a product's quality, hiding known defects, and taking advantage of a consumer's lack of knowledge.

If a company has made false claims about the quality of its products, failed to disclose important information, or otherwise engaged in fraudulent behavior, you may be eligible to seek compensation. The DTPA provides for the recovery of actual damages, mental anguish, attorney's fees, and possibly even punitive damages depending on the degree of conduct committed. Winborne LaFleur helps clients navigate the complexities of the DTPA and to sue wrongdoers so our clients receive the compensation they deserve.
