How Should I Protect My Rights?

The Montana consumer fraud lawyers of Hoyt & Blewett PLLC have a record of standing up for the rights of consumers in all walks of life. Companies are in the business of making money. They will not necessarily put consumers’ interests first and may intentionally defraud the very people they are supposed to serve. Our attorneys are strong advocates for consumer protection. We use our experience, our reputation, our resources, and our skill to protect consumers’ rights by helping them recover the losses they’ve suffered.

We Are Advocates for Consumer Protection

If you have been subjected to unfair business/commercial practices, begin by writing down the date and description of the events (i.e. who, what, when, where, how, and why). You should include verbal statements since most cases of wrongful conduct occur over the phone (instead of e-mails and other forms of written communication). Identify the names and contact information for all parties involved. If you write down this information, you will avoid forgetting details, expedite evaluations and investigations, and, ultimately, strengthen your claim. 

You should also keep a copy of all relevant documentation, such as contracts, notices, emails, letters, pictures, etc.

Please contact us at (406) 233-1302if you would like a free evaluation of your case.
