The District of Columbia has a strong law protecting consumers who have been taken unfair advantage of by merchants.  The law applies to every kind of consumer/merchant transaction.  We have represented consumers who have suffered serious economic harms, especially where the merchant is guilty of a pattern of wrongdoing.  For example, Stein, Mitchell & Muse handled a 2003 case in which a District of Columbia jury returned a verdict of $4.5 million in actual and punitive damages for six consumers who were the victims of fraudulent mortgage lending practices by First Government Mortgage and Investors Corporation.
