Consumer Protection Attorney in Columbus, OH

Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act (CSPA) protects Columbus-area consumers from unfair or deceptive practices in a consumer transaction — including misrepresenting a product or service's quality, and unconscionable acts like a supplier knowingly taking advantage of a consumer's inability to understand what they're agreeing to. The CSPA allows a consumer to rescind (cancel) the transaction or recover up to three times their damages, plus statutory damages, economic and non-economic damages, and reasonable attorney's fees where the law permits.

Campbell Perry Law has represented Columbus-area consumers against companies that misrepresented products, services, or terms for years — whether the issue involves a vehicle purchase, a utility signup, a personal loan, or debt collection harassment.
