Consumer Litigation Defense

Over the past twenty years, Berkowitz Oliver attorneys have defended motor vehicle manufacturers and other clients in hundreds of actions brought under various laws favoring the consumer, including the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, state lemon laws, consumer protection acts, the common law of contract and tort, and the law of equity. When such litigation places a manufacturer in court facing its own customer, who also typically asserts a claim for attorneys fees, it is essential that the advocacy be both effective and thoughtful, and the representation involves close collaboration and regular communication with the client. Attorneys in this practice group have taken numerous such cases to trial when necessary, and their experience in and knowledge of these complex areas of the law guide the client to make the right decisions and achieve the best results possible, as efficiently as possible, in every case, large or small.
