Consumer Rights Attorneys
Protecting Your Rights & Holding Corporations Accountable Nationwide
As a purchaser of products and services, you have certain legal rights: To be treated fairly, to be informed about the products you use, to pay fair prices, and to be protected from harassment. Sadly, many businesses use unscrupulous practices to take advantage of consumers who do not know their rights or lack the means to stand up for themselves. All too often, these companies are not held accountable for their actions.
Common Types Cases Our Consumer Rights Attorneys Handle:
- Telemarketing violations
- Debt collection
- Auto dealer fraud
- Identity theft

Dedication to Consumer Protection
Our attorneys are committed to ensuring product safety and upholding consumer rights. They demonstrate this commitment through their active involvement in the Consumer Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan. This section provides education and information on consumer-related issues of concern. Through meetings, seminars, public service programs, and newsletters, our attorneys stay updated on the latest developments in consumer law, enabling them to better serve our clients.
Attorney Paul Matouka, a member of our team, currently holds the position of president in the Consumer Law Section. With his leadership and expertise in this area of law, he plays a crucial role in shaping discussions and initiatives that promote consumer safety. His dedication to this field ensures that our team stays at the forefront of consumer protection laws and regulations.
Another attorney on our team, Alyson Oliver, serves as the treasurer of the Consumer Law Section.
In this role, Alyson oversees the financial aspects of the section’s activities, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to support their mission. Her attention to detail and financial acumen contribute to the smooth functioning of the section and allow us to provide the best possible services to our clients.
Our commitment to product safety and consumer protection extends beyond our legal practice. By actively participating in organizations like the Consumer Law Section, our attorneys contribute to the development of policies that safeguard consumers’ interests. Trust in our team means trust in attorneys who will fight tirelessly for your buyer rights, for the rights of the people of Michigan.
Telemarketing Violations
Telemarketing companies use a variety of means to circumvent “Do Not Call” lists intended to protect consumers. If you have been contacted even after telling the callers to stop, you may be entitled to compensation. Don’t put up with their harassment. Call the Oliver Bell Group and find out what we can do to help you get justice.
Debt Collection
Many debt collectors use abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices when attempting to collect debts, such as calling at unusual times, threatening to take actions that they cannot or will not actually take, communicating false credit information, or attempting to collect amounts not permitted by law. These practices violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Michigan Collection Practices Act. You need an attorney with a comprehensive understanding of the state’s laws and years of experience taking on companies with deep pockets. Choose the Oliver Bell Group.
Auto Dealer Fraud
Because financing a vehicle is such a complicated transaction, fraud on the part of the dealer is quite common. For instance, a dealer might overcharge, commit odometer fraud, fail to show you the title, or fail to settle financing before completing the sale. You don’t have to take a financial hit because you dealt with a shady dealer. You can fight back with Attorney Alyson Oliver and her team in your corner.
Identity Theft
Over the past decade, the number of victims of identity theft has risen every year. False credit reporting can ruin your credit, make future purchases difficult or impossible, raise your insurance rates, and even threaten your career. Fortunately, there are legal remedies for consumers who have had their identities stolen. To take advantage of those remedies, you need an experienced attorney from our firm on your side. By connecting with the Oliver Bell Group, you will get honest and solid legal representation from a Troy consumer rights attorney focused on your needs.
