For Consumers

Telecommunications and Utilities Companies

These industries are notorious for taxing on additional and unauthorized services and fees and for making it even more difficult consumers to have these charges reversed.  Pay a fair price for the services you order, that’s it.

Identity Theft, Electronic and Computer Privacy and Privacy Torts

Sarelson Law Firm is proud to represent individuals who have been the victim of identity theft, whose private, confidential information has been misappropriated, stolen or negligently disclosed by banks, financial institutions and other larger corporations.  We also represent individuals who have been victimized by the theft of electronic and stored data communications.  Congress has recently enacted legislation to provide great protection to people you regular store and transmit financial and otherwise sensitive information through the internet and other electronic mediums.  We also fight for your privacy and your reputation by bringing defamation and invasion of privacy lawsuits.

Insurance Fraud

Perhaps no industry in the United States is more morally corrupt and greedy than the insurance industry.  We represent insurers in first-party claims against their own insurance company (such as a homeowner suing on homeowners policy) and other individuals and businesses in insured litigation, including bad faith claims.

Credit Cards and Financial Services

Sarelson Law Firm was one of the leading firms nationwide in representing consumers under the 2003 amendments to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (known as FACTA).  Matthew Sarelson was featured on the front page of the National Law Journal for bringing some of the first FACTA lawsuits against online merchants.  Sarelson Law Firm litigated against some of the largest, publicly traded corporations in America who were represented by the largest and most well-known defense firms.  Sarelson Law Firm also represents individuals harmed as a result of bad credit card or other loans.

Antitrust and Deceptive Trade Practices

Sarelson Law Firm represents individuals and small businesses who have been victimized by deceptive and unfair trade practices.  Many industries are run like near-monopolies (telecommunications, car rentals, transportation companies through fuel charges, the oil and gas industry) and this has a disastrous affect on consumers by increasing price without any added benefit to you.
