Consumer Protection in New York
New York has a comprehensive consumer protection framework anchored by General Business Law §§ 349 and 350, which prohibit deceptive acts and false advertising in consumer transactions. New York also has strong attorney advertising rules under Rule 7.1, which require "Attorney Advertising" on all attorney communications and specific disclaimers for specialization claims.
New York's massive economy — including the nation's largest financial services sector, a dominant media and technology industry, and a huge retail market — creates significant consumer protection issues. New York consumers face high volumes of robocall activity, debt collection harassment, and consumer fraud.
National Consumer Advocates' New York practice is led by Leo Manon III, who is admitted to the New York State Bar. Our New York attorneys handle TCPA, FDCPA, FCRA, auto dealer fraud, and consumer fraud cases throughout the state, with particular experience in the New York City, Buffalo, and Rochester metropolitan areas.
New York Consumer Protection Law: New York General Business Law §§ 349 and 350
New York GBL § 349 prohibits deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any business, trade, or commerce in New York State. GBL § 350 prohibits false advertising. Both statutes provide consumers with a private right of action for actual damages or $50 (whichever is greater), plus attorney fees. For willful violations, courts may award up to three times actual damages (maximum $1,000 under § 349). New York Rule 7.1 requires 'Attorney Advertising' on all attorney communications and that any specialization claims include a source disclaimer in a font at least two sizes larger than the body text.
