Consumer Fraud

Jim O. Whitworth focuses his consumer fraud practice on matters involving the sale and lease of automobiles, trucks, boats, RV’s, yachts, luxury cars and other big ticket consumer purchases.

In addition to his Lemon Law practice, Jim O. Whitworth represents clients defrauded by dealerships in other ways, including:

• Failing to Disclose a Vehicle’s Repair History
• Failing to Disclose Prior Accidents
• Misrepresenting a Vehicle’s Negative Equity
• Odometer Rollbacks
• Lease Fraud
• Loan Fraud / Overcharging Interest

A particularly disreputable practice is when a dealership or other person salvages a vehicle or boat that has been declared a total loss, cleans it up, and sells it without disclosure to the unsuspecting consumer. In addition, sometimes dealers will try to re-sell a vehicle that was returned under the state Lemon Law, without identifying it as a “Lemon Buyback” as required by law. A title check can often uncover the true history of problem vehicles. Jim O. Whitworth has the skill and resources to uncover these underhanded practices and assist consumers in suing to rescind the sales contract and get your money back.
