Yvonne W Rosmarin

The Law Office of Yvonne W. Rosmarin is a Massachusetts law firm dedicated to the protection of consumers against illegal practices by creditors, debt collectors, car dealers, credit bureaus, mortgage lenders and other businesses that ignore your rights. We take many cases on a contingency basis with no out-of-pocket fees for our services. Call us and tell us about your case. The law gives you, as a consumer, rights regarding your credit reports, using credit, buying a vehicle, dealing with debt collectors and much more. Some businesses ignore these rights. We put the law to work for you.

We realize that the amounts of money involved in consumer cases may be small, or even negligible, compared to those involved in other types of cases. However, to consumers who have been wronged, these amounts may represent a significant portion of their income. The illegal conduct may have caused considerable difficulties other than financial loss, as well.

We provide quality representation to consumers who have been victimized by unscrupulous and illegal business practices. We help consumers assert their rights and stand up to the businesses that have wronged them. Using consumer laws and regulations, we help to resolve consumers’ problems with businesses or companies that use unfair, deceptive, fraudulent or predatory business practices. In appropriate cases, we can file class action lawsuits where others have been treated the same way.

For example:

• We understand that well-meaning consumers, who truly want to pay their debts, can find themselves in financial difficulty. They can be abused and maligned by debt collectors who do not care about their circumstances.

• We recognize that your credit report is one of your most valuable assets, essential to credit, employment and insurance transactions in today’s financial world.

• We know the tricks unscrupulous car dealers use in selling and leasing cars, and how easily they can take advantage of trusting consumers.

That is why we treat consumers’ problems comprehensively, looking at every possible angle. We apply consumer laws and regulations, empowering consumers and addressing the imbalance created by those who violate these laws. We put the law to work for you.
