 CIVIL LITIGATION
- Consumer Fraud | Under Minnesota Statutes § 325F.68-69,
the Prevention of Consumer Fraud Act, a lawsuit can be brought against a party which has used fraud, false pretense, false
promise, misrepresentation, misleading statement or deceptive practice, with the intent that others rely thereon in connection
with the sale of any merchandise.
EMPLOYMENT LAW
- Breach of Contract | Minnesota Statute §181.13 provides
penalties against employers who fail to pay wages promptly after a request from a discharged employee.
- Discrimination/Sexual Harassment | Claims can be brought
under both state and federal law if an employer has discriminated in hiring, promotion or firing based on discrimination or
sexual harassment.
FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT (FDCPA)
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act precludes debt collectors from using
unfair and deceptive practices to collect consumer debts.
FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT (FCRA)
The Fair Credit Reporting Act prevents credit reporting agencies
from certain unfair practices and also allows claims against users of consumer reports if they obtain the reports in violation
of the FCRA.
PERSONAL INJURY/DRAM SHOP
I have represented individuals in claims against parties for personal injury
matters and violation of the Minnesota Dram Shop Act, Minnesota Statute § 340A.801 - 802. Dram Shop actions involve illegal
sales of liquor. Claims can be brought against those who have sold liquor illegally if they resulted in injuries or death
to persons.
CORPORATIONS
I assist clients in forming small corporations either to continue their
business or to start a new business.
WILLS
I assist people in preparing their Wills so that their wishes are carried
out after their death. Usually their children are provided for by setting up a trust in the Will and appointing guardians
for the children.
