Has a car dealer in Washington State scammed, hustled, or deceived you?

You’re not alone. The average consumer would be shocked to know just how often auto dealers engage in practices that violate the Washington Consumer Protection Act. Holding them accountable is rarely as easy as just pointing out their fraudulent conduct. Fortunately, a few of us know how to fight back.

An auto dealer fraud attorney serving the consumers of Washington State


Washington’s Consumer Protection Act (CPA) broadly prohibits unfair and deceptive acts and practices in trade or commerce., inlcluding auto sales. The acts and practices covered by the CPA are almost as varied as the predators, con artists, opportunists, and privateers who perpetrate them: unfair or deceptive sales, odometer fraud, bushing scams, lemon laundering, emission control stripping and failure to disclose damage are just a few of the ever-evolving scams that harm Washington consumers every year. Our attorneys take tremendous pride in carefully investigating these kinds of abuses, vigorously defending consumers against the scammers, and aggressively pursuing justice and damages on behalf of the victims.
