There are both Federal and New York State statutes that protect consumers on a wide array of topics. These include warranties for the purchase of goods, including new and used motor vehicles; protection from deceptive business practices, false advertising and usurious loans; and protection from abusive debt collectors. Many statutes provide for the payment of attorney’s fees and costs to the prevailing party.
