What does a “Consumer Lawyer” do? Here’s what I’m working on this summer

When I tell people that I’m a consumer lawyer, they always ask: “what does a consumer lawyer do?”  I don’t know why, but after many years in the trade, I still have a problem answering the question in a way that is meaningful.  That being said, here are some of the things I’ve been working on this summer:

– Pension assignments to Voyager Financial Group
– Uncleared liens by (defunct) Avco Financial Services
– Lawsuits over student loans by National Collegiate Student Loan Trust and Educap
– Collection cases involving Cach LLC, Unifund, Midland Credit Management and more
– American Water Resources, Inc – water and sewer line protection plans
– Credit repair organization contracts
– Undisclosed rebuilt wrecks
– Cell phone harassment
– Mortgage foreclosure defense
– Credit report issues
– Lawsuits by Driver Solutions, LLC. and Medtech College

Summer?  What is this “summer” of which you speak?
