How we match your Centennial consumer protection case

When you submit a Centennial consumer protection matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A consumer protection matter needs someone who handles consumer protection work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Colorado law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Colorado who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

In Colorado consumer protection cases the law can shift your attorney’s fees to the other side — you keep your recovery.

Most Colorado consumer protection cases are fee-shifting — the CCPA, FDCPA, TCPA, and FCRA all require the wrongdoer to pay your attorney fees on top of your recovery. For larger affirmative damage claims (data breach, identity theft, class actions), attorneys may use a 33%–40% contingency on recovery instead. Case costs are typically advanced by the firm.

Colorado law requires landlords to account for deposit deductions in writing, and failing to do so can expose them to added liability. Keep your lease, move-out photos, forwarding address record, and any written demand you sent. An attorney can send a proper demand and file in the appropriate Arapahoe County court if the landlord does not respond.

Yes. Both Colorado and federal law restrict how collectors may contact you and what they can claim you owe, and misidentified or already-paid debts are common. Save voicemails, letters, and a log of calls. An attorney can demand validation and pursue the collector if the conduct crossed the line.

Colorado sets deadlines that vary by the statute and the type of conduct involved, and some consumer claims run on shorter timelines than people expect. Delay can foreclose otherwise strong claims. A Colorado attorney will confirm the specific deadline that applies to your facts.

C.R.S. § 6-1-105 lists dozens of enumerated deceptive trade practices — false advertising, bait-and-switch, false price comparisons, unconscionable conduct, and a catch-all. The 2019 SB19-181 amendments removed the public-impact requirement for private suits, making it dramatically easier for individuals to sue.

C.R.S. § 6-1-113(2) provides the greater of $500, actual damages, or three times actual damages, capped at $500,000 per individual. Treble damages require a showing of bad faith. Attorney fees are also recoverable for prevailing plaintiffs.
