How we match your Colorado consumer protection case

When you submit a Colorado 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.

Get started How DearLegal works

DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Fee-shifting — if you win, the other side pays your attorney’s fees

Colorado’s Consumer Protection Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-101 et seq.) bans dozens of enumerated deceptive trade practices and grants private plaintiffs the greater of actual damages, $500, or three times actual damages (capped at $500,000 for individuals), plus attorney fees. The 2019 SB19-181 amendments expanded private rights and removed the public-impact requirement for individual suits. The AG’s Consumer Protection Section enforces statewide. Federal statutes (FDCPA, TCPA, FCRA) layer on top.

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.

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.

No, but the AG’s Consumer Protection Section investigates patterns and sues on behalf of the state. Filing a complaint creates a public record. Personal recovery requires a private suit.

The FDCPA awards $1,000 statutory damages per lawsuit, actual damages, and attorney fees. Colorado’s Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (C.R.S. § 5-16-101) layers state-law claims. Document every call.

Dispute in writing with each bureau (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). They have 30 days to investigate under FCRA § 1681i. Willful violations under § 1681n recover $1,000 statutory plus actual damages, punitives, and fees.

Yes. The TCPA awards $500 per call/text, trebled to $1,500 for willful violations. Colorado also has the Colorado No-Call List (C.R.S. § 6-1-901) with separate state penalties.

Colorado’s breach notification statute (C.R.S. § 6-1-716) requires notice within 30 days. The statute does not provide a direct private right of action, but the CCPA, common-law negligence, and federal statutes provide overlapping remedies.
