What does a consumer protection attorney do?

A Consumer Protection Attorney advocates for individuals against unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. They help clients with issues such as false advertising, predatory lending, identity theft, and illegal debt collection. These attorneys may file lawsuits, negotiate settlements, or work with government agencies to enforce consumer protection laws. Their goal is to ensure fair treatment and hold businesses accountable for misconduct.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a consumer protection attorney, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Consumer Protection Attorney, you need a law degree, state bar admission, in-depth knowledge of consumer protection statutes, and strong litigation skills. Familiarity with legal research platforms like Westlaw or LexisNexis, as well as relevant certifications in consumer protection law, is typically required. Excellent analytical thinking, negotiation abilities, and clear communication are vital for building cases and working with clients. These skills enable attorneys to effectively advocate for consumers, ensure compliance, and achieve favorable outcomes in complex legal matters.

What are some common challenges faced by consumer protection attorneys in their daily work?

Consumer Protection Attorneys often encounter challenges such as keeping up with evolving regulations, managing a high caseload, and dealing with aggressive corporate legal teams. They must balance thorough case investigation and research with tight deadlines and limited resources. Effective communication with clients—who may be stressed or unfamiliar with legal processes—is essential. Navigating these challenges requires attention to detail, persistence, and strong organizational skills, but overcoming them can be highly rewarding as you advocate for consumer rights and justice.

Job description

Consumer Protection Attorney — Plaintiff Side Consumer Finance (Hybrid)

Ever pulled a client's credit report and found a mortgage they never took out? A background check that cost someone a job because it confused them with a felon two states away? That's our practice. R23 Law represents consumers against the credit bureaus, banks, debt collectors, and background check companies that control every American's financial life — and answer to almost no one until a plaintiff's lawyer shows up.

R23 Law (r23law.com | wesuebanks.com | classactionhelp.com) is one of the busiest consumer protection firms in Los Angeles, and our bottleneck is attorneys. We have settled matters waiting to be negotiated and a docket that grows daily. We need a litigator who wants to run cases, not watch them.

Hybrid/Remote (California) with court appearances as needed. You'll work directly with the firm's founder and a full litigation support team.

  • No billable hour minimum

  • Production-driven compensation with a fair minimum base & upside total comp

  • Autonomy and long-term growth potential

Compensation:

$136,000 - $155,000 yearly


Responsibilities:

  • Manage your own caseload of consumer actions under statutes such as the FCRA, FDCPA, TCPA, and California consumer statutes (no prior experience with these statutes required — we'll get you up to speed fast)

  • Negotiate settlements directly with defense counsel at the nation's largest firms — most of your day is deal-making, not document review

  • Take and defend depositions, handle law-and-motion, and appear in state and federal court

  • Talk to real clients about real harms — financial fraud, credit denials, lost jobs, wrongful collections — and deliver real money back to them

  • Leveraged work – Litigate with a full support team behind you: litigation specialists, paralegals, and a robust tech stack that handles the drudgery


Qualifications:

  • Active California bar admission

  • 2–8 years of civil litigation experience from any background — plaintiff-side, defense, government, or clerkship; what matters is that you can run a case and close a settlement

  • Persuasive communicator, in writing and on the phone

  • Curious, tech-forward, and rigorous — every citation checked, every work product owned

  • Motivated by results and comfortable being measured by them


About Company

Founded by former biglaw and class action litigators, we go up against major corporations and banks like Goldman Sachs and Apple — and get results.
