The Federal Trade Commission is the nation’s consumer watchdog. It’s the agency responsible for protecting the people’s interests when it comes to truth-in-advertising standards. FTC agents are also the ones who will come after businesses for indulging in questionable promotional schemes or marketing tactics, like negative option marketing and deceptive payment schemes.

They can even refer cases to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. This could be a significant infringement on your quality of life, and it can hinder your ability to make a living.

Because there are so many different types of actions that the FTC and states’ attorney generals could investigate, it’s important to get advice from an attorney who has experience in these types of cases. Some of the common FTC cases include infringements of the CAN-SPAM Act and the Consumer Credit Protection Act.

If you’re facing this type of investigation, consult an FTC defense lawyer. In the pro-consumer, pro-regulation environment of today, resources favor the party with the financial and legal resources to pursue claims. The government has an unlimited amount of legal and financial resources to pursue a claim. So, it could be extremely difficult to defend yourself without the help of an attorney.
