Scott Richard Kaufman
National Association of Consumer Advocates
I attended law school in my mid 30s after earning my degree in speech communications, traveling a bit, waiting on tables, running a small food business and teaching tennis for eight years. Translated, I had a bit of a life and a well developed personality and world outlook at law school, unlike so many "kids" who go straight out of college and learn only to fight. My job is to see your issues from the legal and non legal sides. I need to see how the other side thinks as well to end up with successful results.
I do not come from an ivory tower. I've been poor, very poor, for years, and whatever I have I have earned it on my own. Remembering that path and that climb is essential to everything I do, every day and why I fight for all that you deserve and usually try to get you a bit more than the law allows. That is why you will find excellent reviews out there on my practice. We strive to please in your time of need.

- Q. I had purchased first-class airline tickets on United Airlines and when I arrived at the gate was informed that there
- A: Under the basic operations of law, if you pay for X you are entitled to receive X and not less, not more. From that standpoint, you try to get what you can. Complicating matters, "maritime" (at sea) and I think "common carrier" (in the air?) but certainly covering planes and that type of travel, have different rules that are in play with them, so, you will need a specialty atty to answer these questions...
- Q. dealership and loan officer stated approved for a loan.Bring in paystubs etc. No down-payment.Lies and no deal. Illegal?
- A: Yes, a misrepresentation is illegal. That term is usually used for criminal law, 'unlawful' is more like it, here. Anyway, to WIN such a case one would have to not only prove what was alleged, but, one would also have to show 'damages.' For instance, IF they demanded a down payment now and you paid it AND it did not go through AND they did not return your $$$, those are real money damages. Good luck with it...
- Q. Purchased a preowned Rolex from an established jewelry store. However, I believe it’s not authentic. What are my rights?
- A: I'd have it inspected by another jeweler to see if you are right.
I'd go back in to complain about this, with one or more witnesses, if you are right.
I'd politely seek a refund if you are right.
IF this all fails, contact an atty and figure out a way to PROVE you are right, as once it
leaves the store, it's an easy argument for them to say YES, we sold you a real one and
YOU are trying to scam US by claiming otherwise...
