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. How to sue a used car dealer out of state?
- A: Sorry for your issues. In this instance, even the advice I always give when buying a car, ie, 'go see it in person' would not likely have helped, as once the CEL is turned off, it usually says off for a few hundred miles. The dealers know this and it's one more thing in their web of cheat. Give William Bensley in Philadelphia a shout, he is solid in this area of law and may be able to help. Please tell Bill I said "hello."
- Q. I received a gift certificate as a Christmas gift and it's not being honored
- A: Sorry for your issues. You will cost them more than the amount of the certificate if you take them to small claims court. The time alone is too much for them and if they have to hire counsel (lawyers can be expensive and a corporation cannot represent itself in court) it will cost them more still. Good luck with it...
- Q. I ordered an engine package costing me 8k and was told would be a 6 month wait. it has been 9 months.
- A: THE law on your issue is on this page/link I have provided and it essentially says: IF you have not yet received your items you can cancel. You may have issues with an out of state seller??? You may need a lawyer to 'scare' them straight?
