False Advertising Lawyers Serving New York, New Jersey & Nationally

Federal law prohibits the use of misleading or intentionally deceptive advertising. Any claims made about a product must be backed by factual substantiation. If you are harmed by false advertising, you are encouraged to report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission for investigation. You are also entitled to seek monetary compensation through a class action lawsuit. Contact Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C. to speak with a false advertising lawyer free of charge and fully explore your legal rights.

What Do You Need to Prove in a False Advertising Lawsuit?

Consumers can prove false advertising lawsuit cases if they can show that:

Do You Have a Case?

Let our experienced class action attorneys determine whether you have a case. Reach out to our firm today.

A product was advertised in a false, misleading, or inefficient way.
The company lied about something “material” or important.
They witnessed the false advertisement prior to purchasing or using the product.
The false information led them to purchase, use, or pay more for a product they wouldn’t have otherwise invested in, had it not been for the deceptive advertising.

A false advertising lawsuit can also be filed for omitting critical information. The company can then be held liable for “failure to disclose.”

Companies face criminal and civil penalties for false advertising. New York’s General Business Law allows consumers to collect up to $50 in statutory penalties for each false ad. In addition, consumers may also be able to sue for damages to recover money they paid for a falsely advertised product or service.

Types of False Advertising Lawsuit Cases

Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C. can help you with any of the following false advertising lawsuit cases:

Bait-and-Switch – The product or service you receive is not the one advertised. Promised features are never provided, or the advertised “bargain deal” doesn’t actually exist.
Credit and Financing – Companies cannot advertise a rate or the availability of financing without disclosing the applicable terms and conditions. They must honor the advertised sale price.
Deceptive Guarantee or Warranty – Contract law requires certainty of terms as to what a warranty will or will not cover. A company must agree to uphold the warranty or refund they advertise.
Hidden Fees – A company advertises a low price but doesn’t mention other costs, such as equipment rental or ongoing maintenance.
Misleading Labels – Tricking consumers into feeling they are getting a deal when, in fact, there is no merit to the claim. Examples might be calling something “all natural,” even though ingredients are synthetic, or calling something “green,” even though it contains pesticides.
Poor Quality – Companies sometimes use oversized packaging, fillers, or manipulated measurements to make consumers believe they are getting good value for their money. Consumer lawsuits have found some bags of potato chips are 54% empty space, for example.

False advertising can impact any brand — no matter how longstanding, trusted, or respected. Companies like Dannon, Taco Bell, Olay, Hyundai, Groupon, Kellogg’s, and New Balance have all paid millions in false advertising claims in the past.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
