They sold you the claim. They took your money. New York consumer protection law lets you take it back.
Every day, New Yorkers get hit with false advertising, misleading advertising, unsubstantiated health claims, “healthy” product labeling, hidden fees, bait and switch pricing, warranty runarounds, and dark patterns in subscriptions. Most people file a complaint and eat the loss. You can sue a company in New York yourself.
New York Consumer Justice is the DIY lawsuit and consumer justice playbook for General Business Law §§ 349 and 350 — GBL 349 deceptive business practices and GBL 350 false advertising. You do not have to prove the company intended to lie. You do not have to prove reliance the way a fraud case demands. You show consumer-oriented conduct that would mislead a reasonable person and that you were injured. That is how consumer rights in New York actually work.
Christopher Prosser — a 42-year complex litigation paralegal and founder of Attorney’s Acquisitions, LLC and TeleJustice Academy, LLC — walks a pro se consumer lawsuit from the first screenshot to how to collect a judgment in New York:
• Spot claims that fail a reasonable-consumer test, including product labeling and performance hype
• Name the real defendant, not the trade name on the box
• Build a timeline, map facts to GBL 349 and GBL 350, and draft a complaint a clerk will accept
• Serve under the CPLR, send a demand letter in New York, and use discovery and subpoenas
• File a small claims New York consumer matter or a higher-court case, argue summary judgment or trial, and enforce the award
• Protect the statute of limitations on GBL 349 before the three-year clock runs
Inside: full-length educational examples (including the “Sarah M.” file), landmark false-advertising cases, and how private suits sit next to New York Attorney General consumer complaints and a class action in New York. Remedies covered include actual damages, the statutory minimums, discretionary treble damages in New York, and attorney’s fees.
If a company ripped you off in New York, the statute is already on the books. This book shows you how to use it.
Educational only. Not legal advice. Not an attorney-client relationship. Consult a licensed New York attorney before filing.
