Having been misled by unscrupulous marketers or manufacturers, a defrauded consumer may file a suit to hold the offender responsible for deceptive trade practices. It's not only individuals who can take legal action for false advertising or deceptive practices, however.
Our lawyers at Thomas Vogele & Associates, APC, have represented many California business owners and operators who have suffered when their competitors, suppliers and others attempted to undermine their entity's standing through fraud.
Deceitful proprietors engage in unfair competition when they act unlawfully in order to harm a competitor. They may make false claims in an advertisement, infringe on intellectual property or misappropriate a trade secret.
When businesses purchase supplies from manufacturers, they rely on their partners to provide goods as advertised.

Our legal team at Thomas Vogele & Associates, APC, has obtained effective remedies for our business clients in Orange County and Monterey who have struggled to address these complex issues. Our lawyers customize legal strategies based on each client's needs and situation, regarding matters such as:
We recognize that, in certain situations, pursuing justice through litigation will not provide an adequate remedy. Using the courts to resolve disputes can provide long-term solutions in time. However, if your competitor's unlawful actions are threatening your company's viability, other legal options such as seeking injunctive relief, may be the best option for you.
