Consumer Fraud Litigation

The attorneys at Drubner & Hartley, LLC help businesses and individuals who have been victimized by unfair or deceptive business tactics. These tactics include false advertising or representation, prime bank note frauds, ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, mortgage fraud, telemarketing fraud, advance fee schemes, letter of credit schemes as well as bait and switch scams.

Drubner & Hartley, for example, was among a number of class action law firms that successfully represented policyholders in a case alleging that Prudential Life Insurance used certain deceptive tactics, such as churning, to sell insurance policies to elderly policyholders. Churning is an illegal practice in which agents increase their commission by encouraging customers to use built-up cash value in their whole life insurance policies to purchase new policies. Customers are misled into losing their cash value and any other benefits they accumulate. By joining with the other class action law firms to challenge these practices, Drubner & Hartley was able to help its clients achieve a $2.5 billion settlement on behalf of those who allegedly had been deceived.
