Consumer Protection
Winston Cooks, LLC is committed to reforming a consumer system that is often stacked against low-income families and communities of color. We fight for the rights of these often forgotten individuals to fully participate in a fair and equitable marketplace. We do so by litigating tough cases
Areas that are of particular interest to the firm include:
- High Overdraft Fees: As of 2019 big banks continue to collect over $11 billion in overdraft-related fees each year. They accomplish this by engaging in any number of abusive practices that combine to drain massive sums from their customers’ checking accounts. The large majority of these fees are shouldered by banks’ most vulnerable customers, often driving them out of the banking system altogether. Bank overdraft fees cause particular harm to low-income consumers and communities of color, who are already disproportionately excluded from the banking mainstream.
- Student Loans: Predatory lending and other deceptive practices throughout the for-profit school industry
- Sustainable Homeownership: Predatory mortgage lending practices and the prevention of foreclosures.
No fee unless you win.
