Consumer law leads are in high demand due to rising enforcement of consumer protection statutes, especially around unfair business practices, debt collection, and robocall violations.
Most consumer law leads involve individuals who have experienced deceptive conduct or harassment from companies, creditors, or service providers. These cases offer attorneys opportunities for individual or class action representation.
Consumer law leads have increased in volume due to growth in TCPA and FDCPA litigation. New leads enter the market regularly as more consumers become aware of their rights under federal and state laws.
With a 112% year-over-year rise in TCPA class actions alone, firms can expect steady and growing availability of consumer law leads, particularly in areas involving robocalls, credit reporting errors, and unfair debt collection practices.
Effective intake requires confirming the consumer's legal standing, nature of the violation, dates of occurrence, and all communications with the violating party. Gathering supporting documentation early is critical.
Attorneys should ask for call logs, correspondence, billing records, and any prior complaints filed. Identifying class action potential or repeat violations can increase the value of the lead and help prioritize outreach.
