The firm derives its strength from a team of certified and experienced lawyers according to a recent news release

Their legal team boasts more than 40 years of combined legal experience. Plaintiffs that we're previously harmed have benefited from the legal support in cases involving abusive debt collection practices, unequal treatment in the workplace, and other legal matters.

The business assists clients across the country with primary offices in Florida and Washington, D.C. The Legal Justice Advocates legal professionals are familiar with various aspects of both state and federal laws allowing plaintiffs to work through their case with a knowledgeable attorney. This knowledge makes it easier to defend the rights of clients in different parts of the country. 

Legal Justice Advocates handles cases in various practice areas, including:

- Debt collections

- Discrimination in the workplace

- Consumer protection services

- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) claims

- Disability discrimination cases

Discrimination in the workplace

No employee should face discrimination when it comes to compensation, hiring, and promotion opportunities. Workers can seek legal assistance if they face unequal treatment based on personal characteristics or their decision to complain about working conditions. 

Legal professionals can lodge compensation claims for the stress and missed opportunities due to discriminatory practices in the workplace. Federal laws prohibit discriminatory conduct based on an employee's race, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, religion, or age. 

Consumer Protection

The LJ Advocacy team vigorously defends the rights of consumers faced with a wide variety of challenges, including aggressive debt collection practices and personal injury caused by defective products. The service makes it easier to initiate legal recourse against unscrupulous creditors, businesses, and scammers.

Legal assistance provided by the firm protects the rights of clients based on various laws, including the Fair Credit Billing Act, Truth in Lending Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Clients can count on the practice to deal with matters involving abusive debt collection tactics. 

The law requires that all creditors should provide adequate information regarding the terms of any loan. The creditor should clearly state (in print) the total loan amount, the applicable interest rate, and the number of installments. 

Attorneys at Legal Justice Advocates can litigate on behalf of clients if a creditor applies a variable-rate to a loan whose terms and conditions indicate a fixed rate. The law also prohibits charging higher interest rates via affiliates for kickbacks.

The firm helps individuals in healthcare matters relating to compromised confidentiality. The laws entitle all patients to privacy regarding their medical history. Clients can pursue legal action if medical professionals or organizations violate their rights to privacy. 

On the other hand, Legal Justice Advocates makes it easier to pursue a legal claim if a defective product causes illness or serious bodily injuries. 

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The law firm provides local counsel services to clients looking to ensure equal access to specific public spaces for disabled persons. The Americans with Disabilities Act provides the legal framework for ensuring compliance by businesses that provide access to premises for recreation, retail, education, medical, and other functions. 

Legal professionals help enforce the law since no government agency has this mandate. Disabled persons should have equal access to information and public accommodations. 

Clients can rely on the Washington, DC and Florida legal services to ensure individuals with different types of disabilities and impairments enjoy unlimited access to public spaces. 

Some of the impairments covered by the law include vision, hearing, mobility, and learning disabilities. Legal Justice Advocates also handles issues relating to the accessibility of web content. The best practices for ensuring equal access to content posted online help satisfy the needs of individuals with various disabilities and impairments.

ADA covers people with hearing problems, which compromise their ability to perform essential daily activities. Meanwhile, vision impairments undermine an individual's ability to read materials or see small objects. 

The law firm helps clients defend their rights in matters concerning equal access to retail establishments, transportation terminals, eateries, medical facilities, recreational centers, places of education, and other public spaces. 

Disability discrimination

Legal Justice Advocates also protects the rights of disabled persons faced with discriminatory practices in the workplace. The firm assisted thousands of clients, including Victims Awareness, Inc., a platform that provides support to victims of discrimination or the negligent actions of others.

The practice leverages its extensive knowledge of federal and state laws to provide professional legal assistance to disabled individuals affected by discrimination. The firm is growing amongst recent news announcements as they strive to make a strong push to protect individuals rights. 

Discriminating against disabled employees undermines their ability to take advantage of career and financial opportunities available to able-bodied workers. This form of unequal treatment can cause psychological trauma. Fortunately, legal professionals can provide local counsel and help pursue legal action based on the applicable laws. 

Equal treatment applies to various aspects of formal employment, including the provision of reasonable accommodation, fair hiring practices, equal promotion opportunities, privacy, and fair compensation.

For this reason, Legal Justice Advocates represents clients paid less than other employees based on their disability. It also litigates in cases involving unequal promotion or hiring practices. Individuals can count on the firm to offer support when employees fail to provide adequate medical and other benefits to disabled workers.

Debt collections harassment

The law protects the rights of debtors even when they fall behind on loan repayments. Debt collection agents cannot employ abusive or manipulative practices when collecting on behalf of creditors. Fortunately, Legal Justice Advocates handles cases involving harassment by lenders or debt collection agents. 

Attorneys provide legal guidance based on the regulatory framework of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The law prohibits different types of unprofessional conduct, such as making false statements, employing unfair practices, verbal or physical harassment, and deception. 

As such, lenders and debt collectors should not misrepresent the facts regarding outstanding debt. Any lender or collections agent who falsely claims to work for government agencies or law firms will be breaking the law. Likewise, debtors cannot be threatened with arrest or violence.

Unfair debt collection practices handled by attorneys at Legal Justice Advocates charging debtors unlawful fees or interest. Agents cannot seize the debtor's assets without following the steps stipulated by the law. 

Lawyers can initiate legal action to seek compensation for emotional distress, physical harm, lost wages, or attorneys' fees. Additionally, legal professionals can apply for a court order barring debt collector from using mail or phone to abuse the debtor. 

Expert Legal team

Attorneys at Legal Justice Advocates are members of regulatory bodies, such as the Florida Bar, the Delaware State Bar Association, and the DC Bar. They can represent clients in the United States Bankruptcy Courts and District Courts in many states and recently brought on Jerome Ramsaran as their newest attorney.
