Built for the person
getting the calls.
Consumer Protection Law is a California practice with one focus: defending consumers against debt collectors, debt buyer lawsuits, garnishment, and debts that were never theirs.
The system works when both sides show up.
Debt collection lawsuits are built on a simple bet: that you will not respond. Most people do not — not because they have no defense, but because the papers are confusing, the deadline is short, and fear does the collector's work for it. Courts enter judgment after judgment against people who never got the chance to tell their side.
We exist to change that math for our clients. Federal law and California law give consumers real rights — the right to make a collector prove a debt, the right to be free of harassment, the right to protect the money you live on. Rights only matter when someone uses them. That is the job.
Your lawyer, directly.
Consumer Protection Law is led by David Itkin, an attorney admitted to the State Bar of California. His practice spans consumer debt defense and civil litigation in California courts — which means the person reading your summons has answered them, argued them, and knows what the other side has to prove.

Bring us the papers. Leave with a plan.
