Identity theft lawyers in Brooklyn, NY

Welcome to Consumer Attorneys, where identity theft meets its match. As a resident of New York, you may be aware that New York’s Identity Theft Act protects consumers, allowing them to recover damages, penalties, and attorneys’ fees. If you are an identity theft victim, you want three things: 1) a lawyer near you; 2) a lawyer who specializes in identity theft; and 3) a legal team that offers immediate assistance.

Identity theft is rampant in New York and other states through a variety of means including robbery, phishing, computer fraud, social media, mail theft, and even dumpster diving. And it’s not just adults — children can also fall victim when their Social Security numbers are stolen and used for illegal financial activities. Believe it or not, many credit and loan companies don’t check the ages of the owners of Social Security numbers.

You want justice; so do we

If personal information such as your Social Security number ends up the wrong hands, a slew of negative consequences can ensue: The thieves can open new credit cards and establish lines of credit, potential employers can deny you job positions and promotions, and, as if that weren’t bad enough, IRS tax bills could come your way, all due to fraudulent activity you can’t control.

Identity theft in New York takes many shapes

There are many ways New York residents can become identity theft victims. Here are just a few:

• Government identity theft: Thieves use your Social Security number, passport, or driver’s license to apply for government benefits locally or nationally for unemployment, disability, food stamps, etc.
• Scam identity theft: You receive an email, call, text, or social media request regarding goods, services, or promises you believe are legitimate but aren’t, and you end up providing your personal information. Call our legal team now.
• Financial identity theft: Someone takes over your bank account or sets up a new account in your name without your permission. Time is of the essence; we’re here to take your call.
• Data breach identity theft: You receive notification that your personal information was exposed in a data breach or other security incident. Our identity theft lawyers are here to help.
• Medical identity theft: Your medical provider or insurance company notifies you that someone other than you was using your medical services. This could involve a variety of health care services including getting prescriptions filled. This type of theft could prevent you from 1) being authorized for critical medications; 2) submitting claims; 3) receiving medical care, and more.
• Criminal identity theft: You receive a court summons or a visit from law enforcement with a warrant for your arrest, even though you did nothing wrong. Thieves can provide authorities with stolen personal information during investigations or traffic violations; if the imposter doesn’t appear in court as ordered, an arrest warrant could ensue for the innocent person who belongs to the stolen information. It’s time to take legal action — give us a call!
• Mortgage identity theft: Your home’s title is suddenly in someone’s name, and that name isn’t yours. A criminal steals your identity via phishing scams or stolen tax returns or bank records and forges your deed or title documents in an attempt to sell your home or borrow against it.

 This list is a small sampling of how identity thieves can obtain and utilize your personal information. The good news is, New York residents can take advantage of our identity theft protection plans which offer something money can’t buy: peace of mind.

With our legal protection plans, you don’t react, you prevent
