“The information in this news release will hopefully help consumers distinguish between frivolous claims and claims with merit,” says Ostwald, a renowned consumer attorney and owner of the Law Offices of Mitchell S. Ostwald in Sacramento, California. Consumer Law tips is a series of informative news releases aimed at educating consumers and businesses about their rights and duties under the law.
