I need some advice. I have been scammed by a company in FL. How do I find a Lawyer? What type of Lawyer?

It's a company that sells prepaid vacations at resorts. This past Oct, we tried to use one of our vacations and were denied. The hotel had vacancies, its just that they wanted us to sign addtl' documents that appeared to be ';signing up'; again--I refused--so they would not take my reservation. They have my money, yet won't provide the service. Their rating is an ';F'; on the BBB--found out too late!! I have all the documentation I need, i.e, emails, signed contract, receipts, etc. Any ideas on finding a Lawyer to help? Thank you to anyone who can help.I need some advice.

You will need to file a law suit in the state where the company is based. I suggest you confine yourself to that.

This will be a civil suit in business law; specifically in contract law (which is the basis for most business law).





You should start with the BBB (http://us.bbb.org/WWWRoot/SitePage.aspx?鈥?/a> and ask them what to do next.

Conduct a search to find out what company it is, where it is based and see if you can join into any class action suits against it. You will have a better chance of getting paid if you join forces and you can afford a better lawyer if you join forces with other people. You could also possibly find someone who lives in the state and can file suit there.





The previous answers have good points. Contact the Attorneys General of the State involved and find out if they have any pending law suits that you can join, or at least refer your own lawyer to.





If you bought it/paid for it by credit card then you should have insurance and the credit card should try to use their own lawyers to get your money back. If you paid for it on your own then it will be your responsibility.I need some advice. I have been scammed by a company in FL. How do I find a Lawyer? What type of Lawyer?
try complaining to your local attorneys general office, and I saw a news show about that very same thing, but I can't remember any of the facts, sorry
How did you pay for the vacation? if it was by credit card you credit card company can refund you as long as you show them proof or call you bank if you paid by check get the information that you can from them b/c when your check was cashed their is a routing number on the deposit so you can get more information of where it went. You need to look on the internet see if there are any mass suites going on against this company unfortunately unless you spend a good amount of money hiring a lawyer to get your money back will be a waste of money also if the company filed for bankruptcy your stuck with it. The type of lawyer would depend on the amount of money they kept you do have the option of taking them to small claims court because I'm guessing this wasn't for over a thousand dollars. Make sure for court you take all your documents and you can prove that you tried to contact them multiple times and have a record of recipt.
