Firm Overview
The Law Office of Jonathan Y. Newton, LLC is a Maryland consumer law practice. We help people who have been cheated, harassed, or misled get their money back and their lives back on track.
A practice built for consumers
Our work is focused on one side of the courtroom: the consumer's. We represent Maryland residents — never the dealerships, contractors, debt collectors, or credit bureaus on the other side. That focus means every case we take builds on experience with the same statutes, the same defenses, and the same tactics consumers run into again and again.
Every matter starts with a free, confidential case evaluation. Tell us what happened, and we will tell you honestly whether the law gives you a remedy worth pursuing.
What we handle
- Auto Fraud — Maryland’s Consumer Protection Act may apply to material misrepresentations or omissions in a vehicle sale. Contract, warranty, and federal protections may also be relevant to particular facts.
- Lemon Law — Maryland Lemon Law and warranty protections have specific coverage, repair, and notice requirements. A refund or replacement is not guaranteed; the vehicle and documented repair history must be reviewed.
- Contractors — Maryland home-improvement requirements, contract law, and the Consumer Protection Act may be relevant. Licensing and potential administrative remedies depend on the project and contractor; eligibility must be assessed individually.
- Consumer Law — Maryland’s Consumer Protection Act addresses unfair or deceptive practices in covered consumer transactions. A private claim requires more than dissatisfaction: the conduct, reliance where required, and resulting loss must be assessed.
- Debt Collection — The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Maryland Consumer Debt Collection Act may govern collection conduct. Their coverage differs, and a dispute about collection behavior does not automatically erase a valid debt or court judgment.
- Credit Reporting — The Fair Credit Reporting Act addresses credit-report accuracy, permissible access, and dispute investigations. Bureau and furnisher responsibilities differ, and available claims depend on the dispute history, conduct, and resulting harm.
