The California Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) is one of the most important consumer protection laws in the state. It was enacted to protect consumers against unfair and deceptive business practices and to provide efficient procedures to secure such protection.
The CLRA prohibits 27 specific "unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts." If a business violates the CLRA, you can sue for damages, an injunction to stop the practice, and punitive damages.
We fight for California consumers. Hyslip Legal uses the CLRA to hold corporations accountable for fraud, false advertising, and other deceptive tactics.

The CLRA Notice Letter
A unique feature of the CLRA is the "notice" requirement. Before you can sue for damages, you must usually send a certified letter to the business:
- 30 Days to Cure: The letter must describe the violation and demand that the business "correct, repair, replace, or otherwise rectify" the problem.
- Opportunity to Fix: The business has 30 days to fix the issue. If they do, you cannot sue for damages (though you may still be able to sue for an injunction).
- Failure to Fix: If they ignore the letter or refuse to fix it, we can file a lawsuit seeking full damages.
Is this happening to you?
You may be entitled to compensation of $500–$1,500 per violation.

If the business fails to correct the violation after notice, you can recover:
Actual Damages
The total amount of money you lost due to the unfair practice (minimum $1,000 in some class actions).
Punitive Damages
Additional damages awarded to punish the business for fraud, malice, or oppression.
Injunctive Relief
A court order forcing the business to stop the deceptive practice (e.g., stop running a false ad).
Attorney Fees
The CLRA mandates that the court award court costs and attorney's fees to a prevailing plaintiff.
Senior Citizen Protections
The CLRA provides enhanced penalties for unfair practices directed at senior citizens (age 65+) or disabled persons. If a business targets these vulnerable groups, they can be fined an additional $5,000 in civil penalties.
