The Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act (OCSPA) is a powerful tool for fighting back against dishonest businesses. It prohibits "unfair, deceptive, and unconscionable" acts in consumer transactions.
Whether you bought a lemon car, hired a bad contractor, or were scammed by a store, the OCSPA protects you. Crucially, it allows for "treble damages" (3x your loss) in many cases, plus non-economic damages for stress and frustration.
We know Ohio law. Hyslip Legal uses the OCSPA to force businesses to play fair or pay the price. And because the law requires them to pay our fees, you don't pay us out of pocket.

What is 'Unconscionable'?
The OCSPA goes beyond just fraud. It also bans "unconscionable" acts, which means taking advantage of a consumer. This includes:
- Knowledge: Knowing the consumer couldn't pay for the service but selling it anyway.
- One-Sided Deals: Entering into a transaction that is excessively one-sided in favor of the business.
- Misleading Opinions: Giving a misleading opinion on which the consumer is likely to rely.
Is this happening to you?
You may be entitled to compensation of $500–$1,500 per violation.

If a supplier violates the OCSPA, you have two main options:
Rescind the Deal
You can cancel the transaction and get a full refund. This must be done within a reasonable time.
Sue for Damages
You can sue for your actual economic loss. If the act was declared deceptive by rule or court decision, you can get triple damages (3x) or $200, whichever is greater.
Non-Economic Damages
Compensation for frustration, annoyance, and distress caused by the business (up to $5,000).
Attorney Fees
If the supplier knowingly violated the act, the court can order them to pay your legal fees.
