As a result of prior experience and employment with Consumer Protection Division of the Oklahoma Attorney General's office, the consumer protection attorneys at Self, Morey & Associates know the ins and outs of the Oklahoma and Federal consumer protection laws.  We help businesses and individuals avoid and/or address consumer protection violations by analyzing marketing and advertisements, promotional plans, going out of business sales, product descriptions, bait-and-switch claims and “Don’t Call List” violations.
