Richard Newman Quoted by New York Post on NYC Consumer Protection Law

In the article. Mr. Newman states that “[g]enerally speaking, failing to provide the quality of services advertised and using predatory practices can violate New York City’s consumer protection laws.” Mr. Newman also states that “paying consumers to change or remove truthful negative reviews may violate the Federal Trade Commission Act as an unfair or deceptive act or practice because it may wind up distorting or otherwise misrepresenting what consumers think about a business or its products.”
