As Consumer Cases Grow, Legal Services Work to Keep Up

Leaders of nonprofit law firms in Florida, Massachusetts and Michigan discuss the rise in consumer legal issues on Talk Justice. The Legal Services Corporation has seen that the number of consumer legal cases are growing across the 129 legal services organizations that it funds nationally. From 2024 to 2025, the volume of consumer and finance cases increased by nearly 14%.  Attorneys at these organizations are helping clients fight fraud, challenge predatory lending or unfair debt collection, and navigate bankruptcy and other financial disputes.
