Thank you to the Practising Law Institute (PLI) for the opportunity to serve as a speaker for Representing the Pro Bono Client: Consumer Law Basics 2026.

I was honored to present on Auto Fraud and to share practical insights with attorneys committed to protecting consumers and expanding access to justice.

Auto fraud can have serious financial and legal consequences for consumers, and knowledgeable advocacy can make a meaningful difference. I’m grateful to PLI for providing a platform to educate and equip attorneys who are stepping up to represent consumers in need.

It was a privilege to be part of this outstanding program and to contribute to the continuing education of the consumer-law and pro bono communities.

. Today I had the pleasure of presenting on the joys of arbitration to the Florida Creditors Bar Association.

As a consumer attorney speaking to a room full of creditors’ lawyers, it felt a bit like volunteering to walk into the lion’s den armed with a PowerPoint.

Thankfully, everyone was gracious, engaged, and remarkably restrained. We had a great discussion about arbitration, strategy, and the issues each side faces in the process.

Thank you to the Florida Creditors Bar Association for the invitation, the warm welcome, and for allowing me to leave with all limbs intact.

Next up: Representing the Pro Bono Client: Consumer Law Basics 2026 - Fri, 8/7- 9:00 am PT in San Francisco, CA. ✌️

Josh Feygin, a South Florida attorney whose practice includes representing consumers in disputes with automobile dealerships, says the law no longer reflects today’s marketplace.

“It’s definitely outdated at this point,” Feygin said. “When the average cost of a vehicle is much more than $25,000, it doesn’t make sense that there’s only a $25,000 pot to go after.”

Asked whether the current bond adequately protects consumers, Feygin offered a blunt assessment.

“No. More often than not, absolutely not,” he said.

Feygin said he has represented numerous consumers who obtained judgments against dealerships only to discover there was little or no money remaining in the dealer’s bond.

“I’ve had many times where clients have gotten judgments against car dealerships and went to apply against the bond, and there’s no more funds left in the bond,” Feygin said. “So yes, it happens quite often.”

A South Florida woman’s title nightmare and a lawsuit involving 11 consumers competing for the same $25,000 dealer bond are raising questions about whether Florida’s consumer protection law has kept pace with the cost of buying a car.

At least two states have warned dealerships that omitting documentation fees from advertised vehicle prices could violate Federal Trade Commission rules, including one whose code allows retailers to list those charges separately.

Louisiana instructed its dealerships to disregard its laxer document fee advertising rules and to adopt the stricter transparency the FTC has demanded. The state has about 350 franchised dealerships.

“The FTC has made clear that conflicting state laws are not a defense in enforcement actions,” Amy Casey, executive director of the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission, wrote in a May 26 bulletin to dealers. She said her agency, which oversees franchised dealers in the state, would launch rulemaking to bring state code in line with the FTC’s position.

Meanwhile in Florida, most of the dealerships investigated by the State for identical practices walked away relatively unscathed.

Thousands of New Yorkers who thought they had locked in their lease buyout price discovered that "agreed upon" is dealer-speak for "a starting point for further creativity." One dealership charged over $2000 for $0.08 worth of electrical tape.

The state attorney general has since recovered millions in refunds, marking a rare occasion where the guy in the finance office did not, in fact, win.

⚖️ That's a wrap!

Big thanks to everyone who joined us at The Florida Bar Convention for "Stop the Seizure: Navigating UCC Repossessions and Protecting Consumer Rights."

Attorney Joshua Feygin of Sue Your Dealer Law Firm had a great time breaking down Article 9 of the UCC, repossession notice requirements, deficiency claims, and the strategies that protect consumers when creditors overreach — alongside the sharp Attorney Robert W. Murphy.

Grateful to share the stage with such a knowledgeable group, and to everyone in the room who came ready to fight for consumer rights. 👊

🎙️ Big day at Sue Your Dealer!

Attorney Joshua Feygin sat down with Channel 10 today to talk about something every Florida car buyer should understand: the Florida Motor Vehicle Dealer Surety Bond.

If you've been the victim of dealer fraud, the surety bond is supposed to be one of your safety nets. But as Josh explained on air, the current bond requirements have real limitations. When a dealer commits fraud against multiple consumers, that single bond often falls far short of making everyone whole. Too many Florida buyers are left holding the bag.

Josh also discussed proposed changes that would strengthen these protections and give Florida consumers a fairer shot at real recovery when a dealer cheats them.

Fighting for car buyers is what we do. If you've been lied to, sold a lemon, hit with a rolled-back odometer, or stuck with undisclosed damage, you don't have to take it.

📞 Know your rights. Know your remedies.

👉 Watch for the Channel 10 segment and stay tuned.

Did a Florida car dealership charge you fees that weren't properly disclosed?

The FTC made headlines this month warning 97 dealer groups about deceptive pricing practices. What the headlines left out: Florida consumers have had the right to sue dealers for this exact conduct for years — and recover their attorney's fees when they win.

We break down what the FTC action actually means, how Florida's § 501.976 works, and what to look for in your own paperwork.
