Background
TheConsumerLawyer.co.uk is the UK’s leading consumer law advice site, providing advice, guides and template letters, on many legal subjects that affect consumers. It is commonly referred to as the “go to site for consumer law issues” and is used as an authoritative source of information by consumer affairs journalists and the wider media.
The site was founded by multi-award-winning consumer lawyer Dean Dunham, who is widely considered to be one of the leading authorities on consumer law and is a passionate consumer rights campaigner. Dean is also a regular commentator in the media, writing a consumer law column in the Express every Thursday and the Sunday People every week. In addition, presents the Consumer Hour on LBC radio every Friday (9-10pm).
As well as providing guides in relation to popular consumer law matters, we also write advice blogs and guides on topical and specific issues affecting large numbers of consumers. To this end, the site has helped tens of thousands of people to obtain refunds and compensation for a wide array of consumer matters and continues to do so.

Those that write for the site are all ‘leaders in their field’ and ‘true experts’, measured either by their qualifications or significant reputations.
