Another variation of consumer fraud where mail and wire fraud statutes can come into play is referred to as a chain referral scheme, where the price advertised is based upon the completion of several successful referrals to be completed by the purchaser after buying. Often the difficulty here is that no misrepresentation was ever made, but instead the purchaser simply failed to read the fine print or understand what they were signing up for. Such schemes are often held to be generally inherently fraudulent, although arguably better remedied with a civil claim.

These recoveries and testimonials are not an indication of future results. Every case is different, and regardless of what friends, family, or other individuals may say about what a case is worth, each case must be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances as they apply to the law. The valuation of a case depends on the facts, the injuries, the jurisdiction, the venue, the witnesses, the parties, and the testimony, among other factors. Furthermore, no representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
