Lucius "Luke" James Wallace
Trial Lawyers and Consumer Advocates
A Personal Experience That Defined My Career
While attending law school, I responded to an advertisement for a new car. The subsequent experience was eye-opening. The dealership employed numerous deceptive tactics to divert my attention from the advertised model, a classic bait-and-switch scenario I had only read about before experiencing it firsthand. I drove off with the car, but also with a newfound resolve: I was determined to advocate for individuals against car dealers, banks, mortgage servicers, and other businesses that misuse their power. This incident ignited my lifelong commitment to pursuing legal action against businesses engaged in dishonest practices.

I represent clients in both state and federal courts throughout the United States, with a focus on:
• Car dealer fraud

- Q. Can I update my negative review after receiving a cease and desist letter?
- A: Just tell the truth and be fair about your actual experience with this business. Yes, you can include their response and your follow up. Remember to stick to the facts and don't offer your opinions. Keep your proof of what transpired.
While the Consumer Review Fairness Act (CRFA) does offer protections, it does not permit you to bring your own lawsuit against the business--meaning there is no private right of action for you the consumer. Only the Federal Trade Commission and our Oklahoma Attorney General can bring an action to enforce it. You might consider filing a complaint with AG Drummond's office and provide all documentation. Be sure you mention the CRFA in your submissions. ... Read More
