In order to protect all consumers regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, the government has in place a set of agencies and a group of regulations to protect all consumers’ financial resources. This one-hour webinar – the first in our multi-week Summer Speaker’s Series – will examine consumer rights, responsibilities, remedies, and the importance of consumer vigilance, and will provide teaching resources to assist in teaching these concepts to middle and high school students.
We will be joined by attorney Emily Connor Kennedy, a shareholder at Boleman Law Firm and a part of the firm’s consumer litigation team. Her focuses include helping clients who are facing consumer rights issues such as credit report inaccuracies and abuses from mortgage servicers and banks.
Fee: NO CHARGE
Additional Information:
The 2021 Summer Speaker's Series is made possible by the generous support of our workshop sponsors and through the gracious volunteers from the Financial Planning Association of Central Virginia.
