Welcome to the Consumer Rights Law Office, a Madison, Wisconsin-based law office helmed by me, Attorney Ivan Hannibal, dedicated to helping victims of predatory, unfair, and deceptive business tactics.

Some businesses and individuals will do anything to make a buck, including breaking the law. I like to hold those businesses and individuals responsible, and make them pay for their predatory, unethical, and illegal behavior.

I have represented the victims of all kinds of scams and predatory business tactics, including:

• Car dealerships and salesman who lie to make the sale
• Debt collectors who verbally harass and threaten people
• Landlords who keep tenants’ security deposits with no intention of ever returning them
• Mortgage brokers who inflate borrowers’ income to qualify them for loans they can’t afford
• Auto mechanics who make unauthorized repairs
• Finance companies that illegally repossess vehicles
• Warranty companies that refuse to honor their warranties
• Companies and salesman who misrepresent their goods and services
• Home improvement companies that don’t live up to their promises
• Telecommunication companies that charge for services not ordered
• Timeshare companies and salesman who make misrepresentations during sales pitches

If you’ve lost money or suffered any other type of loss due to corporate or individual wrongdoing, you may have a claim for money damages against those involved.

I take most cases on a contingency basis, which means that you do not pay me anything unless I successfully resolve your case—either through settlement or court-ordered judgment. Even if I cannot take your case on contingency, I still may be able to help you. Give me a call to discuss your situation, and I'll give you my honest, no-nonsense opinion at no cost to you. All initial consultations are free.

I have two blogs, the Wisconsin Consumer Law Blog, where I identify and explain some the statutes, rules, and court decisions affecting Wisconsin consumers, and the Wisconsin Consumer Protection Blog, where I expose some of the predatory, unethical, and illegal tactics some businesses and individuals use to dupe consumers out of their hard earned money.
