In this week’s DA News, San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan highlights the important work of the Consumer Protection Unit — the highly skilled team dedicated to safeguarding our community from fraud, deceptive business practices, and financial exploitation. The Consumer Protection Division is made up of experienced prosecutors, investigators, forensic accountants, and professional staff who specialize in complex civil and criminal enforcement actions. These experts handle cases involving unfair competition, false advertising, environmental violations, price gouging, scams targeting seniors, and large-scale corporate misconduct.
