Welcome to NACA.net

The National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) is a nationwide organization of more than 1000 attorneys who represent and have represented hundreds of thousands of consumers victimized by fraudulent, abusive and predatory business practices. As an organization fully committed to promoting justice for consumers, NACA's members and their clients are actively engaged in promoting a fair and open marketplace that forcefully protects the rights of consumers, particularly those of modest means.

Today, unfortunately, the fundamental consumer protections that we have all come to depend upon are under attack. This can be seen in the watering down of federal regulations and the preemption of strong state consumer protection laws. It can be seen in the systematic attack on a consumer's right to access our nation's justice system, either cynically through "tort reform" or surreptitiously through the use of binding mandatory arbitration clauses in every conceivable consumer contract. Finally it can be seen in the ever growing presence of unscrupulous and deceptive business practices that our members and their clients bear witness to each and every day.

Together, consumers and advocates can and must work to promote an agenda that lays the groundwork for rebuilding a consumer marketplace that is based on our nation's fundamental sense of fairness, equity and honesty. To learn more about the problems faced by American consumers and how you can help and be helped, please explore our website to find an attorney and join our fight!
