SmithMarco, P.C., helps consumers in Sarasota, Florida, address legal problems that arise when financial institutions, reporting agencies or debt collectors cause harm. We represent individuals dealing with fraudulent bank transfers, credit report inaccuracies, background check errors and problematic debt collection practices. Through focused legal representation, we work to uncover what went wrong, protect our clients’ rights and pursue meaningful remedies for the problems they have experienced.

Unauthorized or fraudulent bank transfers can create immediate financial concerns. We help consumers examine what happened and determine what legal protections may apply. Credit reporting issues can be equally damaging. An inaccurate account, incorrect personal information or other reporting error may affect a person’s ability to obtain credit, housing or employment. We work with consumers facing these problems and seek appropriate remedies when reporting agencies or other responsible parties fail to correct inaccurate information.

We also represent individuals affected by errors in background checks. When an inaccurate record interferes with employment or another important opportunity, consumers may have legal rights worth pursuing. Our practice includes debt collection disputes as well. We assist people who believe collectors have used improper methods or otherwise violated the protections available to consumers.

Managing partners Larry Smith and David Marco bring more than 35 years of combined experience protecting consumers. They have represented consumers successfully in thousands of cases, building substantial knowledge of the laws and strategies involved in consumer protection disputes. Their experience informs our approach while keeping each client’s individual circumstances at the center of the matter.

Our Sarasota office gives Florida consumers access to a team focused on handling complicated consumer rights concerns with care and determination. We listen closely, assess the circumstances and explain the available legal avenues so clients can make informed decisions. We also have an office in Deerfield, Illinois, giving our firm a presence in both Florida and Illinois. When a financial or reporting problem threatens your rights or opportunities, we are prepared to stand up for you.
