Q: I believe I have a "Fraudulent misrepresentation" law suit. My school lied to me about a title I was suppose to receive.
I have an email from 2023 with pre-enrollment clarifications & information I wanted to get before officially making such a large educational decision. The online course said I would earn a "Master Health and Nutrition Coach" title once I completed all the said courses (6 in total) along with finishing the payments. I contacted the staff this week to clarify another issue, and it turns out that I paid $1500 and that I wasn't gonna earn any title after finishing all the CES courses . This was a total scam to me "fraudulent misrepresentation" by the school. What do I do? I feel like I am at a big loss on this one.
A: An Arizona attorney who works with education law matters could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. From a general civil litigation standpoint, it looks like it has the makings of a costly endeavor if a law firm were to charge hourly for their services. This doesn't look like a matter that most civil litigation law firms would consider handling on a contingency basis. It would involve extensive and costly discovery. And the outcome could be uncertain in terms of presenting convincing evidence to a court of intentional fraud. Those are only my general thoughts about the practical aspects of pursuing something like this. Other attorneys could see things differently. You could consult with Arizona law firms that handle such matters for their analysis of the situation. That could provide a more definitive answer to the question of what to do. Good luck
