Some of the issues that could arise here are constitutionality,... View More

This is definitely a breach of contract case. You may even be entitled to triple damages if your lawyer can prove consumer fraud which may allow you to get back the payment you will need to make to hire a good lawyer. Setup an in office consultation with a good lawyer of your choice.
