Offering Innovative Legal Solutions to Help Victims of Corporate Fraud and Unfair Business Practices Seek Justice and Recovery.
Jonathan Sahrbeck, a Cumberland County native, has dedicated his career to protecting people against crime and dishonesty. He served as an Assistant District Attorney in Massachusetts before returning to Maine, where he was elected District Attorney for Cumberland County in 2018. As DA, he focused on combatting the opioid epidemic and substance use disorder, as well as preventing domestic violence, elder and child abuse, and human trafficking.
Since leaving public service, Sahrbeck opened Sahrbeck P.C., specializing in representing consumers against fraud and unfair business practices. He is also active in his community, serving on several boards focused on mental health, substance abuse recovery, and education. Sahrbeck’s commitment to improving the lives of others is evident in both his professional and personal endeavors.
In the words of the Maine Attorney General, “The Maine Implied Warranty is the little known law that protects Maine consumers from being sold seriously defective items. It can be an Unfair Trade Practice to refuse to honor the Maine Implied Warranty Law within four years of sale.
The basic test for possible violations of the implied warranty includes:
The meaning of this is that when you buy an item, it is supposed to last for four years. For example, if you buy a refrigerator, it is supposed to function as a refrigerator for four years, regardless of any manufacturer warranty or extended warranty that you purchase.
Did you buy an added “protection plan” when you purchased an item? Did you know that this may have been unnecessary due to Maine’s Implied Warranty Statute? If you bought one of these, I’d like to hear from you.
As an attorney interested in consumer protection, I am interested in cases where items or services purchased by a Maine resident fail within four years of purchase through no fault of the buyer. However, there are some caveats to this work:
If you have an item or service that meets these criteria, the remedy is to contact the seller or manufacturer and request that they honor the Maine Implied Warranty law within 30 days of receiving your request. If they refuse or do not respond, legal options may be explored, including bringing a lawsuit to seek restitution. It is important to note, however, that there are no guarantees of a successful outcome.
