Florida Consumer Law Center prides itself with
the experience of our Team – over 50 years.
We invite you to meet our Team of Professionals
Charles W. Cadrecha, Esq.
The Florida Consumer Law Center was formed by attorney
Charles W. Cadrecha, Esq. Born and raised in Tampa as a 4th
generation; Mr. Cadrecha attended Jesuit High School and
completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Florida.
Knowing he would return home, he attended Stetson University
College of Law in St. Petersburg to be close to his friends and
family. Mr. Cadrecha then spent his first five years out of law
school as a collection attorney witnessing firsthand the abuses
and harassment the collection industry was perpetrating against
individuals. Not happy with being a part of what he was seeing,
he left and vowed to never represent a collection company again.
He formed the Florida Consumer Law Center for the purpose of
advocating the rights of consumers and bringing those who are
using unfair and unlawful tactics against consumers to justice.
Charles W. Cadrecha, Esq., as a lifelong and 4th generation
resident of Tampa Florida, has dedicated his law practice to
helping the citizens of our state defend their rights for themselves
and their families. He also volunteers in his home town with the
Hands on Tampa Bay volunteer organization. His dedication and
passion to represent our clients is a testament to the principle on
which, the Florida Consumer Law Center was established
