Victory for SVO’s clients – Jury finds Contractor Liable for Fraud, Consumer Protection and Debt Collection Violations

On August 10, 2017, at the end of trial prosecuted by Jane Santoni on behalf of homeowners against a landscape/hardscape contractor, a Baltimore County jury found that Defendant Peter Ireland, Jr. of “PieScape” committed fraud, violated Maryland’s Consumer Protection Act and Maryland’s Consumer Debt Collection Act, and breached his contract. The jury awarded economic and non-economic damages along with punitive damages against Ireland.  The jury awarded almost $36,000 in damages to the couple who were victims of Defendant’s actions.
