Round Rock, Texas
12 Yrs Experience
Licensed in TX IL
Valparaiso University School of Law

My clients know me as more than just an attorney. First and foremost, my background is much broader than that. Prior to attending the Valparaiso University School of Law, I earned a Master of Business Administration and ran a small business as a certified public accountant. Thanks to this experience, I possess unique insight which in turn allows me to better assist my clients with a wide range of business and tax matters today. In total, I have over 20 years of experience in financial management, tax law, and business consulting, and I’m proud to say that I’m utilizing the knowledge I’ve gained to assist the community of Round Rock in a variety of ways. In my current practice, I provide counsel to small to medium-sized businesses, nonprofit organizations, and everyday individuals. Though my primary areas of practice are estate planning, elder law, business consulting, and tax planning, I pride myself on assisting my clients in a comprehensive manner. Whenever I take on a new client, I make an effort to get to know them on a personal level. This, of course, begins with listening. It is important that I fully understand their vision so I can help them successfully translate it into a concrete plan of action that meets their goals and expectations. I appreciate the individual attributes of each client and know firsthand that thoughtful, creative, and customized planning can maximize both financial security and personal happiness. During my time as a certified public accountant, I cultivated an invaluable skill set. After all, while my legal education has given me a deep understanding of tax law, I would not be the tax attorney I am today without my background in accounting. Due to my far-reaching experience, I am competent in unraveling even the most complex tax mysteries and disputes. My CPA training benefits my estate planning practice, too. In the process of drafting comprehensive wills and trusts, I carefully account for every asset and plan for any tax burdens that may arise, often facilitating a much smoother inheritance for the heirs of my clients. Prior to becoming certified as a CPA, I made sure to establish a solid foundation in business both in and out of the classroom, and the acumen I’ve attained has served me well. Not only am I better able to run my own practice than I otherwise would be; I am able to help other small business owners fulfill their dreams, as well.

Asked on Aug 29, 2025

Can I be held legally responsible for a fraudulent eCommerce transaction made on my website?

I recently launched an eCommerce website where users can purchase products from various sellers. However, I am concerned about the possibility of fraudulent transactions being made on the platform. While I have implemented security measures, I want to know if I can be held legally responsible in case a user makes a fraudulent purchase and the seller suffers financial loss as a result.

Randy M.

Answered Aug 31, 2025

Many people think that just running an eCommerce platform means they're not on the hook for what other people do. Turns out, it’s not that simple. You may be held legally responsible if your actions (or omissions) contributed to the fraud or failed to prevent it when a duty existed. It really comes down to how involved you are in the actual buying and selling. The more control you have over payments, product listings, prices, inventory, or customer service, the more you start looking like a real seller in the eyes of the law. And when that happens, your liability goes up fast. It’s one thing to be a neutral space for people to connect, like a digital classifieds board. But if you’re handling the money, writing product descriptions, and managing returns, courts might decide you’re not just a platform. You’re a participant. And then there’s the INFORM Consumers Act (15 U.S.C. § 45f). If your site hosts a lot of high-volume sellers (meaning 200 or more transactions a year totaling $5,000 or more), you’ve got to verify their identities. That includes bank account details, tax ID numbers, and contact info. Plus, you have to give buyers a way to report sketchy behavior. If you skip these steps, the FTC can fine you over $53,000 for each violation. That adds up fast. And if a seller ignores your request for info for more than 10 days, you’re legally required to suspend their account until they comply. Now let’s talk chargebacks. When someone uses a stolen credit card on your site, you’re usually the one who takes the hit. In most card-not-present transactions, merchant (not banks) absorb fraud-related chargebacks. That’s just the industry standard. So having a strong fraud prevention system isn’t just good business. It’s survival. Courts also look at how responsible you are with security. Are you using encryption? Are your payment processors secure? Do you have systems that flag weird activity? If you don’t, and someone gets hurt, you could be on the hook for negligence. Intent isn’t required for negligence, but it is for fraud. Courts will look at reasonableness, not intent. If a buyer or seller loses money on your site because you ignored obvious warning signs, they might come after you. And don’t assume Section 230 (47 U.S.C. § 230) will protect you. That law gives platforms some cover when they’re hosting third-party content, but it doesn’t apply across the board. It won’t shield you from your own conduct, criminal liability, IP violations, or anything involving data privacy. And if you’re too involved in the sales process, that protection can disappear altogether. Then there's PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance. If you’re processing credit cards directly, you’re expected to meet a long list of security standards. That includes how you store payment data, how you secure your systems, and how often you monitor them. The more volume you do, the higher the expectations. And if you don’t meet them, the consequences can be serious. So what’s the smarter route? Use a third-party payment processor like Stripe or PayPal. They take care of PCI compliance and usually absorb the chargeback risk. You should also set up your business as an LLC or corporation to limit personal exposure. Your terms of service should clearly explain your platform’s responsibilities, disclaim liability for seller fraud, and outline a dispute process. Make sure you properly vet sellers (especially the high-volume ones) and use fraud detection tools from day one. Also, make it easy for users to report suspicious activity, and act quickly when they do. The faster you respond, the less likely it is that someone will accuse you of doing nothing. Keep in mind that laws vary from state to state, and they get even more complicated when you’re dealing with international buyers or sellers. You might be fully compliant under federal law and still run into issues under state or foreign regulations. As your platform grows, your legal obligations grow right alongside it. Bottom line? You can reduce your risk, but you can’t erase it. The best thing you can do is build smart systems, stay compliant, and get legal guidance early. Talk to an attorney who understands eCommerce before you launch. That consultation will cost you a lot less than fixing a legal mess later.
