Sana Chriss
Consumer Protection Attorney
Sana Chriss is a consumer protection attorney based in Georgia. She founded The Chriss Law Firm, LLC to give consumers access to the kind of sophisticated federal advocacy that was once available only to large institutions.
Federal Trade Commission
As a former attorney with the Federal Trade Commission — including as Attorney-Advisor to an FTC Chairman — Sana worked on enforcement actions and policy matters involving credit reporting and debt collection, among other consumer protection matters. Notably, Sana led "Operation Ruse Control," an FTC law enforcement initiative that led to over 250 actions against unlawful auto dealership sales.
National Credit Union Administration
As a former Director of Consumer Affairs at the National Credit Union Administration, Sana oversaw the agency's consumer disputes program and worked directly on matters involving credit unions, member complaints, and federal consumer financial law. Sana brings that background to her work representing consumers in private practice.
Admissions
Sana's bar admissions include the State Bar of Georgia, the District of Columbia Bar, and the Bar of the U.S. Supreme Court. Sana has practiced before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia; the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida; the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida; and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

Why I Do This Work
The FCRA, FDCPA, and Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act exist because Congress and the Georgia legislature recognized that individuals are at a fundamental disadvantage when dealing with large financial institutions, credit bureaus, and auto dealers. These statutes give consumers real, enforceable rights — including the right to have an attorney fight for them at no upfront cost. Whether you've been harmed by a credit report error, a debt collector, or a deceptive car dealer, my goal is to make sure you know those rights exist and have someone in your corner who knows how to use them.
