If you and a group of people have been harmed for the same reason by the same entity, a class action lawyer can help.

What a Class Action lawyer can do for You

If you are disputing a defective product or unfair actions by a company, a class action attorney will advise you on whether you will want to file a class action or an individual lawsuit. To best move your case forward, your attorney will know the right strategies to prove what happened. Class action lawyers are paid on contingency, which means they receive a percentage of the payout if you win the lawsuit.

Class action lawyers handle a broad range of disputes including defective products, employment-related violations, or other events that harm a group or “class” of people.

Federal class action lawsuits involving securities, labor and employment, and consumer rights together make up more than 70% of all class action cases.

Complex Trial Experience in Class Action Lawsuits

Our civil litigation practice extends beyond the resolution of disputes between our client and one or several opponents. We also litigate on behalf of consumers, employees, small businesses or any other identifiable group whose legal claims have enough in common to support a motion for certification as a class. This tactic allows claimants to achieve justice in situations where individual lawsuits can’t be economically justified, but where common legal and factual issues can justify handling the case on behalf of a large group in a single case under state or federal class action rules.

Thousands of People Might Have Claims Just Like Yours

If you suspect that you’re not the only one with particular grounds for legal action, contact us to learn about your litigation options for either a freestanding lawsuit or a class action. Our law firm has the depth and range of experience necessary to identify opportunities for class certification and to manage the complex logistics of class action litigation.

Examples of the kinds of cases that might be suitable for class certification include:

• Employee wage and benefit claims
• Age, race or sex discrimination claims
• Consumer fraud claims
• Securities fraud and investor claims
• Antitrust or unfair competition claims concerning price-fixing, tie-in arrangements or raw materials supplies
• Intellectual property claims
• Advertising claims

What Is Class Action Litigation?

A class action lawsuit is a type of litigation in which a large number of parties who have suffered a similar injury join to pursue results collectively. It is frequently used in cases involving alleged wage and hour law violations, defective products, consumer fraud, and other types of civil litigation. Usually, the parties certified as a class are plaintiffs, though defendant class action suits are possible. Class action suits can be pursued in federal and state courts. To proceed at the federal level, a court must first certify a suit as a class action, after being satisfied that it complies with the requirements set out in Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

What Are The Benefits of Class Action Litigation?

Resolving a dispute through class action litigation provides benefits to both the plaintiff(s) and defendant(s):

• Increased judicial efficiency — Rather than hearing multiple suits involving multiple claims, a class action suit joins many claims into one.
• Reduced cost of litigation — In a class action suit, the costs of discovery, fact-finding, and litigation are spread out and borne by many litigants.
• Small recoveries for each claimant are possible — When the loss to an individual party is small, but in the aggregate the loss is large, a class action suit may permit recovery for all members of the class.
• Fairness for late-filing claimants — A class action suit prevents early-filing plaintiffs from “raiding” the limited funds that may be available for compensation.

Why Do I Need A Class Action Lawsuit Attorney?

Without the help of an experienced attorney, your ability to take on a major corporation seems unlikely if not impossible. Class action lawsuits are one of the only ways to get a corporation’s attention and to hold them accountable if you have been injured as a result of their actions. Only experienced class action lawsuit attorneys should handle your case. This gives you the confidence that someone knowledgeable is handling the situation, but it also gives you peace of mind that someone is looking out for your best interests. Class action lawsuits give voices to victims that might otherwise be silenced.
