Consumer Class Actions
Consumer Class Actions
In handling cases involving consumer fraud, our overriding philosophy is that Corporate America should not be allowed to steal a little money from a lot of people. In total, such fraud often ultimately involves tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. This is particularly true in our modern homogenized society. Consumers no longer know the merchants present in their life, and thus informal resolution is not possible. Instead, to address a wrong, it is now often necessary to spend hours on the phone attempting to speak with customer service.
A class action, handled by experienced class counsel evens the playing field and not only recovers ill-gotten gains but serves to encourage responsible corporate behavior.

TYPES OF CONSUMER CLASS ACTIONS
Undisclosed Fees
Corporate defendants often include numerous fees that were not disclosed at the time of purchase. These fees include: Processing fees, Subscription fees, Deceptive Sales Fees and Signup Fees.
These Fees are illegal and should not be tolerated.
Data Breach
Data breach occurs when hackers obtain your personal information from a third party. This information can include social security numbers, driver's license numbers, banking and other financial information.
In addition to compensation, litigation of these cases also seeks credit monitoring intended to ensure that the hackers are not utilizing your personal information.
Ingredient Mislabeling and False Advertising
Consumers are willing to pay more for certain ingredients, or representations regarding Made in the USA or that the product is environmentally friendly. When these representations turn out to be false there is a compensable injury.
Other common consumer violations include automated renewal, advertising an item as being on sale when it is actually sold at its standard usual price (false discounts) and overcharges that resulted from illegal tariffs.
Privacy Violations
These occur when an entity invades your privacy by disclosing your data and/or use of the internet to third parties. Your privacy is statutorily protected and thus, an invasion is compensable.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
Robocalls, robofaxes and robotexts are illegal and are typically sent en masse to the public. Class action litigation is the ideal vehicle to pursue these types of claims.
