Consumer Class Actions

Our team of experienced consumer rights attorneys has substantial experience advocating for thousands of consumers who have been harmed by unlawful business practices. The class action mechanism can give consumers who could not otherwise afford to hold powerful corporations for their unlawful conduct the resources they need to ensure fair treatment and compensation for the wrongdoing. Our firm has taken on some of the largest and most powerful companies in California and successfully resolved those matters on behalf of our consumer clients and the millions in the classes they represent. Below is a representative sample of successful consumer class action matters the firm has litigated:

• Checking Account Overdraft Class Action: $410,000,000 settlement

• TikTok, Inc. Consumer Privacy Class Action $92,000,000 settlement

• Honest, Inc. Deceptive Marketing Class Action: $7,350,000 settlement

• Privacy Class Action Against Leading Technology Companies: $5,300,000 settlement

What is a consumer protection class action?

A consumer protection class action allows a group of individuals who have suffered similar harm to collectively seek justice against a common defendant. These cases typically involve large corporations or entities that have violated consumer rights, such as engaging in false advertising, unfair business practices, or privacy violations. Consumer class actions empower consumers to pool their resources and increase their chances of obtaining favorable outcomes.

Practice Areas

Our consumer protection class action practice focuses on the following types of illegal conduct:   
1. False Advertising: If you have been misled by deceptive marketing practices or false claims made by businesses, we can help you and others similarly situated seek classwide compensation for your losses.
2. Unfair Business Practices: From unfair billing practices to unauthorized overdraft fees, we are well-versed in representing consumers who have been subjected to unfair, illegal, or fraudulent business practices.
3. Privacy Violations: If your personal information has been disclosed without your permission, leaked, or mishandled by businesses, our attorneys will work tirelessly to protect your rights.
