Class Action Attorneys

Class actions are a powerful type of legal action, but they are often misunderstood. They can help streamline a large number of similar claims against a single business into one legal action, often saving time and effort for one or both sides. They also eliminate the need for individual workers and consumers to argue the same case over and over again in individual proceedings.

The true power of class action litigation is its ability to bring justice to a large group of people who have been similarly affected by the illegal or unethical practices of a company, employer, or the government, and also to bring accountability and change.
