For 15 years, the firm has represented consumers nationwide in class action cases targeting a wide variety of industry practices. Cases against lending institutions and finance companies challenging the practice of “force-placing” collateral protection insurance resulted in the recovery of approximately $150 million for consumers and injunctions prohibiting many of the practices complained of in the lawsuits.

The firm’s cases have also challenged practices involving the administration of trusts and estates, toxic refinery emissions, false nutritional labeling, investor fraud, life insurance, telecommunications, billing for health care and credit card abuses. Partners at the firm also have expertise in areas of Federal and State law that greatly affect consumers such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act and Business and Professions Code sections 17200 and 17500.

The firm is committed to vigorous, ethical and professional representation of consumers. Members of the firm belong to and participate in numerous California and national organizations dedicated to the furtherance of consumer justice.
