Our Experience Makes a Difference
A lawsuit involving a significant number of plaintiffs with the same grievances requires certification as a class action before it can proceed forward towards trial. Compensation and damages awarded in a class action suit can be quite substantial. The court determines whether the case is proper to be certified. We fight hard to obtain class certification so that the strength of many claims, joined together, for the optimum result.
This is where we truly stand out. We will take your class action case through the certification process and trial if necessary. When the defendant corporations know that they face lawyers who can, and do, stand up to them, they are more inclined to come to the negotiating table with a reasonable offer. As a result, our trial lawyers have handled class action, complex litigation matters and serious injury cases resulting in over $450 million in payments to our clients.
We strongly believe that litigation involves a cooperative effort between client and attorney. We understand that litigation can be stressful, and we will do our best to keep you informed of the status of your case. You will find us honest, humane and genuine. Thanks for reading!!
