HIRING A CONSUMER CLASS
ACTION ATTORNEY:
Answer: If you have been cheated or hurt by a corporate business practice, you should get a competent legal opinion regarding your rights and responsibilities. Everyday, businesses engage in fraudulent and illegal practices, and often consumers and employees are the ones to suffer. An experienced attorney can evaluate your case, tell you what your options are, and represent you in a class action. An attorney will outline all of this information for you in an initial, no-cost, no-obligation consultation.
Question: What are the advantages of hiring an attorney experienced in class actions? Answer: Once you have been victimized, whom can you go to for help? Consumer, Employment, and Securities Class Actions are complex and time consuming. Often the investigation of the business practices requires extensive research and expert consultation. Class action attorneys are experienced at uncovering the fraudulent practices and presenting these claims to the court. Retention of a class action attorney will give you both peace of mind and the confidence that the victimization of consumers will end.
Question: What will this cost me? Answer: Class actions can be prosecuted at no cost to you. Attorneys experienced in class action litigation work on behalf of you and the class. They will advance costs, hire experts and work tirelessly on your case, without you paying any money out of your own pocket. Class action attorneys are paid from the result of the case, so their recovery is dependent on the success of the case. For this reason, you can receive the best in aggressive legal representation, without ever receiving a bill. If successful, the class action attorneys' fees and costs are approved and awarded by the Court.
Question: Won't a class action require a lot of my time? Answer: Absolutely not. The class action procedure was designed to provide consumers with a streamlined procedure to stop unfair treatment. If you have a claim, you may act as a class representative (one or more) who represents an entire class of consumers who were similarly victimized. Class representatives are only required to tell their story about the particular product, good or service at issue and represent the best interests of the class. This procedure recognizes that you interest may only be a few dollars, so the expected commitment of time is very small.
Question: What will I receive? Answer: If you have bought a defective product, been underpaid, paid for something that was falsely advertised or lost money on a stock purchase, you are entitled to a refund. Class actions seek to obtain restitution for you and all others similarly situated. You will receive the same recovery as every other class member, and this recovery will be approved by the Court. Further, in acknowledgment for your work on behalf of the class, courts will usually also approve an incentive payment to persons serving as class representatives. Finally, many class representatives are simply tired of being taken advantage of by corporate America, and for them, class actions are the only way to prevent the fraud from occurring to other innocent victims.
