In a class action, a large group of people with similar legal disputes are represented by a few named individuals called “class representatives.”  Class actions allow for a system-wide solution to repeated violations of the law by businesses.  Because a few people are able to stand up for the rights of hundreds or thousands of others, many class members receive a benefit from the case without having to go through the stress and expense of personally litigating the case. 

To litigate class action claims, attorneys need to consider numerous state and federal laws regarding the specific types of claims.  In addition, class action attorneys must also navigate a large body of procedural law that relates specifically to class actions.  These dual requirements mean that attorneys are most successful when class actions are a serious part of their practice.   At The Simon Law Firm, we have a dedicated group of class action attorneys who focus largely on class actions.

The result of our focus on class actions is an aggressive and diverse group of class action attorneys who are involved in wide variety of interesting and meaningful cases.  Here are few examples of the types of cases that have been prosecuted by attorneys at The Simon Law Firm.
