Class Action

Strength in numbers. Pooling resources. Leveling the playing field. These concepts underlie class action lawsuits. These complex proceedings are a powerful way to seek justice and relief for those who would otherwise lack the ability to do so, but they involve unique and nuanced procedural and factual issues as well as armies of well-funded defense attorneys determined to defeat such claims at all costs.

We vigorously investigate cases on behalf of our clients without charge to them. We recommend litigation only when liability is clear and damages are substantial and recoverable.

Success in class action cases requires not only exceptional legal knowledge, skill, and resources, but also the steadfast resolve to vindicate the rights of those harmed by malfeasance, negligence, or greed. Few firms in the United States have as enviable a record of success in class action litigation as Carella Byrne.
