We also take on major companies and corporations in lawsuits against internet fraud, data breach, insurance and banking violations, unfair credit reporting and background checks, deceptive advertising, and misrepresentations in the marketplace.

We also have extensive experience in prosecuting class action cases and have obtained financial recoveries for over one million workers and consumers, and certified classes for tens of millions of consumers. Our firm includes published author Timothy D.
