CONSUMER PROTECTION CLASS ACTION ATTORNEYS
2 Leading East Coast Consumer Class Action Litigation Law Firms Protecting Many Consumers Through Class Action Litigation
Often people who are harmed by a business’ unlawful practices and who suffer minor losses may think it would be difficult, or even impossible, to challenge a big corporation on their own. However, when a business violates the law by selling defective products or defrauding many people, consumer protection class action attorneys can help level the playing field.
When defrauded consumers join forces to create a class action, there is power in numbers. A class action gathers all consumers who were harmed by a business into one consolidated lawsuit to recover the entire group’s losses. These cases are complicated and require certain resources and skills to successfully represent dozens or sometimes thousands of consumers.
Most attorneys do not have the experience and means to take on a class action.

The Class Action Process and Potential Remedies
A class action is usually initiated by an individual or small group of people who were harmed by the same entity—often a large corporation. The lawsuit not only represents the initial group, but also a larger group of all other people who were similarly wronged. To accomplish this, the consumer protection class action attorneys ask the court to certify the class on behalf of “all individuals who are similarly situated.”
For example, a class might include all people in the US who were charged an unlawful fee on a certain credit card. If the court determines that the legal issue affects a large group of card holders that deserves to be protected, it will certify the class action and allow the initial plaintiff to proceed on behalf of everyone in the group.
If the class action is successful, the members of the class may receive monetary court awards or settlements. The court may also enter orders against the defendant to stop the unlawful behavior, provide better disclosures and information to consumers, and improve its business practices including the way customers are treated.
