MR. ANDREW P. BELL: Every day in America, there are about seven billion transactions that are done. These transactions, a lot of them, are uniform in nature done by thousands of individuals. When individuals are wronged by the conduct of a company or a company deceives them in some way, these individuals have really only one way to seek redress or justice, which is to file a class action lawsuit. Now, class actions, they're a legal tool that a court can use to combine people's claims into one case. If there are a few people, dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people who've been wronged by the same conduct, a court can combine the cases into one case and allow the case to proceed against a company and seek justice for the people, for the wrong that was done against them. The claims have to be brought on behalf of people that are similarly situated, and that's the way the statute is worded, similarly situated. That means that you and your claim are similar to someone else's claim, or that you've been wronged by substantially the same kind of conduct. If you have a claim like that, you can bring it to our attention, and our firm can evaluate your claim, determine whether it's the kind of claim that matches the criteria or the standards that need to be met to bring it as a class action claim. The class actions, they save time, money and resources, not just for you as a plaintiff, but also for the judicial system as a whole. Instead of trying to bring a claim for less than $100 or less than $1,000, a class action allows you to combine that with other people's claims for the same amounts of money or substantially the same amounts and therefore be able to hire the best attorneys that you can to litigate your claim on behalf of everyone else at the same time. Now, our firm has been involved in some of the largest consumer fraud class actions in the country. We are a nationwide recognized leader in bringing class actions of all types and in all types of courts in this country, federal and state courts. If you have a claim or you believe that you might have a claim because a company has wronged you or done something which violates a statute, please, contact us and we can help you evaluate that claim and advise you what is the best course of conduct to take.
