Class Action Litigation
Class actions are a powerful tool for holding companies accountable for fraudulent, opportunistic and other unfair misconduct. We should know as we have litigated more than 500 class action lawsuits nationwide, cementing our reputation as one of the most experienced, capable and determined legal teams in the country.
What Is a Class Action Lawsuit?
A class action lawsuit allows injured persons to seek redress for even small or minor infractions which otherwise might go unchallenged. A consumer class action is a powerful legal tool that allows a single person – the class representative – to bring a case to represent all other individuals – the class – harmed by the same corporate wrongdoing.
The class representative, through class counsel, litigates the case on behalf of all similarly situated consumers. All similarly situated consumers are part of the class action and will be entitled to participate in the settlement if the case settles or if the class prevails at trial.

Benefits of Class Action Litigation for Consumers
By joining forces, consumers with similar complaints can consolidate resources and are often able to obtain a more substantial settlement than if pursued individually. In addition to monetary settlements, class action settlements can require the company to change its unlawful practices, be more transparent and provide better information to consumers, and generally improve their business practices toward consumers.
Why You Want a Class Action Attorney
Class action lawsuits are highly complex, legally demanding and require a significant commitment of time, capital and other resources. They have their own set of procedural rules for certification and appeals and often generate hundreds of documents. Courts treat the decision to certify a class with heightened scrutiny because certification fundamentally changes the nature and scope of the case and the potential liability for the defendant. Courts are therefore quite rigorous when it comes to reviewing evidentiary records and assessing whether proposed classes are truly cohesive.
Class action litigation can demand significant time and resources before certification is even assured. They require a law firm with the financial and intellectual means to position the case in the best possible way to obtain justice. You want to hire a class action litigation firm for the same reason why you want to hire an experienced electrician to rewrite your house: because you want someone knowledgeable, experienced and equipped to take on the challenges.
Why You Want Almeida Law Group to Represent You
At Almeida Law Group, we have the experience, acumen and resources to go toe-to-toe with corporations on behalf of our clients. Our attorneys bring a unique perspective to class action litigation because we trained at major international law firms, where we obtained experience representing corporate defendants in such cases. This alternative view enables us to anticipate and successfully counter the strategies commonly employed by corporate counsel defending class action litigation. Our ability to skillfully oppose motions to dismiss the case at an early stage before the class has a chance to have a judge or jury consider the merits of its claims is critical to obtaining relief for our clients.
