Class action and mass tort lawsuits greatly benefit from media exposure, as do the attorneys who practice in these areas. We have successfully brought attention to all manner of issues involving race, gender or religious bias – as well as cases involving predatory credit or lending practices. This attention has helped the attorneys we represent build such cases and has put them on the map as successful class action and mass tort attorneys.
And while consumer class actions are always newsworthy, we recognize that an attorney who announces a class action too early risks attracting competitors. And class actions must be truly unique to garner national media attention.
We have worked with many attorneys to put them in the forefront of new mass tort and class actions. And we have made sure that the media coverage of these cases has focused on the unique aspects of these actions and their nationwide importance to all consumers.
These cases have ranged from the very small – involving a few defective domestic water heaters – to gigantic cases involving tobacco, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. All these cases benefited from the media exposure, as did the attorneys who brought them to the public’s attention.
