Consumer Class Action Lawyer Fighting for You and Your Family
Across the San Fernando Valley and Beyond
Dedicated Representation for Consumer Class Actions
When a company’s conduct harms many people through unlawful fees, false advertising, defective products, or privacy violations, a class action can provide a path to relief. I offer a free consultation and if I accept your case, there is no fee unless I win (on cases done on a contingency fee basis). At The Law Office of Frederick S. Schwartz, you speak directly with me from day one, and I keep you informed while I push for the result you need.
Why You Need a Class Action Lawyer
Businesses and their insurers devote significant resources to defeating class cases. As a former insurance company attorney, I understand defense strategies and how to build a record that supports certification and liability. I evaluate whether claims are suitable for class treatment or whether an individual case makes more sense, and I explain options clearly.
Common Unlawful Practices in Los Angeles
Unfair add-on fees, misleading subscription renewals, deceptive labeling, unlawful data sharing, and warranty misrepresentations appear across industries. I investigate documents, marketing, contracts, and company policies to show how the practice affects consumers in the Valley and throughout Los Angeles.
What To Do If You Suspect a Consumer Violation
Save contracts, emails, receipts, and screenshots. Write down dates and details of each problem. Do not contact the company for a refund until we discuss whether communications could affect your claims. I can review your materials and advise on next steps.
Consumer Class Actions in The San Fernando Valley — FAQs
What is a class action?
A case where one or more people represent a larger group with similar claims. The court must certify the class before the case proceeds on behalf of everyone.
Do I qualify to be part of a class?
If you were affected in the same way as others by the same practice, you may be included. I can review how the conduct impacted you.
Will I have to go to court?
Usually not for class members. If you are a class representative, participation may be required. I explain the commitment before any filing.
What can a class action recover?
Refunds, statutory damages where allowed, corrective changes in business practices, and attorney’s fees and costs. I pursue relief that fits the harm.
