Narrator
False advertising, deceptive sales practices, product mislabeling, pyramid schemes. When companies try to take advantage of the public, the class action lawyers at Sommers Schwartz fight to protect consumers who have been injured, misled or defrauded. In many cases, the cost of one person bringing a lawsuit is prohibitive and far outweigh the amount of a verdict or settlement. A class action allows a large group of similarly situated people to bring a collective lawsuit in a much more cost-effective way.

Class action testimonial – illegal pyramid scheme
I wanted to earn extra money to take care of my family so I signed up to be a sales distributor for a multi-level marketing program. It turned out to be an illegal pyramid scheme. The company told me I’d supplement my income by selling products and services to customers in my area. Instead, I was only paid when I recruited other distributors who then became my competitors.

And because the company forced me to pay ongoing fees to remain a distributor, I got scammed out of my entire investment, money we needed to pay bills and save for my kids’ college education. Thank goodness for the Sommers Schwartz class action lawyers. They were there to help me and thousands of other distributors obtain compensation. They fought hard for us, turning over every stone to uncover the fraud.

Being a part of a class action meant Sommers Schwartz was representing all of us yet they kept me personally informed at every step. If I had to sue the company alone, I may not have recovered the amount I ultimately received. The attorneys at Sommers Schwartz settled the case for $46 million. My portion of the settlement allowed me to get back on track and cover my losses. On behalf of my family, thank you Sommers Schwartz.

Narrator
We’ve recovered millions of dollars for our clients across the US and in some lawsuits, we’ve tracked down company owners and executives in other countries to obtain compensation.

We get involved in cases against some of the largest and most formidable firms in the country and much more often than not, we win or at least we do quite well or we end up with a very favorable settlement or we make some new law. Well that’s exciting.

We group together thousands of people who otherwise wouldn’t have the resources or the amount of damages at issue to hire a lawyer and sue a big company.

At Sommers Schwartz, you don’t get just one lawyer but an entire team of attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants experienced in complex class action matters.
