Consumer Class Actions
DWT lawyers have handled consumer class actions successfully in state and federal courts across the country. We have succeeded in avoiding class certification in a number of highly publicized cases.

And, when circumstances have warranted it, we have crafted classwide settlements, on both a national and statewide basis, using creative blends of claims processes, partial refunds, coupons and other relief. read more
