Like other professionals, lawyers tend to specialize in particular areas of practice.  Some focus on real estate closings or contracts; others handle injury cases only.  Some never see the inside of a courtroom, while others take many cases to trial.  Each area of the law has its own rules, procedures, and nuances, and by concentrating in a specific field, a lawyer doesn’t just gain experience, but comes to understand, and exploit, the strategies and tactics that help them best serve their clients.  At Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche, we have years of experience handling tenants class actions.  While other lawyers learn the ropes on your time – and at your expense – we’ve already mastered this complicated area of law.  And we’ve got the record, and reputation, to prove it.

Most tenants class action cases are handled on a contingent fee agreement.  This means that we receive a percentage of any recovery you obtain as a result of the case, whether it be a verdict we win or a settlement we negotiate.  It also means that if no recovery is achieved, you pay us nothing.  Our expenses work the same way.  Should you recover an award or settlement, our costs in developing the case are deducted from that.  If you don’t recover, you don’t repay us.  The risk is ours.  We take it because of our belief in our abilities – and your case.

 

A class action is a lawsuit where one or more plaintiffs pursue the case while representing a much larger group, or class, of individuals.  In these suits, the claims of all plaintiffs – both those named in the complaint and those who are members of the class – must arise from common facts.  Class actions allow lawyers to vindicate the rights of large groups of people – and often to spur important social changes. 

 

Only by contacting a law firm experienced in tenants class actions will you know if you have a valid claim.  The lawyers will consult with you, analyze the facts of the situation, and determine the strength of the case – and the prospects for success.  Tenants class actions can be complex – and often difficult to evaluate.  Yet one rule is simple: The more experienced the attorney, the more accurate their assessment will be.
