Class Action Settlements & More

A class action lawsuit is a civil suit that is brought by a plaintiff, like a consumer or worker, to seek justice for themselves and a group of others who have suffered common injuries. These shared harms result from the misconduct of a defendant, like a corporation or employer. In our decades of practice at Migliaccio & Rathod LLP, we have prosecuted a number of noteworthy cases in DC and nationwide that resulted in class action settlements and jury verdicts. Our successful cases span many practice areas including wage and hour violations, civil rights lawsuits, defective products, unfair and deceptive practices, and more, where our firm was able to step forward for a plaintiff and successfully vindicate the rights of others.
