Class Actions

Powerful corporations and institutions should be held accountable when they violate people’s rights. Class Actions are a way to do so. If you have been injured or wronged, you might not be alone. Patterson Law is here to help you determine if others have suffered the same mistreatment. 

Whether you have suffered from a defective product, medical treatment or pharmaceutical drug, a privacy breach,  environmental contamination, or government wrongdoing you may be able to band together with other individuals to start a class action.

If you have a question about an ongoing class action or are contemplating a new class action, please do not hesitate to contact us for a consultation.
