The Firm

A California litigation practice devoted to the consumer.

Consumer Lit is a plaintiffs-side consumer protection law firm based in California. Our practice is built on a single premise: the consumer protection statutes enacted by Congress and the California Legislature mean what they say, and they are enforceable by the consumers they were written to protect.

We bring individual and class claims against corporations that engage in unlawful telemarketing, autodialed calls, pre-recorded messages, text-message campaigns sent without consent, unlawful debt-collection practices, and inaccurate consumer reporting. Our attorneys approach every matter with the seriousness, preparation, and trial readiness that complex consumer litigation demands.

The firm accepts matters on a contingency basis. Clients pay no costs or fees unless we recover.
