Overview
California has some of the strongest consumer protection laws in the nation, and we use these laws to hold businesses accountable for fraud, deceptive practices, and other violations of consumer rights.
Our consumer protection attorneys represent individuals and classes of consumers in cases involving false advertising, unfair business practices, and corporate misconduct that causes financial or physical harm to consumers.
Large corporations have vast resources and legal teams designed to protect their interests. Individual consumers often feel powerless to challenge unfair practices. The Brandi Law Firm provides the resources and experience necessary to take on these entities and pursue accountability.
Our firm's track record includes some of the largest consumer class action verdicts in California history, demonstrating our commitment to protecting consumers and our ability to succeed against major corporations.
Types of Cases We Handle

Claims against companies that make misleading claims about their products or services to deceive consumers.
Unfair Business Practices
Actions against businesses engaging in practices that violate California's Unfair Competition Law (Business & Professions Code section 17200).
Deceptive Pricing
Cases involving bait-and-switch tactics, hidden fees, and other deceptive pricing practices.

Understanding California Law
California's Unfair Competition Law (UCL), codified in Business & Professions Code sections 17200-17210, prohibits any unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practice. This broad statute allows consumers to challenge a wide range of corporate misconduct.
The Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), Civil Code sections 1750-1785, provides additional protections for consumers, including the right to sue for damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees in cases involving deceptive practices in consumer transactions.
California's class action procedures allow one or a few individuals to bring suit on behalf of a large group of similarly situated consumers. This mechanism makes it economically feasible to challenge practices that cause relatively small harm to many individuals but result in significant unjust enrichment for the offending company.
Potential Compensation
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be able to pursue compensation for the following types of damages:
Our Process
Case Evaluation
We review the business practice at issue, assess its impact on consumers, and determine whether individual or class action litigation is most appropriate.
Investigation
We gather evidence of the unfair or deceptive practice, including company communications, marketing materials, and consumer experiences.
Class Certification (if applicable)
In class action cases, we seek court certification of the class, demonstrating that the case meets the legal requirements for proceeding on behalf of all affected consumers.
Discovery & Trial Preparation
We conduct thorough discovery to uncover the full extent of the company's misconduct and prepare for trial.
Resolution
We pursue the maximum recovery for consumers, whether through settlement or trial, and seek to put an end to the unlawful practice.
What Sets Us Apart
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a class action lawsuit?
A class action is a legal procedure that allows one or a few named plaintiffs to sue on behalf of a large group of people who have been similarly harmed. This is an efficient way to pursue claims that might not be economically viable if brought individually.
How do I join a class action?
In most cases, if a class is certified, you are automatically included unless you choose to opt out. If you believe you have been harmed by a business practice that affects many consumers, contact us to discuss whether a class action may be appropriate.
What does it cost to participate in a consumer protection case?
In most consumer protection and class action cases, attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless the case is successful. Attorney's fees are typically paid from the recovery.
Can I sue a company for misleading advertising?
Yes, California's consumer protection laws provide several avenues for challenging false or misleading advertising. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to pursue claims under the UCL, CLRA, or other applicable statutes.
