On the Pulse…In-Step With Our Consumer Financial Services Litigation Practice Group
The multitude of federal and state consumer protection laws present challenges for consumer financial services companies seeking to remain compliant with the laws while avoiding claims and lawsuits.
The attorneys in Marshall Dennehey’s Consumer Financial Services Litigation Practice Group understand the challenges financial institutions, creditors, debt collectors, and others face in this very specific field of litigation. Our attorneys defends individual and class action lawsuits arising from claims under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA); Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA); Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA); Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA); Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA); state consumer statutes, and more.
Additional clients represented include debt servicers, debt buyers, auto finance companies, repossession companies, student lenders and servicers, telecommunication providers, collection attorneys, mortgage lenders, and credit reporting agencies.
Attorneys across our 19 offices are on the front lines representing clients against claims brought by the increasingly sophisticated consumer plaintiffs’ bars in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Connecticut, and the District of Columbia. Primary attorneys handling these matters include Jeremy Zacharias in New Jersey; myself, Aaron Moore, Stephen Keim, and Maureen Fitzgerald in Pennsylvania; Caroline Pacheco, Holly Hamilton, and Joe Hess in Florida; and David Lane in New York.
Members of our practice group maintain active memberships in the Association of Credit and Collection Professionals (ACA International) and the National Creditors Bar Association (NCBA). We often attend and speak at these conferences to keep abreast of the ever-changing regulatory environment impacting our clients.
Marshall Dennehey’s Consumer Financial Services Litigation Practice Group offers cost-effective, intelligent, and pragmatic representation to our clients. While we aggressively defend claims in litigation, we understand that the most critical component of litigation is an open line of communication. We never lose sight of our clients’ goals, and we meet their expectations with focused attention arising from our extensive knowledge of the law. Our principal focus is to empower our clients to make informed decisions and to develop an appropriate defense strategy.
We welcome your inquiries about our practice group and how we may help you efficiently resolve your consumer financial services litigation.
