The firm’s attorneys focus on defending high exposure and pattern litigation nationally for household name manufacturers of automotive, life sciences, consumer products and industrial products.

The Challenge

One of the fastest growing state dockets involves California consumer warranty and lemon law claims for the firm’s core automotive clients.
