No, I'm not a lawyer. My name is Shelley Powers. I write about technology for a living. I also happen to be a passionate supporter for consumer rights. Enough so that I took the time to understand the issues. |

1 edit | Class actions are the lesser of two evils. Are 500,000 people going to individually hire a lawyer and go after AA&T (or whoever) for the less than $100 dollars that they owe them? Are those people going individually sue for the shit service they received? No.
You can bring up weak class action suits like the Airborne class action all day long. But without class action suits companies are made to be responsible, where they would not normally be if individuals had to sue to get what is due to them. |

| reply to Shelleyp You should definitely get a second opinion. The truth is, the vast majority of class action lawsuits do not benefit the consumer in a significant fashion and favor the attorneys monetarily. There's nothing wrong with looking our for the rights of the consumer as look as you do it objectively and in an informed manner. |
