Class Actions
When many people suffer the same violation of their rights, or fall victim to the same deception or fraud, the legal claims are sometimes too complicated and expensive to litigate individually. Our class action practice makes sure your claim doesn’t fall through the cracks.
Privacy Litigation
In an increasingly online world, sensitive personal information is more prone to exposure than ever before. Your privacy is important, whether it’s your personal data, biometric & health information, or financial records. We're here to protect it.
Consumer Protection
The customer always has rights. If those rights are violated through deceptive business practices, or by companies profiting from fraud, our team is ready to hold them accountable and do right by you.
Anti-Trust
Monopoly might be a fun board game, but monopolies in the real world can cause serious harm through price-fixing and other anti-competitive practices. Less competition means not only less innovation, but more expensive products and services for you, the consumer.
Notable Active Cases
Tuccori v. At World Properties, LLC | Case No. 1:2024-cv-00150
Tuccori v. At World Properties, LLC (N.D. Ill. No. 1:24-cv-00150) — Plaintiffs allege that real estate brokerage-related rules, policies, and practices tied to MLS listings operated as anti-competitive restraints that resulted in sellers paying concealed and/or artificially inflated commissions, including through alleged practices such as concealing commission splits, permitting buyer agents to represent services as “free,” limiting changes to buyer-agent commissions after offers are made, and restricting lockbox access. Plaintiffs’ complaint asserts claims for unjust enrichment and alleged violations of Sherman Act § 1 (15 U.S.C. § 1), the Illinois Antitrust Act (740 ILCS 10/1 et seq.), and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (815 ILCS 505/1 et seq.).
Campana v. Nuance Communications, Inc. | Case No. 1:2021-cv-01241
Campana v. Nuance Communications, Inc. (N.D. Ill. No. 1:21-cv-01241; originally filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, 2021CH00374) — Plaintiffs allege that interactive voice response and speech-recognition functionality used in customer service settings captures or derives callers’ voiceprints, bringing the conduct within BIPA’s coverage. The complaint asserts that callers did not receive the written disclosures regarding collection, purpose, and duration—and did not provide the written release—allegedly required by 740 ILCS 14/15(b)(1)–(3). Plaintiffs further contend that the company’s alleged business use of voiceprints amounts to prohibited profit-related conduct under 740 ILCS 14/15(c). Finally, they allege biometric data was shared in ways that violate BIPA’s restrictions on disclosure, citing 740 ILCS 14/15(d)(1).

Freshour et al. v. Cerence Inc. (N.D. Ill. No. 1:23-cv-02667; originally filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, 2023CH02866) — Plaintiffs allege that certain in-vehicle voice-enabled features involve the collection or use of voiceprint biometrics and that the requirements of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act were not satisfied, including BIPA’s notice-and-consent provisions under 740 ILCS 14/15(b)(1)–(3). They also allege noncompliance with BIPA’s retention-policy requirement (740 ILCS 14/15(a)), and assert claims tied to BIPA’s prohibitions on profiting from biometrics (740 ILCS 14/15(c)) and disclosing or disseminating biometric data without the required consent (740 ILCS 14/15(d)).
Cwynar v. The Real Brokerage, Inc., et al. | Case No. 1:2025-cv-07289
Cwynar v. The Real Brokerage, Inc., et al. (N.D. Ill. No. 1:25-cv-07289) — Plaintiff brings a putative class action challenging residential real estate commission practices. The Illinois homebuyer plaintiff’s complaint alleges that brokerage-related rules and practices embedded buyer-agent compensation into home prices, reducing transparency and competition and increasing overall transaction costs. Defendants include The Real Brokerage, Realty ONE Group, The Agency, Vanguard Properties, and Kempa & Associates (a Realty ONE franchise). The complaint further alleges a broader commission-fixing conspiracy—citing alleged concealment of commission information and steering incentives—and asserts claims under Sherman Act § 1 (15 U.S.C. § 1), the Illinois Antitrust Act (740 ILCS 10/1 et seq.), and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (815 ILCS 505/1 et seq., including 815 ILCS 505/2), as well as unjust enrichment.
