At Serino & Nocon LLP, we represent consumers, employees, and small businesses in complex litigation against corporations, financial institutions, technology companies, manufacturers, and other powerful entities. Our consumer litigation practice focuses on holding companies accountable when unlawful business practices, defective products, data privacy failures, or deceptive conduct harm large groups of people.

We handle both class actions and mass tort litigation, combining sophisticated litigation strategy with practical, client-focused advocacy. Whether pursuing relief for thousands of consumers in a class action or representing individual claimants in coordinated mass tort proceedings, our firm is committed to achieving meaningful results and corporate accountability.

Class Action Litigation

A class action allows one or more individuals to bring claims on behalf of a larger group of people who were harmed in a similar way. Class actions are often an effective tool when the damages suffered by each individual consumer may be relatively modest on their own, but the company’s conduct impacted thousands — or even millions — of people. By proceeding collectively, consumers can level the playing field against large corporations and seek meaningful relief.

Our firm handles a wide range of consumer class action matters, including:

• Data breach and privacy litigation

• Product defect and consumer fraud cases

• Unlawful automatic renewal and subscription practices

• False advertising and deceptive business practices

• California UCL and CLRA claims

• Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) and pyramid scheme litigation

• Antitrust and unfair competition matters

• Financial and technology-related consumer claims

We understand the complexities involved in prosecuting class actions, including class certification, expert analysis, electronic discovery, and large-scale settlement negotiations. Our firm works with leading experts in economics, cybersecurity, damages, marketing, and data analysis to build strong, evidence-driven cases.

Natasha Serino served as class counsel in litigation against Minted, Inc. arising from the company’s 2020 data breach involving customer information. The case resulted in a $5 million settlement for affected consumers, providing compensation and meaningful remedial measures related to the protection of customer data.

In addition to privacy and consumer fraud matters, our firm has experience investigating and pursuing claims involving Multi-Level Marketing companies and alleged pyramid schemes, including claims based on deceptive earnings representations, unfair business practices, and unlawful marketing structures. We also have experience in complex antitrust litigation involving allegations of unlawful market conduct, price-fixing, restraint of trade, and other anti-competitive business practices that harm consumers and businesses alike.

Mass Tort Litigation

Although class actions and mass torts are sometimes discussed together, they are different forms of litigation. In a class action, one or several representative plaintiffs pursue claims on behalf of an entire group, and the case is resolved collectively for the class as a whole. In a mass tort, many individuals pursue similar claims arising from the same product, event, or misconduct, but each claimant maintains an individual case and may have unique injuries and damages. Mass torts are commonly used in cases involving dangerous products, environmental contamination, large-scale disasters, toxic exposure, or widespread institutional misconduct.

Our firm handles mass tort litigation involving catastrophic injuries, defective products, wildfire losses, environmental claims, and other large-scale harms affecting numerous individuals and families. We understand how to navigate coordinated proceedings while still maintaining focus on the individual circumstances and damages suffered by each client.

Strategic, Modern Advocacy

Consumer and mass litigation requires more than aggressive rhetoric — it requires preparation, credibility, and strategic judgment. At Serino & Nocon LLP, we approach every case with meticulous attention to detail, thoughtful litigation strategy, and a commitment to candid client communication. We are prepared to stand up to well-funded corporations and institutions while remaining focused on achieving practical and meaningful outcomes for our clients.
