Challenging unscrupulous corporations on behalf of consumers

At McCallum, Methvin & Terrell, P.C., our Birmingham, Alabama litigation firm, our attorneys work to hold large corporations accountable when they take advantage of their customers. Our lawyers handle consumer fraud cases for clients not only in Alabama communities but throughout the United States.

Power in numbers: consumer class actions

Some of our clients have claims that seem very small on an individual basis. However, the individual's claim may be representative of claims experienced by thousands or millions of other consumers. If a group of people who have similar claims against the same company can be identified, a consumer class action may be appropriate to stop the company's pattern of abuse.

Consumer fraud covers a broad range of deceptive conduct

Our firm has handled claims of fraud for consumers against a wide variety of companies, including those in the insurance and financial industries. Examples of cases we handled are:

• The selling of life insurance and annuities that offer little or no benefit to the consumer, misrepresentation of the actual coverage included in a Medicare HMO policy, or rising premiums based on improper rating procedures on a health insurance policy designed for self-employed individuals.
• Deceptive and predatory lending practices, including deceptive sales presentations for loans, collecting hidden fees and charges in mortgages or home equity loans, and the addition of unneeded and overpriced credit insurance on consumer loans.
• The charging of excessive and unwarranted fees resulting from illegal tie-ins to other products.
• Collection of money for insurance premiums by agents who do not forward the premiums to the insurance company.

Contact our office to arrange a free consultation with a lawyer with the experience to evaluate your claim. In most cases, if we take a case, our client pays no expense or attorney fees unless we recover a settlement or verdict.
