Defending victims of telecommunications fraud
For decades, Girard Gibbs' attorneys have successfully defended consumers and prosecuted major telecom companies, including AT&T, Sprint, and MCI WorldCom (now Verizon), for allegedly unfair or fraudulent practices involving land-line phones, cell phones, cable, internet fraud, and other forms of electronic communication.
We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for our telecom clients, notably serving as co-lead counsel in one of the largest telecom class action settlements in history leading to payments of over $90 million to affected MCI customers.
About Telecom Fraud Lawsuits
A class action is a type of lawsuit designed to allow many people who were subject to the same legal violation by the same company to join together and seek remedies for the violations of their rights. Class actions are particularly useful in telecom cases, where consumers sometimes find that their damages are too small to justify an individual case.
Our attorneys have represented thousands of telecom subscribers in class action lawsuits involving phone fraud, cramming, slamming, Universal Service Fund fee violations, billing fraud, and other unlawful activities. We have represented consumers under numerous consumer protection laws, including the Communications Act of 1934 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Consumers also have important legal rights under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
