Howard Erichson was quoted in a New York Post article about class-action lawsuits.
Cases that do not quickly settle with a private payout can drag on for years. When they finally end, the result can sometimes be “designed to benefit the class action lawyers instead of the consumers,” said Fordham Law school Professor Howard Erichson.
Class action lawsuits can do much good, Erichson believes. “What class actions do is create a whole bunch of Davids fighting against the Goliaths together,” he said.
