Termination of Exclusive Investigation Period

CA agrees that the Exclusive Investigative Period may not extend beyond 180 days without your prior written consent.

At any time between the date of this agreement and the expiration of CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period, CA may inform you of the outcome of its investigation. If CA’s investigation reveals that you have an actional consumer law claim, CA may ask you to sign a formal retainer agreement.

You agree to meaningfully participate and cooperate in CA’s investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s). You agree to immediately inform CA if your mailing address, e-mail address, or phone number changes at any point during the Exclusive Investigative Period.
You agree to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, materials, and all other similar instruments to CA and its representatives during the Exclusive Investigative Period. You understand that your failure to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, and materials to CA during the Exclusive Investigative Period may hinder, delay or otherwise frustrate CA’s investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s).

Practice Areas
Credit Reporting Errors Attorneys
Our experienced credit report error attorneys help you fight back when you lose out on opportunities due to inaccurate, misleading, or false information in a credit report or other consumer report. This includes common mistakes like clerical errors, mixed credit reports, false deceased designations, and reporting old information (like a bankruptcy). Credit reporting errors lead to things like being denied a mortgage, refinancing, personal loan, or car loan; losing out on a job, apartment, or vacation rental; being rejected for insurance, lines of credit, or store cards; or being barred from getting the best interest rates and loan terms. See more
Background Check Errors Attorneys
Our experienced background check error attorneys help you fight back when you lose out on opportunities due to inaccurate, misleading, or false information in a background check report or tenant screening report. This includes things like false criminal information, misreporting the classification of charges, duplicate criminal entries, failing to indicate dropped charges, and reporting expunged/sealed convictions. Background check errors lead to things like being rejected as a new hire, denied a promotion, blocked from a security clearance, fired from a current job, or denied rental opportunities. They're a problem in the ride-share, store shopper, and personal shopper industries. See more
Identity Theft Attorneys
Our experienced identity theft attorneys help you fight back against the wide variety of consumer reporting mistakes that happen following identity theft. While you may be able to pursue criminal charges against identity thieves, you are frequently left without options for cleaning up your financial accounts and credit reports. If you’ve filed notices, disputed unauthorized activity, and challenged false loans and fraudulent accounts, but financial institutions and credit bureaus keep including wrongful data in your consumer reports, there are laws that protect you. Some legal options are time-sensitive, so it is important to act quickly to enforce your rights. See more
Debt Collection Harassment Attorneys
Our experienced debt collection harassment attorneys help you fight back against debt collectors and debt collection agencies who (1) aggressively pursue you for payments on personal, medical, or household debts based on misleading, inaccurate, or false information, (2) pursue you for debts in a manner that is in direct defiance of the clearly established debt collection laws, (3) attempt to collect debts on medical bills arising out of covered workers' compensation or Medicaid claims, or (4) use intimidation tactics like falsely implying that a debt must be paid by you immediately, in contradiction to the facts and the law. See more
Employment Discrimination Attorneys
Our experienced employment discrimination attorneys help you fight back against illegal treatment at your workplace. Employment discrimination is targeting or preferring employees based on their status as a member of a protected group (or “class”) rather than their work performance, talent, or experience. Protected classes include categories such as age, race, sex, gender, disability, marital status, military status (including veteran status), pregnancy, national origin or ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. Employment discrimination can be direct (targeted actions or preferences) or indirect (policies with an unfair impact on one class). Knowing what counts as discrimination involves a nuanced factual and legal analysis. See more
Labor and Employment Attorneys
Our experienced labor and employment dispute attorneys help you fight back against workplace exploitation and disputes that arise out of your rights as an employee. This includes employee abuses such as unpaid or underpaid minimum wages, failing to pay overtime, forcing employees to work in unsafe conditions, refusing meal or rest breaks, ignoring workplace health and safety standards, unfairly denying family and medical leave, and more. While exploitative and illegal labor practices occur in every industry, some of the highest incidences of overtime and minimum wage disputes occur in food service, retail, home care, janitorial services, and construction. See more
Car Accident Attorneys
Our experienced car accident victim attorneys help you fight to recover from the devastating physical, emotional, and financial damages that follow in the wake of a car accident. The web of recovery is complex, requiring an attorney capable of (1) identifying the legally responsible parties, (2) holding those parties accountable, (3) navigating medical bills, including workers comp or Medicaid, (4) fending off unscrupulous debt collectors, (5) going head-to-head with insurance companies in pursuit of coverage, (6) selecting top experts for reviews, reports, and testimony, and (6) ensuring you have access to all of the resources you need to fully recover. See more
Worker Compensation Attorneys
Our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys help you fight for physical, medical, emotional, and financial justice following injuries sustained at work or due to your employment. Some of the most common workplace injuries include injuries to the back, neck, head, or brain, repetitive strain injuries (like carpal tunnel syndrome), and burns or chemical exposures. Workers’ compensation is supposed to cover the costs of medical expenses, lost wages, vocational rehab, and death benefits. When employers and insurance companies try to avoid the legal obligation to pay by denying coverage, working with an attorney can make the difference between getting better or going broke. See more
Slip and Fall Attorneys
Our experienced slip-and-fall accident attorneys help you recover from the physical, medical, emotional, and financial injuries that result from an accident in which you slipped, tripped, and fell on someone else’s property due to the property owner’s negligence. There are an unlimited number of scenarios that can lead to this type of accident, but two common causes of slip and fall accidents are (1) weather-related hazards, such as snow and ice, and (2) uneven surfaces, such as uneven sidewalks or floorboards. Working with a seasoned and skilled attorney sets you up to win compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. See more
Construction Injury Attorneys
Our experienced construction injury victim attorneys fight to help you recover from the physical, medical, emotional, and financial trauma of injuries sustained while on or near a construction site. These types of injuries can impact people across a range of circumstances, including (1) construction workers employed by the company who are on-site in the course of their jobs, (2) third-party workers who are onsite for a specific task, such as contractors, subcontractors, inspectors, engineers, government regulators, etc., or (3) the public at large, injured by the negligence of those involved with the construction project, such as a bystander injured by falling equipment.
