Practice Areas

Class Action Practice

McGuire Law, P.C. is viewed by courts as a leader in plaintiffs' class and mass action litigation. The firm represents clients in a variety of class action matters, with a particular emphasis on technology class actions. Due to their extensive experience in litigating and settling some of the largest consumer class actions in the country, McGuire attorneys have been recognized as pioneers in the field of technology class actions. McGuire Law P.C. has collectively worked on hundreds of class actions in the following areas, securing awards totaling millions of dollars for thousands of consumers:

The Biometric Information Privacy Act

In recognizing the importance of the security of individuals’ biometrics, the Illinois Legislature enacted the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) in 2008. BIPA is designed to safeguard consumers’ personal biometric information by requiring private entities to obtain written consent from consumers prior to the collection of their private biometric information, inform consumers of the specific purpose for the collection of their private biometric information, and publish publicly available disclosures regarding the collection of such private biometric information. 

McGuire attorneys recognize that as the number of data breaches increase, and hackers seek new ways to expose consumers’ personal biometric information, BIPA litigation and the protection of biometric information has become more important. The attorneys of McGuire Law are leading BIPA litigators and have served as counsel on dozens of cases involving the unauthorized collection of millions of consumers’ private biometric information by major corporation defendants at the state and federal district court levels.

Telephone Consumer Protection Act

Congress enacted the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in 1991 to address the increase in telephone marketing calls. The TCPA has been revised over the years to address evolving issues, such as automated text messaging, robocalls, autodialing, marketing calls to cellular telephones, Caller ID requirements for telephone marketers, and the establishment of a national do-not-call registry.

The attorneys of McGuire Law have served as counsel of record for dozens of groundbreaking TCPA rulings involving cellular telephony at the federal district and appellate court levels and the U.S. Supreme Court. The firm's experience is so extensive that our attorneys have been asked to submit testimony to members of Congress on issues related to class actions and have repeatedly worked with federal and state regulatory agencies involving matters at issue in our cases.

Consumer Fraud

Although consumer fraud is an age-old problem, commerce has become increasingly complex and is subject to varying laws and regulations. This has made consumer fraud litigation more challenging.

The attorneys at McGuire Law are skilled in complex commercial litigation involving businesses engaging in deceptive and unscrupulous practices. Their experience and sophistication in consumer fraud lawsuits have helped compensate those who have been misled and wronged by such deceptive business practices. The firm’s attorneys are creative, innovative, and resourceful in using consumer protection laws to benefit consumers in the present, and deter wrongful conduct in the future.

Defective Products

Too often, companies cut corners and sell products that are defective or that do not work as advertised. As a result, people or companies who buy them find that those products are not worth what was paid for them. Consumers have a right to expect that the products they buy will operate as they are supposed to and as advertised.

McGuire Law attorneys have achieved success for clients in cases involving defective products such as automobiles, cellphones, appliances, consumer electronics, and household goods. McGuire Law is committed to helping clients recoup losses resulting from products that do not provide the benefit for which consumers have paid.

Abusive Debt Collection

Many consumer debts are undocumented, untimely, or legally invalid. The attorneys at McGuire Law may be able to get the court presiding over a debt collection case to dismiss it. They also may be able to obtain compensation for the time and money an individual spends defending against an unlawful debt collection. It is important for individuals to understand their rights and the steps they need to take after receiving a collection letter or notice of a court date.

If you believe you have been a victim of abusive debt collection practices, contact a McGuire Law attorney to see how we can help.

General Commercial Litigation

In addition to the firm's substantial class action practice, McGuire Law attorneys have represented consumers in a broad variety of other consumer and commercial litigation cases, including landlord tenant disputes, prescription drug recall, and defective medical devices.
