Indianapolis Class Actions Law Firm - Price Waicukauski & Riley, LLC

Class action lawyers must be experienced with complex litigation and class action certification, notice, and settlement procedures. Large corporate defendants always put up formidable opposition in cases involving thousands of claimants.

A class action is a lawsuit brought by one or more claimants as representatives for an entire group of claimants who have been affected by a common violation. This process creates a method for addressing relatively small claims that might otherwise be too costly to litigate on an individual basis.

Price Waicukauski & Riley Law has an experienced team of class action attorneys willing to tackle the most complex of cases and aggressively face bigger law firms and corporations on their clients' behalf. Based in Indiana, their class action lawyers have represented plaintiff classes in numerous lawsuits and have the background for success. Visit www.price-law.com for more information.

Ex-DC Council chairman pleads guilty to 2 charges


The former chairman of the District of Columbia Council pleaded guilty Friday to lying about his income on bank loan applications, the latest blow to a city government rocked by scandal.
Kwame Brown also admitted to a misdemeanor campaign finance violation, capping a tumultuous week in which he forfeited his position as one of the city's most influential powerbrokers. His departure creates more turnover on the city's governing body and follows the resignation of another councilmember who admitted to stealing public funds earmarked for youth sports programs.
Their departures this year — coupled with a federal probe of Mayor Vincent Gray's 2010 campaign that has already produced guilty pleas from two campaign aides — have sent the district government into a tailspin. And the scandals likely aren't helping efforts to gain greater budget autonomy, much less win more voting power for the district's delegate to Congress or to secure the long-sought goal of statehood.
