Class action lawsuits are a unique legal tool that permits investors and consumers in band together against a much larger corporate wrongdoer. The class action procedure allows individuals and businesses to prosecute meritorious cases that would have been too expensive and inefficient to litigate individually. The Shuman Law Firm's attorneys have had great success in prosecuting class actions. Below is a sample of some of the more notable cases that they have prosecuted. Rasner v.
