Our class action experience dates back to 1985 when we were appointed by the Court as the Court Appointed Disbursing Agent (CADA). Since then, the Class Action Consulting Team has been appointed as CADA or Claims Administrator for nearly 100 cases and disbursed Settlement Funds totaling nearly $2 billion. We have provided services to attorneys, various state and federal Courts, and their Appointees in many other mass tort litigations in which we were not officially appointed by the Court.
Our long history with mass tort litigations combined with personnel with database, systems, accounting and tax expertise that are devoted full time to class action consultation, enables a level of service that is unrivaled.
