Revealing Effortless Systems Of Alder Law Firm
Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Posted on January 26th, 2012
Through the aftermath of the deepest court budget cuts in California‘s history, plaintiffs’ trial lawyer Michael Alder of AlderLaw, P.C. in Beverly Hills assumed the office of president of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA), the nation’s largest local association of plaintiffs’ attorneys, that’s made up of virtually 3,000 lawyers.
“Consumer lawyers are vital, now more than ever, to protecting the civil rights of people who’ve been left without access to judicial relief, which is just about everyone except the super-rich,” said Alder. “Legal bills add up to astronomical sums very quickly, because litigation is such an intensive process. Without lawyers who work on a contingency fee basis, which means they risk their own money instead of the clients’ and agree not to be paid unless they win the case, even people with big incomes quickly find their resources drained when faced with the large legal bills that result from a contested matter. Consumer lawyers must be prepared to provide leadership, vision and most of all integrity.”
Alder is known as the steadfast supporter of plaintiffs’ attorneys, also referred to as consumer lawyers, working to raise public awareness of their importance at a time of corporate fraud and abuse. He’s been a member of CAALA for 14 years and spearheaded a city-wide billboard campaign to fund billboards that highlight the good that consumer lawyers do for society. He also is one of five founding members of the Trial Lawyers Charities, a non-profit organization that donates money in addition to legal expertise to people in need in Los Angeles.
Alder is presently working on some of the most cutting-edge litigation work in the nation. He has tried in excess of 70 court cases as part of his position and obtained in excess of $140 million in decisions and settlements for his valued clientele in 2011 alone. Lately, in December 2011 he gained a nearly $33 million judgement for Concept Chaser, Co., Inc. in the advertising fraud case Concept Chaser Co., Inc. v. Pentel of America Ltd.
CAALA officially installed Alder as its 2012 president on Jan. 21 at its 63rd Annual CAALA Installation & Awards Banquet at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills. The group also announced its new officers and Board of Governors. For more information, visit www.caala.org.
