• People who suffer discrimination because of age, gender, disability or race.
• Individuals injured or killed because of another’s negligent acts.
• Citizens whose civil rights have been violated.
• Workers who have been fired unjustly or injured on the job.
• Investors and others wronged by financial institutions.
• Those whose lives are undercut when insurance companies act in bad faith.
