In 2007, Ms. Anderson settled a class action on behalf of approximately 163 members of the defunct Whole Arts Group Health Insurance Plan. As part of the settlement, Ms. Anderson obtained payment of the outstanding medical bills and reimbursement of out of pocket medical expenses on behalf of the consumer class. See Russo v. WholeArts Foundation, Inc., et al, Index No. 603037/03 (KM) (New York Supreme Court).

In 2008, Ms. Anderson was co-lead counsel in a consumer class action against Allstate Insurance Co. for violation of the New York General Business Law Section 349 in failing to renew consumer’s Allstate home insurance policies unless the consumer also agreed to buy auto insurance from Allstate. The action resulted in a settlement which provided injunctive relief to the class comprised of over 54,000 homeowners. As a result of the settlement, members of the settlement class were able to obtain precisely what they had been wrongfully denied: renewal of their Allstate home owner insurance policies without having to purchase additional policies. See Sebrow, et al. v. Allstate Insurance Co., et al. 07 CV 3929 (FB)(RLM) (E.D.N.Y.).

In 2009, Ms. Anderson obtained preliminary certification under the Fair Labor Standards Act of wage and hour claims brought on behalf of workers at the Baluchi’s Indian Restaurants. See Patel, et al. v. Baluchi’s Indian Restaurant, et al., 08 Civ. 9885 (RJS)(S.D.N.Y.).

In 2010, Ms. Anderson was lead counsel in a consumer class action against JP Morgan Chase, which alleged violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”) and New York General Business Law Section 349 for charging home owners a “post closing fee”, an alleged junk fee, on their mortgage. The litigation resulted in a settlement fund of approximately $20 million and provided approximately 50,000 home owners with the opportunity to be reimbursed 100% in cash, plus interest, for any post closing fees which the consumers paid to Chase. See Cohen v. JP Morgan Chase & Co. and JP Morgan Chase Bank, 04-cv-4098 (ILG) (E.D.N.Y.).

In addition, Ms. Anderson currently represents consumers in following putative class actions: Liebowitz v. Dow Jones & Company, Inc., 06 CV 2198 (MGC)(S.D.N.Y.) (claims for breach of contract and violation of the New York General Business Law Section 349 for failure to provide consumers with their prepaid subscriptions to WSJ.com and Barron’s Online for the duration of the subscription period); Agostino, et al, v. Quest Diagnostics, Inc., et al, 04-CV-4362 (SRC)(MAS)(D.N.J.)

Hewlett-Packard Company, 09-CV-05341 (JF)(N.D. Ca.) (breach of warranty and violation of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act § 1750 et seq. in connection with the marketing and sales of defective HP Elite computers).
