How To Respond To A Class Action Lawsuit

If your law firm has been hit with a class action lawsuit, timeliness is key—and choosing the right local counsel and contract attorney services can be one of the most important decisions you make. It can mean the difference between a positive outcome and a less-than-positive one. At Madden Law LLC, we offer practical support for law firms facing high-stakes litigation, whether you need representation in Illinois courts or extra bandwidth to manage document-heavy deadlines.

With more than 20 years of experience in litigation and a commitment to client-focused service, attorney David Madden has built a reputation for being approachable, responsive, and sharp in the courtroom. Our firm’s ability to serve as local counsel in both federal and state matters for those around Cook and DuPage County makes us a reliable option for firms facing class action suits.

Coordinate With The Right Support

Class actions often involve multiple layers of response—from motions to dismiss to early settlement discussions. This is where local counsel and contract attorney services come in handy. We can help draft filings, manage requests, and appear at hearings on your behalf.

If your firm needs extra capacity for an ongoing case, we offer freelance attorney services designed to step in where needed without long-term commitments. Our temporary legal staffing can step in as needed, so you don’t have to overload your in-house staff or stretch your existing team too thin. We’ve served as the eyes and ears for numerous firms that appreciate clear, no-fluff communication, and we’re proud of the relationships we’ve built through this work. Our clients return time and time again not just because we deliver results, but because we’re easy to work with and responsive from start to finish.

Be Present Where It Matters

The moment you’re served with a class action lawsuit, the clock starts ticking. It’s not only important to prepare your legal arguments in a timely manner—it’s also about taking control of the process early. Our local counsel and contract attorney services allow businesses to meet court requirements efficiently, without scrambling to find a last-minute solution. We work with attorneys who need boots-on-the-ground representation and businesses that don’t have a full in-house legal department but still want skilled support. We’re not limited to specifics; if you’re dealing with a lawsuit and need legal counsel, we’re here for you.

If your legal team isn’t local, having someone who understands how things work in Cook, DuPage, or surrounding counties can be a huge advantage. We provide local court representation for attorneys and small businesses that need someone who knows the judges, the filing systems, and the expectations of local counsel. That familiarity can save time—and help avoid procedural headaches.
