The rights of Every Man (and Woman) can be threatened from almost any direction. Gancedo & Nieves understands what it takes to define encroachment and defend claimants. Gancedo & Nieves has vast experience in prosecuting a variety of consumer actions. For instance, our firm represented trustees in a suit against Bank of America for charging trust accounts illegal sweep fees. We also prosecuted private attorney general actions against insurance companies for charging illegal fees in connection with the sale of auto insurance. In other recent consumer class actions, Gancedo & Nieves sought refunds on behalf of certain individuals who paid mortgage insurance premiums to PMI Mortgage Insurance Company via a related loan transaction with Glenfed Federal Bank, F.S.B. Our firm is also pursuing a consumer class action against Brooks Brothers regarding alleged fictitious "sale" prices to consumers and conducting business deceptively under the guise of "outlet stores." Unacceptable abuses can occur in cemeteries, such as illegal disinterment and recycling of grave sites. Gancedo & Nieves attorneys are experienced in representing class and private attorney general actions brought under the California Business and Professions Code. For example, we have helped clients and
their families deter cemeteries such as Woodlawn Memorial Park and
its captive mortuary from conducting unlawful and fraudulent practices
and to recover damages for unfair business practices. This includes
practices such as relocating burial sites, commingling remains,
discarding headstones and disinterring decedents.
