Last week, our firm filed a petition for certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court in Louis v. Bluegreen. For hundreds of years, people subject to void contracts have been able to go to court to challenge the contract and get their money back. That’s particularly important for military service members, whom the Defense Department has found are often specifically targeted by predatory lenders. We're asking the Supreme Court to grant review so that when a company like Bluegreen targets someone like our client Private Louis with an illegal contract, they can at least get into court to fight it. https://lnkd.in/gewweMB4

Our firm recently won a victory against forced arbitration in the New Mexico Supreme Court in Sanchez v. United Debt Counselors LLC. Firm Principal Jennifer Bennett shared, “This decision makes it harder for companies that harm New Mexicans to enforce unconscionable arbitration clauses. That's a victory for consumers and workers across the state of New Mexico, who just want to be able to have their day in court."

Our founding principal, Deepak Gupta, is quoted in previews of the U.S. Supreme Court's upcoming term that appear in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and NPR's Morning Edition, among other media outlets. In the New York Times: “The Supreme Court seems to be hitting the snooze button,” said Deepak Gupta, a lawyer with Gupta Wessler who frequently appears before the justices. “We’ve gone from constitutional earthquakes to legal paper cuts. It’s as if the justices wanted a controversy cleanse heading into the election.” https://lnkd.in/er5JSzbz https://lnkd.in/ewwZD98V https://lnkd.in/e4reAT34 https://lnkd.in/eE_px9VK https://lnkd.in/eAxzHRsp
