Opt-In Process & Consent Form

To opt-in/join the lawsuit you will need to sign the Consent Form and provide your contact information. Please mail or fax the forms as indicated on them to us. We will then contact you to arrange a time when you can come in and sign a contract which allows us to represent you.

Unfortunately, in the event you do not "opt-in," the law does not permit you to share in any cash settlement or favorable verdict. Choosing not to participate is your right and we understand it is a personal decision only you can make. However, the timeframe in which officers may join the case is small. Once you are formally provided notice by the court of your opportunity to participate, that window opens and a reasonable time is provided for you and other officers to "opt-in" by signing the Consent Form and a contract for us to represent you. Once that window closes any officers who decided not to join or failed to return their paperwork to us on time are barred from joining the collective action at a later date. Only those officers who join the action will receive a portion of any settlement or judgment.
