Cases We Handle
Is this happening to you?

Background check errors are more common than you think — and under federal law, companies that get it wrong face real consequences. Here's what we handle.

🚫

Denied a Job

An employer ran a background check and turned you down — but the information may be wrong, outdated, or belong to someone else entirely.

⚠ Potential FCRA Violation
📋

Errors on Your Report

Wrong convictions, expunged records showing up, cases that weren't yours — these are federal violations with real statutory damages attached.

⚠ Potential FCRA Violation
🚗

Uber or Lyft Deactivation

Rideshare platforms use third-party screeners and run continuous checks. If you were deactivated based on inaccurate data, you have federal rights.

⚠ Potential FCRA Violation
🛵

Gig Platform Removal

DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon Flex — gig companies must follow the same federal rules as traditional employers. Wrongful deactivations are actionable.

⚠ Potential FCRA Violation
📬

No Adverse Action Notice

Before an employer denies you based on a background check, they must give you written notice and a chance to dispute. Many skip this — that's a violation.

Bankruptcy Showing on Report

Discharged debts or dismissed cases reappearing on background checks are among the most common FCRA violations we pursue for our clients.

Gig Economy Claims
Deactivated without warning?

Rideshare and delivery platforms run background checks through third-party vendors like Checkr. Those vendors make mistakes — wrong names, outdated records, misattributed offenses. And the platforms often skip the pre-adverse action notice they're legally required to give you.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, gig platforms must follow the same rules as traditional employers. Millions of drivers and couriers are wrongfully deactivated every year. We fight back on their behalf.

"A consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates." — 15 U.S.C. § 1681e(b)

Does it cost anything to hire you?
+
No. FCRA cases are taken on a contingency fee basis — we only get paid when you win. If we prevail, the defendant (the employer or background check company) is required by federal law to pay your attorneys' fees. You pay nothing out of pocket, ever.
What if I don't know what's on my background check?
+
That's exactly where we start. We can obtain your background check report and review it in full for errors, outdated entries, misattributed records, and procedural violations. Most clients don't know what triggered the denial until we pull the actual report.
I was deactivated from Uber months ago — is it too late?
+
The FCRA statute of limitations is generally two years from when you knew or should have known about the violation, or five years from when it occurred. Contact us promptly — but don't assume you've missed your window without speaking to an attorney first.
What damages can I recover under the FCRA?
+
Under the FCRA, you may be entitled to actual damages (including lost wages and emotional distress), statutory damages up to $1,000 per willful violation, punitive damages in egregious cases, and attorneys' fees and costs. Every case is different — we'll give you an honest assessment during your free review.
Do I need to be in Florida, Illinois, or Georgia?
+
Not necessarily. The FCRA is a federal law, and federal claims can often be filed regardless of your state. Reach out and we'll let you know whether we can represent you directly or refer you to a qualified attorney in your state.
What is the adverse action process and why does it matter?
+
Under the FCRA, before an employer or platform can take adverse action (like denying a job or deactivating an account) based on a consumer report, they must provide a pre-adverse action notice, a copy of the report, and a summary of your rights. Many companies skip these steps entirely — which is a federal violation regardless of whether the underlying report was accurate.
