Encino Deceptive Advertising Lawyer

Overview

Mark Pifko has made a name for himself as a staunch advocate for consumers' rights.

Since joining Baron and Budd's Los Angeles office in 2011, Pifko has taken on powerful corporations on cases involving false advertising, fraud and scientific and technical disputes. Pifko's practice is focused on representing plaintiffs in complex class action matters.

His experience on both sides of the courtroom encompasses more than 50 class action lawsuits and other matters concerning consumer goods, food products, dietary supplements, vehicles and software. Pifko has been involved in a class action against McDonald's regarding violations of California's gift card laws. Pifko also worked on matters concerning Harley Davidson Motor Company and alleged motorcycle defects.

And Pifko has also represented employees who were denied wages and benefits owed under the California Labor Code. Pifko helped settle the $1.5 million case against San Francisco-based Bare Escentuals, who failed to provide workers with breaks and wages.

Pifko has represented clients in state and federal courts across California and in the California Courts of Appeal. Mark also has represented clients throughout the country in multidistrict litigation proceedings.

In addition to his work in the courtroom, Pifko is a talented writer who has been published in several magazines on class action law and consumer advocacy.
