SUMMARY:How Much is My FCRA Case Worth?
DESCRIPTION:Why You Should Attend\nThis webinar is for anyone who wants to get a better handle on how to valuate FCRA cases. We will look at the types of recovery available\, examine factors that make good (and bad) cases\, and survey FCRA verdicts with various fact patterns. You will get materials for finding and citing authorities to help justify your settlement position in your next (or first) FCRA case. Although obviously not intended as a complete how-to on FCRA litigation\, this presentation will necessarily touch on some practical litigation pointers for getting full value in your FCRA cases. \n\nPresenter\nJohn H. Goolsby is the owner of the Goolsby Law Office\, LLC\, in Minneapolis\, MN. After several years of representing consumers in many different kinds of consumer law cases\, John Goolsby began in 2007 to focus his practice almost exclusively on FCRA lawsuits. John Goolsby has been a speaker at NACA’s Fair Credit Reporting Act Conferences in Chicago in 2009 and Memphis in 2011. John Goolsby graduated cum laude from the University of Minnesota Law School in 2002 and was editor in chief of the law school’s journal Law & Inequality. He has a BA from Grinnell College\, with a music major.
