Why You Should Attend This Track

In the post-Ramirez FCRA landscape, attorneys across the country are facing trends where once solid cases are now questionable and once outlier judicial decisions are now becoming mainstream. Knowing which cases to take, which cases to settle quickly, which cases to push to trial, and which case are not worth taking in today’s environment is crucial to running a successful FCRA practice and creating a better landscape for the community.

Evidence is one of the important elements you need to make the decision on case value and the extent to which you litigate the case. This year’s FCRA track will focus on helping you obtain the evidence needed to build a winning case.

What You Will Learn

  • How to obtain evidence to prove negligent or willful violations under the FCRA
  • How to prove your case and convince a judge there is a connection between the damages and the violations
  • How to conduct a practical evaluation of the value of a case as an “A,” “B” or “C” case
