About Steven Weinmann

I am a litigation attorney with 30 years of experience in various areas, including consumer class actions, securities litigation, antitrust, construction defect and environmental toxic tort law.Reported decisions include Fraley v. Facebook, 830 F.Supp.2d 785 (N.D. Cal. 2011), in which the District Court overruled a motion to dismiss, ultimately leading to a $20 million settlement; Ceja v. Rudolph & Sletten, , 194 Cal.App.4th 584 (Sixth Appellate Div. 2011) affirmed, California Supreme Court, No. S 193493 (June 20, 2013), in which the Court of Appeal overturned a lower court ruling denying putative spouse status to the wife of a deceased construction worker. The California Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the test for putative spouse status is a subjective one, and disapproving a line of cases holding that the test was an objective one. I was also the primary class action attorney in several recent class actions where court-approved settlements have been achieved including Zamudio v. Carpet Pros, Inc. and Home Depot USA, Superior Court of San Francisco (wage and hour, Unfair Competition Law, Business & Professions § 17200 claims; total settlement value of $8 million); Blau v. We The People USA, Inc, et al, Alameda Superior Court, UCL and Consumer Legal Remedies Act, Civil Code § 1750 et seq. claims; $5 million settlement value); Carducci v. Wachovia Bank, Wells Fargo & Co., and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Northern District of California, (UCL, CLRA, federal Truth in Lending Act (TILA) claims, final approval granted, over $3 million in mortgage late fees to be returned, plus interest and attorney’s fees and costs of administration and injunctive relief); decision favorable to client and calling for class certification in case under California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act and Unfair Competition Law, McAdams v. Monier, Inc., 182 Cal.App.4th 174 (2010).
