Ian guides clients through consumer reporting litigation by anchoring strategy in the facts—from dispute handling to reinvestigations—to control risk from day one.
More About Ian
The consumer financial services and information reporting industries face a fast-moving regulatory and litigation environment under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and related state laws, often driven by high‑volume disputes and fast‑moving class and individual litigation. Ian helps clients respond by grounding each case in how reporting and reinvestigation actually work, not just what the statute requires.
Ian tailors his approach to each client’s operations and litigation history, especially in consumer reporting matters where dispute and reinvestigation processes can vary widely. That includes getting into the details early, reviewing key records and procedures, and building a defense that reflects the actual workflow behind the case.
Ian guides clients across all phases of consumer reporting litigation, with a focus on Fair Credit Reporting Act disputes, reinvestigation claims, and related state law analogues. He leads dispositive motion practice aimed at narrowing claims or resolving cases where the evidence does not support the theories advanced. In addition, Ian helps drive settlement strategy and negotiations with opposing counsel, particularly in matters where demands tend to escalate as litigation progresses.
With each client, Ian prioritizes efficiency and clear communication at every stage of the matter.
