Mr. Parisi represents consumers in class action lawsuits. He also represents consumers and businesses in conflicts with their insurance carriers. His consumer class actions range from lawsuits against companies which fail to honor rebates to insurance and privacy class actions. Most of his consumer class action lawsuits arise from companies which are untruthful in their advertising. In his career, Mr. Parisi has also addressed and resolved numerous insurance issues for businesses and homeowners, such as the application of complex exclusions in directors and officers liability insurance policies, the scope of business liability insurance policies, the degree to which insurance carriers may dictate the defense strategy of their insureds, whether insurance carriers can force insureds to participate in a costly appraisal process, as well as various automobile and homeowners policy interpretation issues.
Mr. Parisi has taught attorneys about consumer class actions and insurance bad faith and is often called upon by other professionals for advice on complex issues.
