Is the government involved in the flat-panel screen price fixing case?
Why are lawyers involved in this? Why wouldn't the government be involved in it? Well, you know, as luck would have it, the government is involved as well. There are criminal prosecutions going on, grand jury going on, as we speak, about the flat-panel screens that are the subject of this price-fixing movement. On the other hand, the government is working for the government. The government isn't necessarily working for the people. They're interested in fines, perhaps, for the price fixing. We're involved in changing it for the people. And, hopefully, to get money back for the people who purchased these flat-panel screens. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the Senior Partner of Girardi/Keese. For the past forty-four years, we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

How are lawyers helping me if i am a victim of the flat-panel screen price fixing scheme?
A lot of times people don't really understand what lawyers do, and the fact of the matter is in almost all of these cases good lawyers put in thousands of hours to help the people. You don't even know we're doing it, you don't even know we're working 16 hours a day for you on the flat panel TV screen price fixing case that's going on. On the other hand, that's what we are doing. So the next time you see some ad about corporate America that says how terrible plaintiff lawyers are, think about this- there are a lot of plaintiff lawyers out there that are doing their utmost for you. And that's the truth. My name is Tom Girardi, I am the senior partner of Girardi-Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California that have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work we've done and the role that we've played.

What is the status of the flat-panel screen price fixing lawsuit?
I'd like to bring you up to date on what the status of this case is with respect to price-fixing of flat panel screens. Two things have gone on. One, the civil case is proceeding. The civil case is the case in which we represent the people who bought these screens. Almost more importantly, the government is proceeding. They're proceeding, and they've actually gotten two pleas of criminal conduct by two of the manufacturers, and we think there are more to come. With that sort of pressure on these people, sooner or later they're going to have to do the right thing. One, they're not going to do it anymore, and secondly, they're going to have to pay for the amount of overcharges that they have charged you, who bought one of these things over the last three years. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi/Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed.

How can US lattorneys take on large overseas corporations in the flat-panel price fixing scheme?
The question arises once again of how can United States attorneys be involved in litigation like this which is focused on the manufacturers of flat panel screens, all of which are basically in the Asian countries. All nine of them. And the way it works is that lawyers band together in which they can focus on the harm that is created, asking the judge to certify this class to stop the injustice of their fixing prices. And we have evidence that they've had some 50 some meetings; every single one of these manufacturers was involved in these meetings, in which the only purpose of the meetings was fixing prices to sell the product to the United States consumers. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed. I'm very proud of the work that we've done and the role we have played.

Can I get money back from the flat-panel monitor price fixing lawsuit?
The question arises, “If I bought one of these flat panel monitors, am I entitled to get any money back?” And the answer is, “We have to win the case for you.” If we do win the case for you, I think there’s a darn good chance you’re going to get money back. And if we do win this case, they’re not going to do it anymore. So those are the two things that we’re focused on in this case that is before a terrific judge, Sue Elston up in San Francisco. My name is Tom Girardi. I’m the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past forty-four years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed. I’m very proud of the work that we’ve done and the role that we’ve played.

If I purchased a flat-panel TV or monitor, am I part of the lawsuit?
You're part of the, what we call the, flat-panel anti trust case, the price fixing case fo-, for flat-panels right now. You're going to have the option sooner or later to opt out if you so desire. But the whole purpose of this is to stop it from happening in the future. That's really our main focus. And, the focus is to pay back the people that have been the victims of the price fixing of the flat-panel screens. And if you bought one then you're a victim, because they all did it. How about that?

Do I have any recourse if I bought a flat-panel TV or monitor?
You know, here's what this flat-panel case is all about. Once again, the most important part of it is the future, to stop doing it because we want to protect those people that are going to buy flat-panel screens tomorrow and hereafter. On the other hand, there is also a request to try to make them pay back the money that they took illegally by fixing prices of these flat-panel screens. And that's the money we're very hopeful, if we're successful, that we're going to get back to you. You know what, lawyers aren't all bad men. You can imagine a case like this, you didn't even know what happened to you. You're just down there, putting it on your credit card, going forward. The fact of the matter is nine manufacterers of this stuff have been meeting in a garage some place saying 'This is what we're going to charge. How about that?' My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the Senior Partner of Girardi / Keese. For the past 44 years, we have helped people in California who have been seriously harmed.

What should I do if I purchased a flat-panel TV or monitor?
The question arises as what sort of person do you put under the flat screens. And the answer is right now nothing. This case is proceeding, and you are already a part of it, and we are going see, what happens;if you are successful in the case, two things are going to happen. First, well no I am not going to do any more. That’s the most important part. Secondly, you are going to be given, perhaps the opportunity to send in receipts and to get a repayment to you for the overcharges that took place when you buy a flat panel screen. My name is Tom Girardi. I am the senior part of the “Girardi Keese”. For the past 44 years we have helped the people in California who have been seriously harmed. I am really proud of the work we have done, and the role that we have played.
