Felix Levine is a consumer-rights writer and the lead settlements editor at OpenClassActions.org, where he covers class action lawsuits, settlement claim deadlines, and corporate accountability. He has reviewed and summarized more than 2,500 active and proposed settlements — from data breach payouts and bank overdraft disputes to false-advertising, privacy, and product-defect cases — turning dense legal notices into plain-English eligibility checklists and step-by-step claim instructions readers can actually act on.
Every article Felix writes is sourced from primary materials: official court filings, settlement administrator websites, and companies' own press releases. He updates published guides whenever a claim deadline moves, a payout estimate changes, or a court issues a new ruling, so readers are never filing against stale information.
OpenClassActions.org is a consumer news and information site — Felix is not an attorney, and nothing here is legal advice. He encourages every reader to confirm their own eligibility and file directly on the official settlement website before a deadline passes.
