The Ulzheimer Group LLC and WebRecon LLC announced today a strategic partnership to provide credit expert witnesses with information on newly filed credit-related lawsuits using WebRecon's consumer litigant database.
The proprietary database enables access to class actions and other consumer claims involving Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) alleged violations.
The alliance will give The Ulzheimer Group's stable of credit expert witnesses an ability to proactively offer their expert witness services to the law firms and the attorneys engaged in consumer credit litigation - well in advance of the timeframe during which expert witness reports are usually exchanged. Having an expert witness engaged earlier in the process enables better discovery and added preparation for both sides of the litigation.
According to WebRecon CEO Jack Gordon, "The number of consumer credit related lawsuits is growing each year. The attorneys involved in these cases frequently find themselves in need of a good credit expert and there simply aren't many good ones on the market."
"Every case deserves to have a credit expert witness who truly understands credit reporting, credit scoring, credit damages, and credit law" adds John Ulzheimer, CEO of The Ulzheimer Group, and an 18-year veteran of the consumer credit industry. "Access to WebRecon's database gives us the ability to quickly identify the law firms and the attorneys who are filing suit or defending credit industry players such as collection agencies, debt buyers, credit bureaus and lenders."
The Ulzheimer Group provides training to enable their credit exert witnesses to leverage their knowledge for the best service of attorneys.
"Anyone can read a few credit books and post an advertisement on some expert witness clearinghouse website," says Ulzheimer. "That doesn't make you an expert in credit and that's not a commitment to the service of our industry. Our partnership with WebRecon allows us to pair our industry experts with attorneys with sufficient lead time to do our job right rather than do it fast."
