Lead counsel in a class action litigation against IDT Corporation, IDT Telecom, Inc., and Union Telecard Alliance, LLC (collectively, “IDT”). The case alleged that IDT failed to inform consumers sufficiently about the applicable rates and charges for its prepaid and rechargeable calling cards, and thereby violated various state consumer protection acts and other laws. The case resulted in a settlement of up to $20 million in Refund PINs (representing free domestic telephone minutes), $2 million in charitable donations, and additional relief consisting of enhanced disclosures of calling card charges.
