Experience With DTv: Extensively examined the law and defenses, as well as counterclaims under state (Ohio) law. $200.00 per Hour
Additional Comments: Affected consumers need to sue/countersue Directv and its collection agencies for state and federal law violations; it is not enough to simply defend these case; until they sustain some damage awards, the intimidation tactics will not stop |

Jonathan J. Sobel, Esquire (Mate89@aol.com)
Our firm is representing individuals who have received letters and those who have already been sued by Directv in Federal Court. We have approximately five active cases in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, 1 in the Western District of Pennsylvania, approximately 10 in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
We are charging a flat fee retainer of $1,500.00. This should cover the entire case through Motions for Summary Judgment. If the matter proceeds to trial, we may charge an additional $500.00; however, it is unlikely any of these cases will go to trial. They should be disposed of by a Judge on a Motion. |

Experience with DTv: I have been involved with 6+ defendants in civil cases filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. I've filed Motions to Dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) (failure to state a claim) in two cases and a Motion to Set Aside Default and Default Judgment in the third.
Rates: Our hourly rate is $150.00 per hour. I have been responding to Directv letters for a flat rate of $150.00 and we are taking the cases that are filed in Court in the Pittsburgh District for a rate of $1,500.00 for services through pre-trial motions (a motion to dismiss and a motion for summary judgment) where we believe that most of these cases will be resolved. Please note that all of my cases are end-user cases where the sole allegation is purchase of the devices.
