In a class action unclaimed funds may exist, or a defendent's conduct may have made restitution to those harmed impossible. Courts have often found
the "next best use" is to direct the funds to an appropriate organization. Courts usually rely upon the parties to determine which organizations would be appropriate.
The Pro Bono Project will often be a great choice. Our volunteer attorneys make the courts and the protection of the laws accessible to the most vulnerable members of our community. We accept cases in all areas of civil law. For information contact John Hedges at (408-998-5298).
