About Danny Karon | Your Lovable Lawyer

In law, as in life, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. close quote

Hey there,

If you’re reading this, you probably have a legal question. You’re probably also wondering, “Who the heck is Danny Karon, and what qualifies him to have this website?”

For almost thirty-five years, I’ve represented plaintiffs and defendants in class-action and individual lawsuits, recovering over ten billion dollars for hundreds of millions of consumers and small businesses nationwide. I chaired the American Bar Association’s National Institute on Class Actions, the nation’s largest and most prominent non-partisan class-action program for lawyers, judges, and professors, wrote a column on civil justice for Law360, and I’ve published more than fifty academic works, including law-review articles, op-eds, book chapters, and my best-selling book Your Lovable Lawyer’s Guide to Legal Wellness.

I’m also passionate about training the next generation of lawyers. That’s why I teach class-action litigation at the University of Michigan Law School and The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and previously taught this course at Columbia Law School.

Now you might be asking, “OK, Danny, you clearly know your stuff. But why this website?” Because I believe there’s a bias against access to justice, where the people who need it most often get it least. My goal is to make justice accessible to people who don’t know a lawyer, can’t find one, or can’t afford one.

This website, my videos, and my book exist to give you actionable insight into common legal problems, explained in a way everyone can and needs to understand. Because in law, as in life, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
