RUSSELL v. EMPOWER ADVISORY GROUP, LLC

What this case is about

The plaintiff, Russell, is suing Empower Advisory Group on behalf of a proposed class of consumers who were allegedly harmed by the company's conduct related to personal property. The lawsuit was filed under diversity jurisdiction, suggesting the parties are from different states and the amount in dispute exceeds $75,000. While specific details of the complaint are limited from the filing information available, the case involves tort claims against Empower Advisory Group, a financial advisory firm, concerning personal property. The proposed class likely consists of customers or clients who interacted with the company and suffered similar alleged harms. The case is being pursued as a class action, meaning the plaintiff believes many other individuals were affected in the same or similar way.
