Be Kind To Lawyers Day
April 14 is Be Kind To Lawyers day all around the world. The Anastopoulo Law firm compiled just a few court cases and examples of how attorneys and their hard-working staffs have made our work and personal lives safer and healthier.
Lawyers Insure Toy Safety For Tots
Safe toys for our toddlers and children have been mandated for years, but a case in 2005 brought out a previously unknown danger: magnets. Attorneys for Penny Sweet successfully sued one toy maker to make sure that toys with small magnets are safe for tots to play with.

Prohibiting Sex Discrimination Hiring Practices Against Working Mothers
Lawyers successfully sued for, and won protection for working moms who have school age children. Employers are forbidden from having different hiring policies for mothers who have children, as opposed to men who have children of a similar age.
Lawyers Have Helped Establish Global Auto Safety Standards
In 1998, attorneys helped push through an international agreement that sets out global safety regulations for wheeled vehicles, so that if you travel overseas and rent a local car, it has to be as safe as any vehicle you would drive in your own country.

Unfair Credit Card Fees
Lawyers worked for 13 years to prove that MasterCard and Visa charged credit card users unfair swipe fees. They proved the companies violated antitrust laws that enriched bank profits.
Lawyers have always fought for your right to be represented to get the compensation you’re entitled to.
