Wesley M. Griffith

Mr. Griffith is the Head of the Consumer Class Action Practice Group and Co-Chair of the Junk Fees Task Force. Before joining the partnership at Cutter Law, Mr. Griffith spent a decade working at two of the nation’s top defense firms, where he represented some of the world’s largest companies in class actions and complex litigation. Mr. Griffith is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Chicago Law School.

Mr. Griffith now uses those same skills to advocate on behalf of his consumer clients. He is dedicated to tenaciously advancing his clients’ interests through all phases of litigation, including trial and on appeal.

While Mr. Griffith’s preference is always to litigate, he also knows that being an effective advocate sometimes means settling. Mr. Griffith has been involved with dozens of significant settlements over the course of his career, including settlements valued at over $100 million, and he has defended those settlements in parallel actions and on appeal.

Mr. Griffith maintains an active pro bono practice representing clients in civil rights cases. He serves on the pro bono panels for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal and the Eastern District of California, and was recognized in 2021 for his pro bono service to the Eastern District.

Mr. Griffith is a member of the California Bar and is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Central, Eastern, Northern and Southern Districts of California, as well as the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, the U.S. Courts of Appeal for the Second, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits, and the United States Supreme Court.

When not practicing law, Mr. Griffith enjoys spending time with his children and wife and hiking in the Sierras with his dog.
