The Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles was formed in 1949 when a few plaintiffs' attorneys got together to share information about the problems they were having and to exchange various tips and strategies with one another.

For over 50 years, the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles and its member attorneys have pursued the rights of injured victims by promoting safer products, workers' rights, access to quality health care, and eliminating discrimination in the workplace. Through education and training, CAALA lawyers subscribe to the highest standards of quality legal representation and ethical conduct. As lawyers who solely represent the interests of consumers, CAALA is a powerful advocate for victims' rights and equal access to justice.
