Migliaccio & Rathod

What Migliaccio & Rathod does

Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is a Washington, D.C.-based plaintiffs' law firm (LLP) founded in 2016 that specializes exclusively in class action and collective action litigation on behalf of individuals harmed by corporate or governmental misconduct. The firm operates across ten practice areas — consumer protection, data breach and privacy, wage theft, environmental, civil rights, product liability, automotive defects, technology litigation, and tenant rights — with cases filed in federal and state courts nationwide. Its docket includes high-profile multidistrict litigation such as the Philips CPAP MDL (No. 3014), the Snowflake data breach MDL, the JUUL e-cigarette MDL, and the Neiman Marcus data breach litigation, in which the firm has served as class counsel or co-lead counsel. Since inception the firm states it has recovered more than $1 billion in settlements and verdicts for clients and has litigated hundreds of cases.

The firm's business model is a pure contingency fee structure: clients pay no upfront legal fees and the firm is compensated only as a percentage of any recovery obtained. Intake is handled through free case evaluations supported by a content-driven marketing funnel that includes a blog, investigation announcements, SEO-targeted practice pages, and dedicated intake questionnaires. The firm also markets via LinkedIn, Facebook, email newsletters, and SMS notifications. There is no subscription, retainer, or alternative fee arrangement disclosed; all revenue flows from contingency awards tied to settlement or verdict proceeds.

The firm employs approximately 10 attorneys supported by paralegals, interns, and associates, and operates from two offices (Washington D.C. headquarters and San Francisco). It is privately held, structured as a District of Columbia limited liability partnership, with no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity. Technology stack is limited to standard legal practice management systems, Google Analytics, and Meta Pixel for website traffic analysis; no proprietary software, API, AI tooling, or developer-facing products are offered. Service delivery relies on co-counsel partnerships with other plaintiffs' firms in MDL proceedings, and the firm maintains active social media presence and a careers page indicating ongoing hiring.
