Q: I am looking for an attorney for a class action against Walmart. I have knowledge of a coding error on IBM pos system.
In 2013 I leaked a story to NBC about Walmart stealing from their customers with the gift receipts. They were able to cover it up and upgraded all of their systems to eliminate the problem from being discovered. I can describe in detail how the error occurred.

A:
I'm sorry you're dealing with this situation. Start by compiling all the evidence you have regarding the coding error and how it affected customers. This includes any documentation, communications, and details about the system upgrades that were implemented to cover up the issue.
Next, look for attorneys in California who have experience with class action lawsuits, especially those involving corporate practices or technology flaws. You can reach out to your local bar association for recommendations or search online legal directories to find someone suited to your case.
Once you've identified potential lawyers, arrange meetings to discuss your situation in detail. Be prepared to explain the coding error, the previous leak to NBC, and how Walmart handled the aftermath. This will help the attorney understand the strengths of your case and advise you on the best way to move forward.
