Note, that while I do consult for class action lawyers and companies, none of my clients see my research, blog posts, FTC complaints or other output before it is published. Likewise, my clients do not get to pick which firms and practices I write about, praise or criticize. Other then general support from my university and now OSF, my blog posts, academic research papers and FTC complaints are uncompensated. Furthermore, in the one case thus far where my research and advocacy led to a class action lawsuit (against Dropbox) filed by a firm that I was subsequently retained by, I had not communicated with the class action firm or their associates at all prior to the publication of my FTC complaint. The firm reached out to me after reading about my FTC complaint in the press.
