You Are More Than a Case Number To Us

Families First

Big tech companies built their platforms to keep kids scrolling, and families are paying the price. At Lanier Junell McBride, PPLC, we hold those companies accountable and fight to make sure the compensation goes where it belongs: to you and your child. We're upfront about fees and costs from day one.

We never lose sight of what this is really about. Behind every case is a young person struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or self-harm, and a family trying to help them heal. We treat every client like our own family.

Your family's recovery comes first. With years of combined experience, we've learned that focused attention wins cases. 

For years, social media companies have marketed platforms as tools for connection, entertainment, and self-expression. The lawsuits now pending across the country allege a very different reality: that some of the world's largest technology companies intentionally designed their platforms to maximize engagement, increase screen time, and keep children and teenagers coming back, despite knowing those design features could contribute to serious mental health harms.

The litigation targets some of the largest social media companies in the world, including Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram), Google's YouTube, ByteDance's TikTok, and Snap Inc.'s Snapchat. Plaintiffs allege these companies developed and deployed features such as infinite scrolling, algorithmic recommendations, autoplay videos, push notifications, likes, filters, and other engagement tools designed to increase user dependency and platform usage, particularly among minors.
