Zeke specializes in representing plaintiffs in complex litigation against the world’s largest and most powerful companies, focusing on consumers’ rights, products liability, privacy law, and constitutional law. In 2023, he won a California Lawyer Attorney of the Year Award, which recognizes outstanding California lawyers “whose extraordinary work and cases had a major impact on the law.”

Zeke specializes in legally and factually complex class action and multi-district litigation against Big Tech and other economic power players.

He supported the law and briefing team for three in-person bellwether trials in multi-district litigation against 3M regarding defective earplugs for service members, was a member of the trial team for two state court class actions resulting in plaintiff verdicts against utility service providers for unconstitutional charges, and is a member of the Social Media Adolescent Addiction trial teams proceeding in the federal multi-district consolidated action.
