The Russo Law Firm is an American consumer and class action law firm based in Boca Raton, Florida with offices nationwide. It has played a role in consumer class action lawsuits challenging alleged deceptive advertising and marketing practices by major food and other consumer brands. The firm's founding partner is Anthony J. Russo.
Since the early 2020s, the Russo Law Firm has filed a series of proposed class action lawsuits targeting restaurant chains and packaged food manufacturers over alleged discrepancies between advertising images and the products sold to consumers. According to a CNN article in 2023, two lawyers at the firm -- James Kelly and Anthony Russo -- were "leading the charge" against fast food companies for misrepresenting food in their marketing.
In 2022, Russo filed a major class action against Burger King alleging that the fast food company's advertising falsely advertised that its Whoppers were larger than they were. In response, Burger King unsuccessfully sought to sanction the plaintiffs' lawyers. As of 2025, the case against Burger King was moving forward.
The same year, the firm represented a client suing Wendy's and McDonald's for overstating the amount of beef in burgers. The lawsuit was listed as one of the "greatest class action hits" by the Wall Street Journal in an editorial decrying class action abuse.
In 2025, the firm filed a suit against Hershey's for deceptively advertising the shape of its candy.
Other fast food companies targeted by the firm have included Taco Bell and Arby's.
