About Cary

Cary Flitter is a highly respected expert in consumer law. Many of his cases have broken new ground, helping to shape the law itself and set the precedent for future decisions. Media outlets ranging from Time magazine to FOX News have sought Cary’s legal input.

Cary is founding partner in Flitter Milz P.C., and a member of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey bars. He has more than 30 years of trial experience in federal and state courts, in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and in courts throughout the United States.

Cary has built his practice around litigating cases on behalf of consumers against debt collectors, banks and finance companies, insurance companies, car dealers and credit reporting agencies. He represents clients as individuals and in class actions, in consumer lending, unfair debt collection, vehicle financing and leasing overcharges, credit reporting, credit privacy, product warranty, identity theft, and other consumer cases.

Cary and the firm have brought over a dozen consumer class actions against banks and credit unions challenging their vehicle repossession practices. Some of these cases have made new law, or extended existing law, in a positive way for borrowers who have suffered a repossession in many of the 50 states.

A Philadelphia native and graduate from Philadelphia’s distinguished Central High School (231), Mr. Flitter received his bachelor’s degree in Finance from Philadelphia University and his law degree from the Delaware Law School of Widener University. He is a graduate of the National Institute of Trial Advocacy and the renowned Trial Lawyers College.

Currently, Cary serves on the adjunct faculty at Temple University's James E. Beasley School of Law and Delaware Law School of Widener University where he teaches Consumer Law & Litigation, including class action practice. From 1991 to 1999, he served on the adjunct faculty at Philadelphia University’s School of Business, teaching Commercial Law. Cary has accepted invitations to guest lecture on consumer law issues at Harvard Law School, University of Pennsylvania School of Law, and many other venues. Cary has been invited by the Federal Trade Commission to participate in its fact-gathering, and presented the consumers' interests in regulation of debt collectors.

Cary is a contributing author to Pennsylvania Consumer Law, the leading legal treatise in Pennsylvania on consumer law issues, and Consumer Class Actions published by the National Consumer Law Center in Boston. He has also published articles in national, regional and local publications, and presented continuing education programs on consumer credit protection for lawyer and lay audiences.

Cary has served on the Board of Directors of the Montgomery Bar Association, and has co-chaired the Bar Association’s Federal Courts Committee regularly since 2000.
