Federal Court Removal vs. Remand: Strategic Guide for Debt Collection Defense and Consumer Protection Cases
 
Here, Brian presents a comprehensive guide explaining the critical concepts of removal and remand in federal court, particularly in debt collection and consumer protection cases. Attorney Brian Parker breaks down how defendants (typically banks and debt collectors) can remove cases from state court to federal court under two main grounds: federal question jurisdiction (like FDCPA violations) or diversity of citizenship with amounts exceeding $75,000. The video uses the Booze v. Ocwen case as a practical example, showing how mortgage servicers removed a case involving improper convenience fees from state to federal court. The content provides essential strategic insights for both attorneys and consumers, including strict 30-day timing requirements for both removal and remand motions, the mandatory fee-shifting provisions under 28 USC 1447(c) for improper removals, and tactical considerations for when to assert federal claims. Parker emphasizes that while corporations prefer federal court for its structured environment, consumers can successfully navigate federal proceedings and even benefit from the black-and-white nature of federal rules, especially when seeking attorney fees for wrongful removal. Good luck.
