Anna C. Haac

Anna C. Haac founded Haac Law LLC after working for a decade at a boutique plaintiffs' law firm in Washington, D.C., where she focused her practice on consumer protection class actions and whistleblower litigation. Ms. Haac has represented consumers in a wide range of practice areas, including product liability, false labeling, deceptive and unfair trade practices, and predatory financial practices. Her whistleblower practice involves claims for fraud on federal and state governments across an equally broad spectrum of industries, including health care fraud, customs fraud, and government contracting fraud. Her prior experience at Covington & Burling LLP, one of the nation’s most prestigious defense-side law firms, gives her a unique advantage when representing plaintiffs against large companies in complex cases.

Ms. Haac has helped secure multimillion dollar relief on behalf of the classes and whistleblowers she represents. She is also an active member of the consumer protection bar. Ms. Haac serves as the D.C. Co-Chair of the National Association of Consumer Advocates and was formally Co-Chair of the Antitrust and Consumer Law Section Steering Committee of the D.C. Bar.

Ms. Haac earned her law degree cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School in 2006 and went on to clerk for the Honorable Catherine C. Blake of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Prior to law school, Ms. Haac graduated with a B.A. in political science with highest distinction from the Honors Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She thus considers herself lucky to have two top NCAA athletic programs to root for.

When not practicing law, she enjoys traveling, spending time with her friends and family, and participating in outdoor adventure activities.

“Anna Haac is an extraordinary attorney. She’s a powerhouse intellect, who brings insight and thoughtful analysis to every case in which she’s involved. And she’s easy to work with, kind and funny and warm in a way that you often don’t see among such a super smart lawyer.” —Paul Bland, renowned litigator and former Public Justice Executive Director
