Giving the Support You Need, When You Need It
We are deeply sorry for the loss you have experienced due to the recent Los Angeles wildfires. Navigating the aftermath of a disaster can feel overwhelming. Our team understands the emotional and financial toll these devastating fires have caused, and we are here to help. Attorney Bryan Harrison of our team lost his own home in Altadena and is passionate in helping his community through this time. Our team of experienced trial attorneys is dedicated to fighting for property and business owners impacted by the Los Angeles Wildfires. We have represented and/or currently represent clients in the Paradise, Woolsey, Malibu, Lahaina, and Eaton fires.
No Recovery, No Fee Guarantee
Our commitment to LA wildfire victims is simple: you pay nothing unless we secure compensation for your losses. We cover all upfront costs and only receive payment when we successfully resolve your lawsuit. This allows you to focus on what matters most – taking care of your family and rebuilding your life.
Over $4 Billion Settlement in Lahaina Fire Case (Cumulative)
With over 100 years of collective legal experience, our wildfire litigation team is led by a former prosecutor, Edward Lear, who has tried over 300 cases. Our team understands what it takes to secure fair compensation for property owners affected by wildfires and our record speaks for itself.
Most recently, we have helped victims of the Lahaina fire settle claims for a 4 billion dollar settlement.
Here’s How We Can Help You:
When disaster strikes, insurance rarely tells the full story of your loss. Whether it’s a family home, rental property, or business affected by the January 2025 wildfires, our experienced attorneys understand that insurance payouts often fall short of true recovery costs. If you have a million-dollar property and your insurer pays only $600,000, we’ll pursue action against responsible parties for the remaining $400,000 you’re entitled to. While we don’t handle insurance lawsuits directly, our approach is comprehensive – we work alongside trusted California insurance specialists who guide you through the lawsuits process. Our wildfire litigation team specializes in pursuing lawsuits against responsible parties, including utility companies and governmental entities. We handle every case on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win. Our team advances all costs, including expert witness fees, allowing you to focus on what matters most – rebuilding your future.

Many of you may be asking yourselves…
Why do I need to hire an attorney now? Or: Do I even really need an attorney?
There are a few reasons why you should consider hiring an attorney now.
- First, it is important that you memorialize your losses in writing as soon as possible while your home and its contents are fresh in your mind as well as the emotional anguish and distress that you have suffered. An attorney can tell you exactly what you need to record.
- Second, you likely will be filing (or already have filed) an insurance claim. As mentioned above, we have an insurance expert on our team who can assist you with that process – including making sure that you avail yourself of all benefits available to you under your insurance policy.
- Third, at some point, you will need to retain an attorney to make sure that your rights are protected and that your recovery is maximized. You will be paying him or her a percentage of your recovery for those services. Don’t you want that attorney working for you from Day 1 so that you get the full value of his or her services?
Can I still get help if my insurance doesn’t cover all my losses?
Yes, absolutely. Many people find their insurance covers only part of what they lost. If you have a million-dollar property and your insurer pays only $600,000, there’s still a $400,000 gap. This is where we can help. While we don’t handle insurance claims directly, we work with trusted California insurance specialists who guide you through that process. Our main job is to go after the parties responsible for the fire – like utility companies or government agencies. This can get you money for losses that insurance won’t cover, such as emotional distress and rebuilding costs above your policy limits. We’ve helped many clients get full compensation even when their insurance fell short.
What if my insurance company already offered me money?
Be careful – insurance companies often rush to offer quick settlements right after a disaster. These first offers are usually much less than what you should get. Don’t sign anything before talking to us. Our team can look at your policy to make sure you get everything you’re owed. We can also go after other parties who may be responsible for the fire, which could pay for things insurance won’t cover – like emotional suffering, lower quality of life, and extra rebuilding costs above your policy limits.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
You pay nothing unless we win money for you. We cover all the costs of your case upfront – like expert witnesses, research, and filing fees. You only pay when we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you, and we’ll be clear about this from our first meeting. This way, you can get top legal help without spending money during this already tough time.
What should I be writing down about my losses right now?
Start keeping track of everything, even if it feels like a lot:
- Take pictures of all damage if it’s safe
- Make lists of lost items – go room by room if you can
- Save all receipts for hotels, food, clothes, and other costs while you’re away from home
- Write down all talks with insurance companies – who you spoke with, when, and what was said
- Keep a simple diary if you’re feeling stressed or upset
Our team will help you with this and can give you easy forms to fill out to make sure you’re tracking everything needed for a strong claim.
