Homes reduced to ash, businesses disrupted, jobs lost — the aftermath of the recent Los Angeles wildfires have left survivors with a complex web of emotional and financial hardships.
Like the 2023 wildfires in Maui, lawyers and law firms — many from out of state — have descended on the area even as the Pacific Palisades and Altadena neighborhoods were still smoldering. While lawsuits against public utility companies like Southern California Edison may result in monetary recoveries that will ultimately help survivors rebuild, choosing the right legal representation is paramount.
At Galiher DeRobertis & Waxman our attorneys and staff were directly impacted by the devastating Lahaina fires of 2023. We’ve learned so much from personal experiences, as well as representing survivors in litigation and watching the good and bad practices of other law firms.
