GUIDANCE | INSURANCE | LITIGATION

We’ve been there. We can help.

Our attorneys have personally experienced the stress of evacuation and the difficulty of restoring life to normal after the Maui Fires and the San Diego Wildfires. We've been there and know what it takes to recover personally and financially.

Our Approach

We believe the best approach is local, individualized recovery assistance from insurance to litigation. We prosecute fire damage cases on an individual basis with a very personal touch.  Our attorneys will meet with you locally and in person to address insurance issues, conduct site inspections and damage analysis, or simply to answer any questions you may have along the way. We have represented clients all along the spectrum of damages, from smoke and soot cases to complex structural and agricultural loss. Our individualized approach allows us to find value for our clients and recover damages they may have forgotten or did not know they could recover. 

Insurance Assistance

We understand that you are going through a difficult time right now and want to help you get back on your feet. Filing an insurance claim can be a painful and lengthy process. That's where we come in.

We can assist you with policy questions, insurance claims, damage calculations and other questions, and provide the tools necessary to maximize your insurance recovery, including a 28 page household inventory list. 

Our attorneys have extensive experience helping clients to maximize their insurance recovery, and begin the process of rebuilding their lives. We understand that the healing process begins now and we’re here to help every step of the way.

Legal representation should meet you where you are. It should be the light in the darkness to guide you through.

Litigation: Bridging the Gap

Where insurance is insufficient to cover the damages, as is often the case after a fire, we can help bridge the gap through litigation against the parties responsible for starting the fire. Based on our investigations, thus far, we believe Maui utilities may have played a substantial role in starting the fire due to their failure to take appropriate steps in response to weather conditions.
