The Airport Fire, which ignited on September 9, 2024, in Trabuco Canyon, has devastated communities across Orange and Riverside Counties. The fire has burned over 23,000 acres, threatening thousands of homes, businesses, and lives, with containment efforts still ongoing.
If you or your loved ones have been impacted by the Airport Fire, our law firm is here to help you seek justice and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Members of our team have been appointed to leadership positions by Courts across California for every major wildfire litigation in the past decade.

You will almost certainly find that you will not be reimbursed for the total cost to rebuild, the total cost for your damaged trees, crops, farms and vegetation, the hours you have spent to restore and tend to fire related issues, cherished family possessions, any personal injuries, and the annoyance and discomfort you have gone through. These damages can be pursued through legal action. Our attorneys file separate claims on behalf of each individual, business, ranch, winery, homeowner, and renter. We never file class actions for wildfire cases because each case is particularly unique and needs to be treated separately.
Our team of skilled attorneys have facilitated hundreds of millions of dollars in recoveries for wildfire survivors. We have represented more than 2,500 individuals and businesses that were impacted by various fires, including the North Bay Fires, Thomas Fire, Camp Fire, Woolsey Fire, Kincade Fire, Slater Fire, Zogg Fire, Mountain View Fire and, more recently, the Mill and McKinney Fires.
We are lawyers that aggressively and successfully pursue compensation for our clients and collectively our attorneys have decades of experience holding utility companies accountable.
