Holding Southern California Edison Accountable

LA Fire Justice

LA Fire Justice is a coalition of experienced LA wildfire lawyers, world-class fire origin and causation experts, insurance specialists, and community engagement leaders committed to seeking justice from Southern California Edison for victims of the Eaton Fire. Our LA Fire Justice legal team is led by California lawyer Doug Boxer, and lead litigator Mikal Watts*. Our lawyers are joined by CEO Chris Holden**, and consumer advocate Erin Brockovich***. Together, our team offers unparalleled expertise in wildfire litigation, public policy, and consumer protection. We invest locally by operating out of a 6,000 square foot office space with a long-term lease in Pasadena and by hiring people from Eaton fire-impacted areas for full-time engagement and outreach roles. LA Fire Justice strongly believes that no one is more qualified to support Eaton Fire recovery than those at the heart of the impacted communities. Our hands-on, people-first approach earns our clients’ trust and drives results. * Mikal Watts is licensed to practice law in Texas, Oregon, and Arkansas. ** Chris Holden is not an attorney. *** Erin Brockovich is not an attorney.
