Strong, Compassionate Leadership Athea Trial Lawyers continued to have a huge impact on the national legal landscape. In 2023, the firm secured justice for the family of an internationally renowned women’s rights leader. The partners discuss how their upcoming trials in the areas of wrongful death, elder neglect and sexual abuse can make systemic and societal change.
A
thea Trial Lawyers continues to strengthen their reputation as one of the leading civil litigation firms in the U.S. The firm was formed only three years ago by six trailblazing lawyers from across the country—Charla Aldous, Randi McGinn, Bibi Fell, Lisa Blue, Zoe Littlepage and Deborah Chang. Headquartered in Southern California, the partners concurrently lead their own firms and also unite to operate Athea Trial Lawyers. Together, their ability to resolve complex,
and creativity, we can learn from each other and accomplish so much together.” The firm started 2023 with a very important favorable verdict on behalf of the family and husband of a globally renowned activist. Esther Nakajjigo, Uganda’s Ambassador for Women and Girls, was killed while exiting Arches National Park in Utah in June 2020. Justice was finally achieved in January 2023, following a five-day trial in December of 2022 in the District of Utah where McGinn, Chang and Littlepage secured a $10.5 million

verdict that will be allocated to Nakajjigo’s husband and family in Uganda. “Esther’s life and contributions to society are an inspiration for all of us,” McGinn says of the verdict, which is the largest wrongful death verdict issued by a federal court judge in Utah history. “Taking on a government agency is incredibly challenging, and proving damages for someone so young who lived most of her life in Uganda was even tougher,” Littlepage added.” It was extremely vindicating for our clients—
and our firm—when the U.S. government admitted fault and apologized for Esther’s death. The entire world, including Uganda, was watching this trial and especially Judge Bruce Jenkins’ decision.”
New Legal Challenges in 2024
The need for strong advocacy will continue into 2024, as Athea Trial Lawyers has several cases pending in the areas of wrongful death and sexual abuse. “People from all walks of life have been harmed due to the negligence and recklessness of others,” says Aldous. “Many of the injustices our clients have suffered were largely, if not entirely, preventable.” “Though many of our cases are vastly different, they are all reflective of behavioral patterns and systemic problems in our society that are harming and killing people,” says Blue. “Our mission is to correct these issues and put a stop to them and prevent future harm to others.” With each resolution, the firm seeks to help deserving clients and to make the world a better and safer place. “Our firm is creative and effective in and out of the courtroom, and we are proud of our proven ability to connect with juries that clearly resonate,” Fell says. “We are proud to be known as an alliance of formidable trial lawyers who can achieve so much together while cultivating the next generation of women leaders.”

FRANTZ LAW GROUP (FLG) continued its 44-plus year tradition of excellence in 2023 by securing justice and obtaining historic and landmark jury verdicts and settlements in several mass tort actions, catastrophic injury claims and wrongful death matters.1
Porter Ranch Gas Blowout Litigation – $1.8 Billion Settlement
FLG has been honored to represent more than 8,000 individual residents of the northern Los Angeles community of Porter Ranch who were injured as a result of the largest methane gas leak in United States history. The claims of negligence and misconduct were against Southern California Gas Company and Sempra Energy, stemming from a 2015 gas well blowout at the defendants’ Porter Ranch natural gas storage facility. FLG proudly served on the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee that resolved the entire lawsuit for $1.8 billion in 2023. The leak discharged more than 100,000 pounds of methane gas per hour, and residents suf fered from a range of acute health issues, including nausea, headaches and respirator y problems. Initially, the disaster was so dire that schools in the area closed, and thousands of residents were displaced— some for as long as six months—by order of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Some of the gas wells are at least 80 years old and were very poorly maintained by the public utility defendants.
FLG Founder James P. Frantz said of the resolution, “This was a long and hard-fought battle against negligent public utilities. This settlement underscored the need for stricter regulatory oversight as well as greatly enhanced safety procedures and protocols to ensure the effective and safe administration of public utility services. If swift and appropriate safety measures are taken, the frequency and magnitude of future gas leaks will be reduced.”
Roadway and Trucking Safety
In Stockton, California, after a fiveweek jury trial (on September 11, 2023), the firm won the largest jury verdict involving a wrongful death/tractor-trailer crash in the history of the San Joaquin County Superior Court. The jury verdict was approximately five times the previous highest verdict of a similar-natured case. A silage truck driven by an unqualified commercial truck driver ran out of fuel on California SR-99 at night after ignoring multiple warning systems on the truck that informed the defendant driver he was running out of fuel. As the truck ran out of fuel, he was unable to completely pull the truck safely into the emergency shoulder and left the truck partially blocking the right side of the northbound lane. In an effort to shield themselves from liability for causing FLG’s client’s husband’s death, the defendants attempted to cover up their failure to use a roadway warning device, as required by state law, and to warn oncoming traffic of the stalled truck. FLG’s commercial trucking litigation practice includes hundreds of millions
of dollars in verdicts and settlements involving various types of commercial vehicle crashes—from tractor-trailers and tankers to dump trucks and 18-wheelers. “FLG collaborates with prominent medical and accident reconstruction exp er t s , economis t s and foren sic engineering exper ts that enable the firm to fully prepare the best arguments to prove liability and damages and win at trial,” Frantz noted. “This is the core asset as to why our trucking practice, as well as all aspects of our trial practice, continually achieve top jury verdicts and settlements.” FLG is one of a select group of law firms that utilizes mock trials and focus groups to assist in predicting trial outcomes and anticipate how jurors may evaluate a case.
JUUL/Altria Vaping Litigation: Justice for School Districts, Tribes and Individuals
FLG (with co-counsel) proudly secured four separate signif icant monetar y settlements against JUUL Labs, Inc., its officers and directors, as well as Altria following historic vaping litigation. Together, these settlements will significantly mitigate the student public health crisis in the U.S. caused by youth vaping. F o r t h e p a s t t h re e yea r s , F LG represented more than 900 school districts (65,000 schools with more than two million enrolled students), charter schools, counties and cities nationwide in 38 states with respect to the JUUL/ Altria anti-vaping litigation. The resolution includes monetary damages against the

defendants for targeting minors (and adults) with alleged false advertising claims leading to serious physical injury and severe nicotine addiction. These school district damages and additional costs include installing vape detection systems and video surveillance to monitor and mitigate vaping on campuses and achieve funding that is vital for producing and disseminating anti-vaping education.
Social Media Litigation – Leading the Nationwide Effort To Protect Students
FLG is representing more than 800 school districts, counties and cities nationwide in lawsuits filed in Federal District Court in San Francisco and in State Court in Los Angeles against Meta, TikTok, Snap and Google. The public entity plaintiffs allege that these companies knowingly cause severe emotional harm to children through their addictive platforms, leading to suicides, suicidal ideation, self-harm and interference with the education environment. Data demonstrates that social media platforms contribute to increased proportions of anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-harm, body dissatisfaction, eating disorders and low self-esteem among children. “Minors are often subjected to harmful, exploitative and addictive content that encourages disorderly behavior, sexual abuse, unhealthy social comparison and cyberbullying,” Frantz noted. “This litigation seeks to provide the funding and staffing resources needed to assist students by providing counseling and medical care necessar y to mitigate
and curb the harms caused by these platforms,” he said.
Wildfire Litigation
FLG has been litigating claims for more than 6,500 victims filed against various public entities, utilities and private companies who the firm alleges are responsible for causing more than 20 wildfires that occurred in Northern and Southern California over the last six years. Over the past three years, FLG has achieved more than $1 billion in fire victim settlements. Recently, Maui was devastated when multiple fires broke out on August 8, 2023, both in the Upcountry and in Lahaina. More than 2,300 residential structures and businesses were lost, and at least 98 people are feared dead. All of the fires are alleged to have been caused by Hawaii Electric and associated private and public entities. FLG was invited by prominent Hawai’i law firm Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner to join their efforts to ensure that Maui residents are properly represented and compensated for their losses. FLG is honored to have the opportunity to utilize its decades of experience in holding public utilities and other negligent actors accountable for the devastation caused by fires. The horrific fires that decimated significant portions of Maui appear to have been entirely preventable. FLG and Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner are committed to seeking justice for the victims of these fires and holding all negligent parties accountable for the significant harm caused to the communities.
A Proud Reputation for Excellence
FLG has been honored with countless accolades over the past four decades, including being named a Tier 1 law firm by Best Law Firms® from 2010-2024 in Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions for Plaintiffs. James Frantz is a Fellow and Associate of the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), is AV® Rated by Martindale-Hubbell®, and for the past 15 years has been a Master in the William B. Enright Chapter of The American Inns of Court. Since 1981, Mr. Frantz has been an arbitrator in the SDCBA Fee Dispute Arbitration Program. He was appointed as Special Master by the State Bar of California more than 20 years ago, whereby he continues to supervise federal and state law enforcement officers in evidence seizure with respect to alleged white-collar criminal fraud matters. Mr. Frantz has also been appointed as a Delegate to the State Bar of California. Frantz noted that he is especially proud of FLG’s staf f and at torneys’ superior and exemplary work ethic and resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges amid high-stakes litigation. “Catastrophes unfortunately continue to strike communities. Innocent victims and their families have depended on FLG for more than 44 years to be their legal champions for justice,” he said. “We have successfully beaten down the most wellfunded defendants in the fight for justice, accountability and safety changes for the community.”

Easton & Easton Let Our Family Help Yours By Justin Smulison
E
A S T O N & E A S T O N cont i nued to be the go-to trial law firm for injury and wrongful death claims in Orange County and Southern California in 2023. The firm was founded by renowned 50-year trial veteran Doug Easton and is now led by his sons, partners Brian, Matt and Travis Easton. The Eastons have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of injured victims and their families over their four-decade journey, which continues stronger than ever, with more than $60 million secured last year alone for plaintiffs in Orange County.
PHOTO BY DAVID HARTIG
High-Value Results in 2022 and 2023 Co-managing partner Matthew Easton noted that 2022 and 2023 marked significant high points for the f irm, which resolved several cases that stemmed from injuries occurring severa l yea rs ago. Th is i ncluded secu ri ng the full policy limits—$26 million—for a day laborer who nearly lost his arm in an elevator accident due to improper training and unsafe construction site conditions. “Our client will suffer from complex regional pain syndrome for the rest of his life because of a preventable and horrif ic injury,” Matt Easton said. “He was the primary breadwinner of a family striving for the American dream, which was shattered by this accident. But he a nd his fa mily now have the resources for rehabilitation and specialized dependent care they need to continue seeking that dream as best they can.” In another captivating case, Easton & Easton acqu i red $7 m i l l ion i n 2022 from severa l defend a nts for t hei r cl ient who su f fered
a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after she fell more than two stories in her school’s newly constructed auditorium. The case was extremely complex due to the client’s conduct in being intoxicated and accessing the roof without permission. Many notable peer law firms in Los Angeles passed on the case, believing it was not winnable for those reasons. But Easton & Easton tapped into the creative legal strategies on which they have built their reputation to develop an effective argument. “After five years and more than 20 depositions, we ex posed how t he school a nd va r iou s const r uct ion defend a nts h ad v iol ated nu merou s bu i ld i ng codes, wh ich i nclude i n s t a l l i n g t h e ut i l it y ro om c a rd re a d e r backward,” Co-managing partner Brian Easton said. “If the defendants had remedied just one of t he obv ious v iolations beforeha nd, ou r client would never have been able to access the auditorium roof, and this entire tragedy would have been avoided.”
New a nd Upcom i n g Cat a st roph ic Injury Claims The ability to demonstrate where and how well-funded entities are accountable continues to set Ea ston & Ea ston apa r t f rom ot her firms who seek quick settlements. The firm continues this tradition of excellence in recent plaintiff claims, which include: • A bicyclist who lost his leg after being hit by a semi-truck that claims he was not properly riding in the bike lane. • A county construction driver whose defective dump truck rolled down an embankment,
causing him to become a paraplegic. • A w rong f u l deat h act ion aga i nst publ ic municipalities for the death of a motorcyclist du e to t he d a n ge rou s p os it ion i n g of a homeless encampment near the I-5 freeway. “M a n y o f o u r c a s e s i n v o l v e s h o c k i n g , catastrophic and fatal injuries,” partner Travis Easton noted. “We are aggressively litigating aga inst the negligent a nd reck less pa rties and intend to hold them responsible and are preparing for the long haul, just as we did with our big wins from recent years.” Given t he rem a rk able resu lt s t hey h ave achieved for their clients, it is no surprise that Easton & Easton has received a Tier 1 ranking in Orange County for Personal Injury Litigation— Plaintiffs from Best Law Firms® each of the past five years, most recently for 2024. All four of the firm’s name partners have been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America ® for 2024 for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs. The firm’s knowledge of the law is complemented by a strong bank of rising stars such as talented associates Ma n i Navab, Gabriel Mendoza, Brenda Kocaj and Steven Dominguez, all of whom were named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch ® in America in the 2024 list for Personal Injury Litigation—Plaintiffs. “ O u r f i r m ’s f a m i l i a l a t m o s p h e r e i s strengthened by our lawyers and staff, who bring varied perspectives to each case,” said founding partner Doug Easton. “Clients often com ment on the ease they feel upon their initial meeting with us. That is the greatest compliment because we know trust can be in short supply and their trust is sacred.”

Southern California Edison Facing Negligence Claims Over Wildfires By Gregory Sirico
10 |
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
2020, engulfed and completely burned nearly 116,000 acres of land or an area approximately equal to the size of Denver, CO. According to federal authorities who surveyed the damages, about 99,000 of that acreage was within the Angeles National Forest system. Additionally, the strength of the Bobcat blaze destroyed 87 privately owned residences, 83 commercial structures and 178 vehicles. With that, 28 homes incurred significant damages, and at least six local firefighters sustained injuries while trying to combat the flames. Reggie Kumar, a spokesman for Southern California Edison, recently said the company is in the process of extensively reviewing the lawsuit and remained adamant that it would be inappropriate to further discuss the case outside of the court process. “Our thoughts remain with the people who were affected by the Bobcat fire, who lost homes and vehicles and were evacuated,” stated Kumar, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. “The public has been prevented from recreating on the more than 100 miles of popular system trails and in numerous campgrounds within the burn area in the nearly three years following the fire. The fire effects have been, and will be, detrimental to habitats and wildlife, including the federally endangered mountain yellow-legged frog and other federally threatened fish and birds,” concluded the complaint.

N SEPTEMBER, the federal government filed a hefty lawsuit against Southern California Edison, the largest subsidiary of the electric utility company Edison International. According to the claims, the government openly accuses Southern California Edison and its contractor of failing to adequately maintain trees and brush that made direct contact with power lines, sparking the 2020 Bobcat wildfire, which still stands as one of the largest wildfires ever to hit Los Angeles County. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court against Southern California’s primary electricity utilities provider, seeks over $121 million in monetary damages, covering the cost of quelling the flames and the damages sustained to private property and the overall depletion of natural resources. This lawsuit arrived only a few months after Southern California Edison was hit with negligence and public nuisance claims by the California Superior Court in connection to the 2018 Woolsey wildfire. “Forest Service investigators determined that the Bobcat fire ignited due to a tree in contact with power lines conductors owned and operated by Southern California Edison and maintained by SCE and Utility Tree Service. The contact resulted in the ignition of vegetation on a branch, which fell to the ground and spread,” the recently submitted legal complaint states. The Bobcat fire, which started raging in September of
Justice for Maui
The wildfires that devastated Maui in August 2023 rank as the fifth deadliest wildfire in the nation. Renowned wildfire litigator James P. Frantz understood what the victims had endured and quickly led Frantz Law Group’s efforts to join forces with the prominent Honolulu firm Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner to provide much-needed resources for those harmed. BY JUSTIN SMULISON
Photographer: David Hartig
THE
HAWAIIAN ISLAND OF MAUI is special for many reasons—from its rich, alluring culture to its picturesque beaches, which evoke images of ideal living. But, on August 8, 2023, a series of wildfires erupted in Lahaina, Olinda and Kula, with the Lahaina fire burning 2,170 acres before it was finally contained in early September. By October 7, 98 people were confirmed dead, making the Maui wildfire the fifth deadliest wildfire in U.S. history. With so many lives, livelihoods and the economic future of the island hanging in the balance, Frantz Law Group (“FLG”) Founder James P. Frantz was invited to join the efforts of Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner, a preeminent injury trial firm based in Honolulu, which Best Law Firms® 2024 has ranked as Tier 1 in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs, to deliver justice for the victims and help start the recovery process. Together, both firms established an on-the-ground resource center that provided fire victims with assistance in completing insurance claim forms and FEMA applications, as well as complimentary charging stations for those who needed to use their electronic devices to communicate with loved ones. “I’ve seen how such destruction can leave victims with nothing in an instant,” says Frantz,
who’s obtained seven-, eight-, nine- and 10-figure jury verdicts and settlements for his clients during his distinguished career. “Victims need to know they are not alone, and we are here to step up.” “We are proud to provide victims and residents with peace of mind,” says Frantz. “And in the long-term, they will know that—should they need representation—they can turn to strong, reliable trial lawyers to secure justice,” the Fellow and Associate of the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates says. Named a Tier 1 firm in San Diego by Best Law Firms® since 2010 for Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions – Plaintiffs, FLG was instrumental in achieving a $13.5 billion settlement (with cocounsel) against Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) on behalf of thousands of victims harmed by PG&E’s negligent maintenance and inspection of its utility equipment in the 2017/2018 Northern California wildfires (FLG represented more than 4,400 of these fire victims). Additionally, the firm represents thousands of victims in actions against PG&E, Southern California Edison, Liberty Utilities and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for losses arising from 10 more wildfires, including the Woolsey/Thomas Fire; the 2019 Getty, Kincade and Saddleridge fires; the 2020 Mountain View, Slater and Bobcat fires; the 2021 Dixie Fire; and
the 2022 Mill Fire—all caused by the negligence and recklessness of corporate entities. Initial estimates indicate that the Maui wildfires caused more than $6 billion in damages. While the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is investigating the fires’ cause, some officials have indicated that Maui’s drought-parched landscapes and strong winds may have played a role, while videos and reports from those on the scene indicate that downed Hawaiian Electric (HE) power lines may have started the blaze. Should the ATF conclude that HE, another utility operator or property owner did not take proper precautions to prevent the cause or spread of the fires, clients can take solace in knowing they have lawyers in their corner with extensive experience litigating and negotiating effectively for their fire claims. “We know we can never make a family that has suffered such enormous losses entirely whole again, but we will go to every length to secure justice,” says Frantz. “We are honored to facilitate the healing and rebuilding process of Maui and the lives of its injured residents alongside our cocounsel, Leavitt, Yamane & Soldner.” ADVERTISEMENT W W W.BE S T L AW Y E RS .C O M | 11

S
ince 1971, Robin Meadow has dedicated his professional career to legal matters surrounding the appellate practice area, arbitration, bet-the-company litigation and trusts and estates. Meadow is a partner at the firm Greines, Martin, Stein & Richland LLP, located in Los Angeles, CA. Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2006 in Appellate Practice, Meadow is currently being honored as a Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” for Appellate Practice in Los Angeles for 2024, previously being honored in 2013 and 2018 for the same practice area. Of his legal career and recent recognition, Meadow stated: “In the last few years, I’ve had several published opinions that either made new laws or provided a comprehensive survey of existing laws. Starting with Tufeld Corporation v. Beverly Hills Gateway, L.P. (2022). For the first time in a published opinion, the court explained the operation of an arcane statute, Civil Code section 718, that limits leases of city lots to 99 years. It also clarified novation principles and ruled that trial courts have equitable power to award interest on restitution awards in situations not explicitly governed by statute. As well as Friend of Camden, Inc. et al. v. Brandt (2022). This opinion resolved an important firstimpression issue arising under provisions of the California Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act that govern dissolution and winding up of LLCs. In particular, the court resolved an apparent tension between the right of members owning at least 50% of an LLC’s interests to dissolve the LLC by vote and the right of members in a dissolution suit to avoid dissolution through a buyout election. “It’s difficult to explain the appellate practice to clients, and often to trial lawyers, the extent to which the deck is stacked against an appellant. They want to reargue the facts that they feel the judge or jury got wrong, and we have to make them understand why that practically never works in the appellate courts. It’s also difficult to make trial lawyers understand why we refuse to include in our briefs their suggestions for the kind of aggressive language and incivility that unfortunately are all too common in the trial courts.” With over 50 years of legal experience under his belt, Meadow is also regarded as an expert in matters of technology when referencing appellate law. As a pioneer in the usage of electronic records and legal briefs, Meadow co-authored the first protocol for electronic briefs and filed the first-ever electronic brief in California’s Second District Court of Appeals, which has since been adopted by other appeals courts throughout the state. “From my earliest days as a litigator, I’ve always loved learning something new about the law and trying to work with the law in ways that serve my clients’ needs. Even now, after 50 years of practice, I’m still excited when a case requires me to explore an area of the law I’m not yet familiar with or presents an unusual problem in an area I already know. I consider myself extremely fortunate that cases like this still come my way. I also very much enjoy the civility and professionalism of the appellate bar. With that outstanding level of civility, whatever I’ve been able to accomplish flows from good mentoring, a lifetime of experience and teamwork.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

Athea Trial Lawyers
Civil Litigation, Catastrophic Injury, Wrongful Death, Product Liability ATHEA TRIAL LAWYERS continued the legacy of its founders in 2023 with numerous major victories on behalf of their personal injury clients. The firm was founded by renowned trial veterans Charla Aldous, Randi McGinn, Bibi Fell, Lisa Blue, Zoe Littlepage and Deborah Chang, who have blazed trails in the areas of catastrophic injury, wrongful death, sexual abuse and product liability. Individually and collectively, these legal leaders have secured several hundreds of millions of dollars in awards and settlements for personal injury victims. “We are rejuvenated each time we step into a courtroom because it is the culmination of months—and sometimes years—of preparation,” said Chang, who was named a 2022 “Lawyer of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs in Los Angeles by The Best Lawyers in America®. “Something so empowering happens in that courtroom—not only for the lawyers but also for our clients, the judge and the jurors.” Founders Aldous* and McGinn** have also been named “Lawyer of the Year” several times by The Best Lawyers in America® in various areas since 2009. Fell, Blue and Littlepage have also been praised by legal media for securing precedentsetting nine-figure resolutions and their leadership positions in the legal community. Much of the firm’s public acclaim stems from its ability to take on complex and heart-wrenching cases. This was exemplified by their advocacy on behalf of the family of a globally renowned activist. Esther Nakajjigo, Uganda’s Ambassador for Women and Girls, was killed while exiting Arches National Park in Utah in June 2020. Justice was finally achieved in January 2023, following a five-day trial in December of 2022 in the District
of Utah where McGinn, Chang and Littlepage secured a $10.5 million verdict that will be allocated to Nakajjigo’s husband and family in Uganda. The decision is the largest wrongful death verdict issued by a federal court judge in Utah history. “Representing Esther was particularly impactful since her work touched so many, and her values mirrored our own,” McGinn said. Athea Trial Lawyers is proud of their reputation for holding well-funded defendants—which have included the federal government, state parks, major cities, large corporations and healthcare systems—accountable for injuries that changed or ended their clients’ lives. Standout resolutions include verdicts exceeding $100,000,000 for a variety of cutting-edge issues. Given this record of success of results and the many highimpact civil trials on the horizon for the firm expected in 2024, it is not surprising Athea Trial Lawyers was honored to have been annually ranked Tier 1 for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs in Los Angeles since 2022 by Best Law Firms®. “We are continually humbled by the recognition and awards we have received from our peers in the legal community,” said Aldous. “Ultimately,” added Littlepage, “we draw the most satisfaction from results that help our clients heal and prevent others from suffering the same harm.” “We find that the most effective way to get things done in and out of the courtroom is to ask a busy woman trial lawyer,” said Fell. “When women find a way to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight in the courtroom and in the legal practice, amazing things happen.”
*Charla Aldous is a founder of Athea Trial Lawyers and a partner of the Dallas-based law firm of Aldous \ Walker LLP. She was recognized by Best Lawyers® as “Lawyer of the Year” in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs in 2009, 2017 and 2019 and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in 2013, 2016, 2018, 2021 and 2024. **Randi McGinn is a founder of Athea Trial Lawyers and a partner with the New Mexico firm of McGinn, Montoya, Love & Curry, PA. She was recognized by Best Lawyers® as “Lawyer of the Year” in Albuquerque, NM for Criminal Defense: General Practice in 2011, Criminal Defense: White-Collar in 2013, Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs in 2014 and 2019, Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in 2015.

Easton & Easton Scores Big Wins for Victims and Communities in 2023 Powerhouse Easton & Easton knocked it out of the park again in 2023 through dynamic courtroom results and powerful partnerships. By Justin Smulison
E
ASTON & EASTON continued to ensure the safety of its clients and communities in the greater Orange County area in 2023, thanks to their wins inside and outside the courtroom.
The firm is led by partners Brian, Matt and Travis Easton—sons of 50-year veteran trial lawyer and founding partner Doug Easton. Together, the Eastons lead a team of skilled litigators who resolved complex and highvalue cases over the past year, including the full $26 million policy limits for a day laborer who nearly lost his arm in an elevator accident due to improper training and safety conditions on a construction site, over $7 million for a college student who suffered a traumatic brain injury after falling several stories in her college auditorium and over $3 million for a partially disabled client who suffered further injury after a supermarket automatic door closed too rapidly, causing him to fall. “All of these cases were extremely complex due to the negligence of the site owners and third parties, whose poor oversight led to these unsafe conditions,” says comanaging partner Brian Easton. “Though these were uphill battles, they were not unwinnable as many of our peers believed. That we secured favorable results is a testament to our reputation for overcoming the odds in difficult, high-stakes cases.”

Indeed, the firm’s lawyers have made an undeniable impact in Southern California, having secured more than $60 million in the past 12 months alone for victims who have suffered injuries or tragedies due to defective products, construction accidents, premises liability and trucking and motor vehicle accidents. Easton & Easton has unique legal contests on the horizon, which include representing a bicyclist who lost his leg due to the negligence of a semi-truck driver, a county construction driver whose defective dump truck rolled down an embankment causing him to become a paraplegic and a wrongful death action against public municipalities for the death of a motorcyclist due to the dangerous positioning of a homeless encampment near the I-5 freeway. “We always look ahead and often take cases that others may perceive as risky,” partner Travis Easton notes. “But it is in our nature as true advocates to confront wrongdoing and improve conditions for our clients, local communities and society at large.”
Power Plays Out Of The Courtroom Easton & Easton strengthened their presence beyond legal arenas and into sports arenas via key strategic partnerships with locally based world-renowned sports franchises. Easton & Easton—whose partners are lifelong Angels fans—were thrilled to be named the Official Personal Injury Attorneys of the Angels for 2023. This partnership with the MLB team includes a weekly radio discussion with Roger Lodge on AM830 to discuss current legal events and provides legal tips and education for members of the community. Their impact is felt on the ice rink as well, as they continue to be the Official Personal Injury Attorneys of the Anaheim Ducks. This partnership with the hockey franchise and the Honda Center offered the firm the chance to further carry out its mission of protecting communities and providing safer roadways. For the second year, the Eastons are sponsoring the Designated Duck Driver Program, which rewards fans who agree to be designated drivers at Ducks home games with complimentary non-alcoholic beverages. In addition, the Eastons are in the early stages of a joint public information campaign with the Angels and Ducks to proactively better inform the community about the intricacies and nuances of uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage in hopes that more families will actually acquire the insurance coverage they think they are buying.
“I can’t tell you how many times in my 50 years of practice that an injured client has come to me saying they are ‘fully insured’ and have ‘great coverage,’ only to learn that they waived coverage or have minimal underinsured motorist coverage,” says founding partner Doug Easton. “If you come to us with insufficient insurance coverage after an accident has occurred, it’s too late, and all we can do is try to make the most of the minimal coverage you purchased.” “Most people don’t understand the difference between bodily injury coverage and UIM coverage, and their insurance broker isn’t explaining it to them,” adds co-managing partner Matt Easton. “They don’t realize that for just a few more dollars every six months, they can often purchase hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage for their families, which is the coverage that really protects their own families the most. This can be life-changing when an accident occurs, and we hope to use this new initiative with the Angels and Ducks to ensure more families have sufficient coverage before an accident occurs.” For many years, the call to action for Easton & Easton has been “Let Our Family Help Yours”—after an accident has occurred. With these new community initiatives, they hope to expand that calling to: “Let Our Family Help You Better Protect Yours Before An Accident Occurs.”

The Rise of Child Sexual Abuse: A Dark Epidemic Bobby Saadian, Esq./J.D. Founder & President, Wilshire Law Firm
C
HILD SEXUAL ABUSE is a deeply troubling and pervasive issue that has gained increased attention in recent years. While it is not a new phenomenon, the rise of child sexual abuse incidents is a disheartening trend that demands immediate attention and concerted efforts to combat it. At Wilshire Law Firm, we battle child sexual abuse by bringing civil lawsuits on behalf of the victim. We help them to speak their truth against their perpetrator and assist victims in taking back their stolen “power” by championing their cause in the courtroom. On their behalf, we demand compensation from the perpetrator and anyone else who participated by not keeping that child safe. Child sexual abuse encompasses a wide range of harmful behaviors,
2. Desensitization: The exposure to explicit content has desensitized some people to the real horror of sexual child abuse. This normalization of explicit content can contribute to a lack of empathy and an increased willingness to engage in abusive behavior. 3. Economic Disparities: Poverty and economic disparities can make children more vulnerable to sexual abuse. Economic desperation can lead parents to trust people or institutions offering assistance to their children, making these children susceptible to exploitation. 4. Institutional Failures: Institutions that should protect children, such as schools, religious organizations and foster care systems, have sometimes failed to do so. Instances of abuse within these institutions have garnered widespread attention, eroding trust in authority figures. 5. Perpetrator Profiling: Child sexual abuse often remains hidden in plain sight. Abusers’ ability to blend into society and avoid suspicion makes it challenging to identify them and to gather the necessary evidence to stop them. This makes it easier for them to continue their abusive behavior. 6. Social Stigma: Victims of child sexual abuse often face stigmatization, which can deter victims from reporting the abuse or seeking help. This social stigma can perpetuate the cycle of abuse. The consequences of child sexual abuse are profound and farreaching, affecting not only the victims but society as a whole. The child is undoubtedly traumatized, leading to a host of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression and PTSD.
“We demand compensation from the perpetrator and anyone else who participated by not keeping that child safe.” including molestation, exploitation, grooming, online harassment and trafficking involving children under the age of 18. As we’ve learned, these perpetrators of child sexual abuse can be strangers, family members, coaches, teachers, religious leaders or another person within positions of authority and trust. The rise of child sexual abuse is not due solely to an increase in incidents. It also is linked to improved reporting and awareness. Several other factors also contribute to the increase in numbers: 1. The Digital Age: The proliferation of the internet has provided child predators with a new platform to exploit and groom their victims. Social media, chat rooms and online gaming platforms have become breeding grounds for perpetrators seeking to manipulate and exploit children.
But worst of all, some victims of child sexual abuse become perpetrators in adulthood, thereby perpetuating the cycle of abuse across generations. The rise of child sexual abuse is a disturbing trend that requires our collective attention and action. Just speaking from our corner of the world, there are legal reforms that need to be addressed. Sentences need to be longer, and “economic sanctions” should be as hard as possible. Reporting mechanisms need to be improved. This includes hotlines, accessible mental health services, better protection for victims and reporting requirements for professionals who work with children. It is essential that we all take responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of children, because no child should ever have to encounter the horrors of child sexual abuse.

Toni Jaramilla is an employment and civil rights attorney, fighting for fair treatment in the workplace and against police brutality. She is widely recognized for her court room success, her activism, and her acumen in fostering change in Sacramento and her local community. Since 1994, she has successfully litigated hundreds of cases of discrimination, racial and sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and unpaid wages on behalf of employees. Her police abuse and wrongful death cases have often drawn media attention, including one of the largest civil rights settlements, $4.75 Million, for a police beating against LA County Sheriff’s Department. Jaramilla has a 26-year history of tenacious litigation resulting in millions of dollars in judgments, verdicts, and settlements. She stands as a model example of a successful attorney and woman of color within the plaintiff employment bar. She is tenacious not only in seeking full justice for her clients, but also systemic changes in the workplace that benefit all. She is a frequent speaker on educational panels and radio shows regarding employment law, civil rights, trials, and diversity in the legal profession.

“ONES TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
