Faced with a devastating loss of our home along with 19 other community homeowners due to the Laguna Niguel Coastal Fire in May of 2022, we had the good fortune to be introduced to Richard Bridgford of the law firm Bridgford, Gleason & Artinian. During our initial contact with Mr. Bridgford and several of his team members, it became very clear that his firm was in fact a subject matter expert in representing clients affected by wildfires even larger than the one that affected our community. Follow up interactions to our initial meeting confirmed that this firm would be our best option to represent us in a class action tort against Southern California Edison. Over the ensuing 2 years this firms team patiently and professionally walked us through the legal process of preparing for what we hoped would be a positive outcome. There were numerous in person meetings and video testimonials, ZOOM calls and data requests. Our lead attorney contact was very thorough and helped us every step of the way. He along with the principals of the firm were always available and responsive if I needed to talk with them directly. After explaining our legal recourse options, we moved forward with mediation which in turn led us to binding mediation which based on our case we felt would be our best option and the most expedient. On the day of binding mediation, the two principal attorneys and their team of experts did an amazing job of representing our case to the mediator. The final economic outcome was very satisfactory and closed in record time according to our legal team. While no one wants to ever lose their home to such a devastating tragedy, having competent legal representation is critical to helping you put your life back together. I would highly recommend this firm to represent victims of a wildfire. Everyone we met was professional, polite, helpful, honest, and empathetic to our individual situation.
