After wildfires, lawyers are quick to swoop in. The Palisades and Eaton fire are no different
In the aftermath of the Tubbs and Camp fires, back in 2017 and 2018 respectively, lawyers swarmed the areas looking to sign victims up for lawsuits against the utility companies responsible. A similar phenomenon is happening here in LA. Lawyers are jockeying for names to sign up for their lawsuits, but not all of them have experience in wildfire litigation. In fact, many law firms have come from out-of-state just for the opportunity to win big. This is a particularly sensitive situation as victims deal with not only the loss of their livelihoods but also navigate means for compensation. Today on AirTalk we want to hear from you. If you lost your home in the LA fires and have been contacted by lawyers for representation, we want to hear about your experience. Call us at 866-893-5722 or email us at atcomments@laist.com. Joining us this morning on AirTalk is Amanda Bronstad, staff writer at Law.com where she covers class actions and mass torts nationwide.
Her recent piece for Law.com is titled 'You Will Rebuild This Town' Outside the Courtroom: Lawyers Welcome LA Wildfire Victims With Lunches, Town Hall
Cobbler: a pie by any other shape tastes just as sweet, if not sweeter
While the rest of the world celebrates Pi Day, we're going rogue and indulging in the pie's more rough and tumble cousin: the cobbler. You can still enjoy a flaky crust and fruity filling, just not in the traditional circular shape. The cobbler is more versatile, more forgiving. Today on AirTalk, we're joined by Sherice Powell of Pasadena's own The Gourmet Cobbler Factory. The Cobbler Factory has been around since the 1970s, with the Powell family taking ownership in 2002. The Powell's cobblers are distinctly Southern with a bottom crust. Forget pie and join us for a conversation about the other beloved Southern dessert and why the cobbler just might be superior.
