Singleton Law Firm

Singleton Law Firm ("SLF"), based in San Diego, is the premier fire litigation firm in the State of California. Over the past decade, SLF has represented over six thousand individuals in major fires all over the state of California and has recovered more than $750 million for its clients in fire cases. Lead attorney Gerald Singleton has served as L... iaison Counsel and on the Executive Committees in some of the largest fires in the state. SLF currently represents over 1,800 clients in the 2017 Northern California Fires and over 800 clients in the 2017 Thomas Fire in Ventura County. Because we represent so many clients, the amount that each individual client has to pay for joint costs like proving liability is dramatically reduced. Although SLF represents thousands of clients all over the state, we are proud to maintain a client-centered approach to litigation. We work-up and resolve each of our client's cases individually, and each client decides whether to accept a settlement, go to arbitration, or go to trial. Although we specialize in high value cases, we represent individuals and business with all types of damages. We have a network of experts who are available to assist us with the investigations necessary to identify the source and cause of a fire in order to determine liability. We have extensive experience and success negotiating out-of-court settlements with insurance companies and other defendants and preparing and litigating all types of fire claims in California courts. SLF represented over 2,000 individuals in the 2015 Butte Fire, which was a catastrophic fire started by PG&E power lines that burned over 70,000 acres in Calaveras and Amador counties. The firm recently represented the largest individual group of plaintiffs in the 2013 Powerhouse Fire in Los Angeles County, and Gerald Singleton served as Liaison Counsel for that case. Prior to the Powerhouse Fire, Singleton Law Firm was one of four firms who teamed up in a joint venture to represent over 1,600 individuals in the 2007 San Diego Fires. ...Read More
