Our first four families have filed suit against the United States, with hundreds more to come. These brave clients seek accountability, truth, and change. We cannot continue to poison families on American soil—and then fail to warn them. And we cannot tell sick families that they are not sick.

Our Mission

The US military was negligent. We hope you will join us in the effort to hold them accountable.

We know that our clients need to recover financially to rebuild their health and their lives. And together, we will send a message to the United States: clean water is a national security issue. To maintain our position of readiness, we must protect our families and military communities from harm. We must provide safe housing and safe water. 

And we have the same message for the responsible landlords.

Who We Are

We are experienced advocates with a record of securing damages for our clients. We have practiced as Assistant U.S. Attorneys, Judge Advocate Generals, and plaintiffs' counsel in large national cases.
