We represent families against the government that made them sick. Currently accepting claims for all those who lived on the Navy water line on O’ahu between May and November 2021.
You deserve to be compensated for disruption, illness, and fear. Many of you knew your family was not well. You smelled it in the water. You saw a sheen. And you and your family felt it: nausea, skin rashes, sore throats, burning eyes. You told them things weren’t right: the doctors, the command, the VA. They told you everything was fine. But they knew there had been an enormous blast of tens of thousands of gallons of jet fuel into your water source in May and November 2021. You have lost so much. These events upended your lives, and you just want your family to get physically and mentally well.

History of Military Failures at Red Hill
We hope you will join us in the effort to hold the military accountable
This water contamination crisis is merely the most recent failure in a series of problems with Oahu’s Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility that dates back decades. Since World War II when the Red Hill USTs were constructed, the US military has ignored warnings from experts and local leaders about the enormous risk to people who rely on the water supply under Red Hill. The Navy has covered up their mistakes and dismissed your concerns, resulting in a crisis that has cost many of you and your families your homes and your health.

Mission
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.
We cannot be mission-ready if the government is making us sick.
Who are We
We are fierce advocates with a passion for environmental health and our military communities.

And when her own family experienced toxic exposure, she left the Department of Justice to build the personal injury firm she couldn’t find.
