San Diego Toxic Mold & Chemical Exposure Injury Law Firm

San Diego’s most experienced toxic mold and chemical exposure attorney

Founding partner Jeff LaFave has earned a national reputation for his expertise in representing victims of toxic mold and chemical exposure. He is an innovator in this area and in 1994 helped to win the first mold exposure injury case in the United States. Since then, he has focused exclusively on helping to gain justice for people who have been harmed by exposure to mold or any other environmental hazard. Unlike many litigators, Mr. LaFave has tried many cases to verdict, including being awarded the Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award for a million dollar judgement after a mold exposure trial.

LaFave has a reputation for excellence as a trial lawyer who won't back down against insurance companies, big corporations, or any other opponent. He has represented families and children in many hundreds of cases, winning tens of millions of dollars in compensation. In those cases, he has stood toe-to-toe with the very biggest companies and the best defense attorneys. LaFave Law is extremely dedicated to our clients and we will do everything possible to get you the justice that you deserve.
