Staff, Clients and Friends of the Firm can check here for regular updates on the status of the firm in the face of the fires and evacuations affecting our area. For information about areas under mandatory or recommended evacuation, go to Ventura County Fire Information.
As a precaution to ensure the safety of our clients’ files and other materials, we have removed all essential documents from the office on Thousand Oaks Boulevard. Most clients’ original signed documents are stored at our off-site fire-protected storage facility. The few files that we were working with actively at the office have all been removed from our Westlake Village located to safe locations away from the fire. All electronic files have been saved to our remote backup system.
Currently, the firm is in an “Area of Concern” under voluntary evacuation with mandatory evacuations nearby, as shown on the map from the Los Angeles Times.
We invite those clients of the firm who are facing evacuation or who have family members serving in the fire department to contact Diedre by email for legal and logistical assistance. Clients and others who have space or other resources to offer to evacuees may likewise contact diedre@wachbrit.com .
