In an interview with Law360 Pulse, Danielle Ward Mason shared, 'While my team and I loved being part of a small firm, and are very proud of what we built, we felt that having the additional resources offered by a larger firm would enable us to represent our clients most effectively. We feel like at Singleton Schreiber, we get the best of both worlds: the client-centered focus and culture of a small firm with the resources of a national firm.'
Danielle and her team will handle cases related to hair relaxers and are dedicated to seeking justice for women who have been harmed by Revlon, L’Oréal, and other manufacturers.

Deciding when to file a lawsuit after an accident or injury involves a careful evaluation of several factors.
If settlement negotiations fall through, or if severe injuries demand thorough investigation by insurers, taking legal action may be necessary.
Here’s what you need to know to make an informed decision.
We are actively monitoring the aftermath of the recent BNSF train derailment at the New Mexico-Arizona border.
The incident involved a propane-laden train catching fire and forcing evacuations. New Mexico Managing Partner Brian Colón stresses the firm’s commitment to the approximately 40 affected property owners, highlighting their potential rights and claims due to exposure to toxic chemicals.
Our team is dedicated to advocating for change and supporting our communities, especially when it impacts your well-being and the environment.
Many worry they shouldn’t sue because "others have it worse." But it’s about getting fair compensation for what YOU endured. Our team is here to make sure your story is heard and addressed properly. Our lawyers work up our fire cases individually in a mass action, not a class action. Historically, this means a better outcome for our clients.

Our Counsel Katie Llamas spoke to KIRO 7 News about the federal lawsuit alleging Motel 6 locations turned a blind eye to s*x trafficking occurring on their premises for years. Survivors are too often unseen and unnoticed when motels/hotels fail to identify and act on human trafficking indicators. We are committed to holding businesses like Motel 6 accountable when they fail to protect trafficking victims and allow these horrific crimes to go on.
