Singleton Schreiber Adds Injury Litigator Who Took On J&J - Law360 Pulse 05/22/2024

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.

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.
