About this resource
Who runs this page and how a screening actually works.
This is a public legal resource page run by Berhe Jones LLP. The images below are firm photos, not incident photos. Facts about the chemical emergency should be confirmed through the official agency and news sources cited on this page.
Berhe Jones LLP intake
California trial and contingency counsel. Screenings cover fit, deadlines, possible defendants, evidence, and whether representation, referral, or another route is appropriate.
Attorney-supervised review
Each submission is read by the intake team and is subject to attorney review and conflicts check before any follow-up contact. Use the form for short, conflict-safe facts.
Mobile-first access
The page is built for phones first. Quick links to City, County, state, and news sources are reachable in one tap, and the screening form is short and accessible.
FAQ
Common questions from affected residents and businesses.
General information only, not legal advice. Facts, deadlines, representation status, proof, and damages determine whether a matter can be reviewed, referred, accepted, or declined.
Call 909-609-6685 if your matter is urgent or deadline-sensitive.
Can I request screening if I only evacuated?
Yes. Evacuation-only claims may be lower value than documented medical or business-loss claims, but receipts, shelter records, hotel costs, gas, childcare, pet boarding, missed work, address proof, and alert screenshots can still matter.
What if I had symptoms?
Document when symptoms started, where you were, what you smelled or saw, who else was affected, and whether you sought urgent care, ER care, prescriptions, or follow-up. Pediatric, asthma, and respiratory histories are worth noting.
Can a business or school program submit?
Yes. Business proof may include closure notices, payroll disruption, POS reports, canceled appointments, refund logs, inventory loss, supplier disruption, and cleaning costs. Schools and after-school programs can use the same checklist.
What if I already signed with another lawyer?
Say so on the form. Berhe Jones will not contact a person already represented by counsel about the same matter unless the rules of professional conduct allow it.
Does the screening cost anything?
The initial screening is free. Representation, fees, costs, and scope are governed only by a signed written engagement agreement after conflicts review.
How fast should I act?
Act now to preserve proof. Deadlines vary by facts, defendants, government involvement, insurance, and claim type. Some claims against public entities have early notice requirements. Call if urgent.

Important: do not send privileged documents, full medical records, Social Security numbers, account credentials, or urgent safety requests through this public form. If your matter is urgent or deadline-sensitive, call 909-609-6685 now.
