Courtney Vasquez

Courtney Vasquez is an accomplished litigator with 13 years of experience specializing in mass tort cases
and consumer class actions. For the past seven years, Courtney has focused her practice on wildfire
litigation going head-to-head with the most powerful utility companies operating in the State, including
Pacific Gas & Electric Corporation (PG&E), Southern California Edison Company (SCE), and PacifiCorp.

Courtney has successfully obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in recoveries for wildfire victims of
the major wildfires in the past decade including the 2015 Butte Fire, 2017 North Bay Fires, 2017/2018
Thomas Fire and Montecito Mudslides, 2018 Woolsey Fire, and 2018 Camp Fire. She also actively
represents fire victims of the 2022 McKinney Fire, 2022 Mill Fire, 2022 Mosquito Fire and 2022 Hermit’s
Peak/Calf Canyon Fire. Courtney understands the overwhelming devastation fire victims suffer and
knows exactly what it takes to maximize recovery for her clients.

Before representing California fire victims, Courtney spent the first six years of her career working at the
top international defense firm, DLA Piper LLP (US). At DLA Piper, Courtney defended Fortune 500
companies against some of the biggest mass tort, product liability, and consumer class actions across
the country. This included the deadly 2008 Chatsworth Metrolink Train Collision, DJO Global Cold
Therapy product liability cases, Bayer Men’s One-A-Day false advertising class actions, and various
smoking and health cases nationwide. This experience gave Courtney invaluable insight into corporate
defense strategy and provides her with a unique basis to build the strongest case for her clients who
have been harmed.

Courtney graduated from the University of San Diego in 2006, cum laude, with a double major in
Philosophy and Psychology. She then attended law school at UC Davis School of Law – King Hall and
earned her Juris Doctor in 2009.

Courtney currently lives in Ventura, California, having moved to the area after becoming integrally
involved with the Ventura and Santa Barbara communities when representing fire victims in the
2017/2018 Thomas Fire and Mudslide and 2018 Woolsey Fire cases.
