A Multimillion-Dollar Track Record Of Success

On Jan. 6, 2016, the governor of California declared a state of emergency as a result of the Aliso Canyon gas leak (also known as the Porter Ranch gas leak). This leak, which took place in the northern part of Los Angeles County, affected thousands of families and homeowners in Porter Ranch. The leak emitted 1,200 tons of methane every day, according to the Daily News, and was compared to the BP Gulf oil spill.

If you have been affected by the Porter Ranch gas leak or other such leaks, and you are experiencing trouble from your homeowner insurance company or with Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas), our firm is here to assist you. Call Schimmel & Parks, APLC, today at 818-464-5061​ for a consultation regarding your case.

Many Homeowners And Families Relocated

Many residents have been relocated by SoCal Gas, and many schools have been relocated for the safety of staff and students. SoCal Gas has been criticized for its slow response to address complaints made by residents and failure to repair aging natural gas infrastructure, which is what caused the leak.

  • Headaches
  • Nosebleeds
  • Nausea
