LA-ABOTA 2025 Fire Response
Dear friends
Southern California has experienced devastating wildfires over
the last two weeks. Over 14,000 homes and businesses have
been destroyed and at least 25 people are reported to have died
in the fires as of today. Over 100,000 people have been
evacuated from their homes and displaced. The fires continue to
burn, and the winds remain unpredictable. Emergency
responders are risking their lives daily to protect life and
property. The members of the Los Angeles chapter of
the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) extend our
deepest sympathy and support to all who have suffered in this
unprecedented California disaster. We remain committed to do
everything within our collective and individual power to assist
those in need.
We have postponed the 2025 presidents’ installation dinner until
February 8, 2025. We do not think it’s an appropriate time for a
celebration. We remain hopeful that postponing the event for
three weeks will give sufficient time for the first responders to
get the fires under control and provide enough stability so that
people can return safely to our community.
Very truly yours,
Gary A. Dordick
President LA ABOTA
