In 2018, Coast Law Group stood up to protect the Los Cerritos Wetlands and our local community when…read morea project that tied a so-called restoration to expanded oil drilling was embraced by the City of Long Beach, the CA Coastal Commission, and most local environmental groups. With their help we formed Puvunga Wetlands Protectors and sued the CA Coastal Commission for approving new oil drilling operations that would drill under the wetlands to expand output to 25,000 barrels (a 5000% increase) and release 70,000 tons of methane annually. While we did not win the lawsuit, it contributed to the project plans being drastically scaled back, and, 71/2 years later, new wells have yet to be drilled. In 2021, Coast Law Group and the non-profit Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation were first to bring attention to the pollution of Alamitos Bay in Long Beach caused by the annual Big Bang on the Bay Fireworks Shows, suing the promoters for violating the Clean Water Act. Their efforts led to a 2023 decision by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board to declare fireworks to be a pollutant that must be strictly regulated under the Clean Water Act. Puvunga Wetlands Protectors and Sierra Club's Los Cerritos Wetlands Task Force joined the effort to end this show due to its disastrous impacts on a coastal bird rookery in the Alamitos Bay Marina. This year, the Coastal Commission refused to overturn their 2025 decision, banning fireworks as part of this event, in spite of tremendous pressure to do so. Although not all victories are won in a courtroom, the law can be a powerful tool for justice. We are especially grateful for the expertise of Attorney Liva Borak Beaudin, who has provided both legal counsel and practical advice. Coast Law Group can be counted on to represent and protect you, your community, and our shared coast. Anna Christensen, Puvunga Wetlands Protectors

I wanted to share my story about my experience with Aran Wong, Esq. and Rachelle Law, Esq. of Coast…read moreLaw Group, and the accident I was involved in. I was t-boned by a person not paying attention at an intersection that I was driving through. I suffered injuries. The impact was so significant it totaled my car. An ambulance arrived and I was taken to the hospital. I didn't know what to do next. Mr. Wong was highly recommended to me. After speaking with Mr. Wong, I immediately knew I was in good hands. This was such a stressful time for me. Mr. Wong was very thorough explaining the process I would face going forward. He was patient in answering all of my questions and provided me with exceptional advice. He connected me with the right doctors, who were wonderful and took good care of me. Mr. Wong assured me that I didn't need to worry about paying hospital or medical bills during this stressful time. Mr. Wong and Ms. Law were always professional, compassionate and kind. Whenever I had additional questions, my calls and texts were returned in a timely manner. They worked tirelessly to get me a fair and well-deserved settlement, as the insurance company offered far less than what was justified. I highly recommend Mr. Wong, Ms. Law, and their entire team! If you ever face the same situation I did, you will be very happy that you decided to use Coast Law Group! Julie T.

What makes me most proud of Thompson & Belnap is our team. We have an exceptional group of attorneys and staff who truly care about the people we represent. We work hard, communicate with our clients, and aren't afraid to take on difficult or complicated cases. Whether we are helping build a family through adoption, guiding someone through a challenging family law matter, or any civil litigation matter, we understand how much is at stake for the people who trust us. After years of practicing law, I still consider it a privilege when someone chooses our firm to represent them. We have had the opportunity to help thousands of families, and many of our clients come to us through referrals from former clients, attorneys, agencies, and other professionals. That trust means more to me than any award or recognition ever could. I'm extremely proud to be an owner of Thompson & Belnap, proud of the people I get to work alongside, and grateful for every client who has trusted our firm with their family and their future. -- Peter W. Thompson Founding Partner, Thompson & Belnap

Going through a family law case can be extremely stressful, and I can genuinely say that choosing…read moreThompson and Belnap was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the beginning, I've never felt like I was just another case or another client. My attorney has been communicative, honest, and willing to take the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and explain things when I didn't understand them. Most importantly, I've always felt like they genuinely care about me, my case, and what I'm fighting for. There's a big difference between simply hiring an attorney and actually feeling like you have someone in your corner fighting alongside you, and that's exactly how this firm has made me feel. They've worked with me, supported me through some very stressful moments, and made me feel like my case truly matters to them. When you're dealing with something involving your family and your child, that means more than I can put into words. I'm extremely grateful for everything they've done for me and would absolutely recommend Thompson and Belnap to anyone looking for a firm that will listen, communicate, and genuinely fight for their clients.

Whether you need some advise, a well written letter or representation, Phillips and Associates is…read morethe best out there. Why? Quite simply because they listen, they respect their clients. Sadly, these are two qualities that are in short supply out in the legal community. If you are in need of legal services, the last thing you need is a heartless lawyer who won't take the time to listen. John Phillips listens. He is patient. Because he takes time to listen, he is better able to represent you. My family has gone to John for several years now and we are never disappointed in the services he provides to us. We are grateful he is still out there advocating for us and we are happy that his son has joined him! If you are in need of a lawyer, John Phillips is the best.
