PATRICK McNICHOLAS
Partner
McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP
Few attorneys can say their cases have a direct impact on law, policy and public safety the way Pat McNicholas can. His mass tort work has achieved more than $1 billion in resolutions for his clients, held massive utility companies, retailers and manufacturers accountable, and improved the lives of millions of Californians.
McNicholas is at the forefront of California wildfire litigation against PG&E, SoCal Edison and the DWP, representing tens of thousands of victims. His tireless efforts against these behemoth companies have made unmatched change that will protect millions of people through critical safety improvements. Both PG&E and Edison are burying thousands of miles of power lines to reduce fire risk. McNicholas’ success in these matters has ensured that victims receive maximum financial recoveries, via the passing of two California bills that exempt past and future wildfire victims from being taxed on any settlement monies they receive.
