Recommended Remediation Companies

Over the years we have observed the work of more than a hundred mold remediation companies throughout Southern California, and have found several to be competent, reliable and of high integrity.  Furthermore, we are fortunate to have the choice to associate with these companies because of their excellent reputation.  By experience, we have found that the most competent companies have well trained, well supervised work crews, not just well dressed, articulate, cost estimators.  The following companies meet these criteria.

Because remediation is expensive, and at the end will need to pass a project clearance inspection and testing, it is important that the remediation be performed correctly the first time.  Thus, one of the most consistent measures of a remediator's quality is their ability to pass the project clearance criteria on the first inspection.  We have observed that the following companies have the highest rates of passing on the first inspection. 

Please note that this list may change in time as we continue to observe existing remediaton company performance, and to observe other remediators.  We have no financial interest in any of these recommended companies.

Recommended Attorneys

For the last few years we have worked as expert witnesses with several attorneys throughout Southern California, and have found several to be competent, reliable and of high integrity.  Furthermore, we are fortunate to have the ability to choose with whom we will associate ... those of excellence.  Unfortunately, we have also experienced a few lawyers who have fleeced their clients, ignored their timely requests, or who have not been competent in dealing with mold issues.  We recommend the following attorneys because they are the ones we will choose when in need of their services.

Please note that this list may change in time as we continue to observe their performance, as well as other newer attorneys.  We have no financial interests or conflicts of interest  associated with these recommended professionals.
