You Lost Someone in a House That Should Never Have Hosted That Party You are reading this because your family member — your son, your brother, your child’s father — went to a Halloween party at a house in Orinda on the night of October 31, 2019, and never came home. Five young people died in a single chaotic shootout. The home was advertised on social media as a “mansion party.” More than a hundred people showed up. The night ended in gunfire, panic, people leaping from balconies, and a death count that still haunts a quiet town in the hills east of Oakland. If you are the mother or the young daughter of Javlin County, you are carrying a loss that no civil lawsuit can make whole. But the law does not leave you without recourse. It gives you a way to hold accountable the people whose choices turned a residential rental home into an unsupervised late-night venue for more than a hundred strangers — and a way to make sure your daughter grows up with the financial security her father would have provided. This page is what we at Attorney911 do for families in your position. We take…

The Phone Call We Get From Families Hours After a Wrong-Way Highway 24 Wreck The call usually comes at three in the morning, or right after the chaplain has left the hospital room, or from a kitchen table in Orinda, Lafayette, or Moraga where the family is trying to understand what the California Highway Patrol officer just told them on the porch. Sometimes it comes from a survivor lying in a Contra Costa County hospital bed with a broken body and an unbroken question: how did this happen, and what do I do now? If that is you, or if that is your family tonight, hear us first: we are so sorry for what has happened, and we are ready to do the work that has to be done in the next seventy-two hours to protect the case you may not yet be ready to think about. The death or injury of someone you love in a wrong-way collision on Highway 24 in Orinda is not just a news event. It is the worst day of your life. And it is also — whether you are ready to hear this or not — the first day of a legal process…

A Halloween Night That Did Not Have To End This Way You are reading this because someone you love walked into a house on a holiday evening and never came home. On Halloween night 2019, five young people were killed and several more wounded in a mass shooting at a rented Airbnb home in Orinda, California — a hilltown of about 19,000 people tucked in the hills east of Oakland, in Contra Costa County. The party had been promoted on social media as a large, open-invite event. The home was a hillside property in an otherwise quiet residential neighborhood. A fight inside the house escalated into gunfire. The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office later described the scene as a “bloodbath.” Three of the victims were pronounced dead at the home. Two more died at hospitals. The shooters, themselves young, were arrested and tried; the criminal side of the case has played out in the courts. But for the families of the five who died, the criminal verdict is not the only verdict that matters. There is a second case, hidden inside the first, that the criminal courts cannot touch — the civil case for the lives that were taken…

Your Child Went to a Party in Bath Township. By Morning, He Was Gone. We are speaking to you, the family. The parent who got a call in the middle of the night. The sibling who found out from a text thread. The grandparent who drove to the hospital and waited in a waiting room that was not designed to hold this kind of silence. A teenager is dead. Eight others were wounded. The event was a large-scale party held at a mansion in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, in November 2025. The mansion was being operated as a short-term rental — the kind of “Airbnb” or “vacation rental” property that local zoning was written to keep out of residential neighborhoods for exactly the kind of reason that played out on that night. The property owner and the rental operator profited from the booking. The event promoter (or promoters) profited from the party. Security personnel were either absent, understaffed, or grossly inadequate. And an armed individual gained access to a venue where young people had been gathered with no real safety plan, and where the path to the front door was as wide open as the cash register on the…

Travelodge Hotel Sexual Assault Lawsuit: Attorney911 Holds Budget Hotel Chains Accountable for Negligent Key-Card Security That Enabled Unauthorized Room Access & Violent Assault — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Trauma, We Preserve the Key-Card Audit Logs and CCTV Footage Before the Overwrite, Severe Psychological Trauma & Sexual Assault Injuries, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Victims of Premises Liability — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

A Woman Checked Into a Travelodge Alone. The Front Desk Handed Her Attacker the Key to Her Room. A solo female guest booked a room at a Travelodge in the United Kingdom for the night. She was alone in her room when a man — not registered to the booking, not present at check-in — walked to the front desk and told staff he was her boyfriend and that he needed a replacement key card. Staff did not verify his identity. They did not call her room. They did not confirm anything. They handed him the key. He walked to her room. He sexually assaulted her. The perpetrator, Kyran Smith, was later sentenced to seven and a half years in prison. That is his sentence. It is not hers. It is not her family’s. It is the criminal court’s reckoning with one man. But the criminal case is not the whole story — and it was never going to be. The survivor’s civil case against the hotel is the other half, and it is the half the hotel did everything it could to keep quiet. Travelodge’s first response to the assault was to offer the survivor a £30 voucher —…

You Checked In. You Locked the Door. Someone Else Had the Key. If you were sexually assaulted in a Des Moines hotel room after a stranger was handed your room key without anyone checking an ID, you already know what no brochure will tell you. The lock on the door meant nothing. The safety bolt meant nothing. The trust you placed in a name on the building meant nothing. What you lived through, and what you have carried since, is the harm the hotel was paid to prevent. We built this page for one person: the survivor or the family member reading at 2 a.m. with shaking hands, looking for someone in Iowa who will tell the truth about what happened, what the law actually does, and what comes next. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle premises-liability and sexual-assault civil claims in Iowa.

A Father’s Phone Rang at 12:30 a.m. and Never Stopped Ringing It was the first weekend of November. Your son, or your daughter’s friend, or the kid you said goodnight to on Friday, was at a birthday party at a house in Bath Township — one of those Summit County streets where the lots are wide, the trees are old, and the houses have always been homes, not venues. By the time the gunfire stopped, an 18-year-old was dead, shot eight times. Nine others, most of them teenagers, were wounded. Thirteen different 911 calls came in that night. The dispatchers heard the same word over and over: shooting. And a voice on one of those recordings, as the township’s police chief later confirmed, simply said: “blood everywhere.” If you are reading this in the days, weeks, or months after that night, you are not here for a news summary. You are here because the person you raised, or loved, or simply cannot stop thinking about, was taken from you in a way the law is designed to address — and the people who profited from the house where it happened are not facing anything yet. We built this page for…

We also stand ready to help the wounded officer and his family in the days, months, and years ahead. If you are reading this because a loved one in a badge was lost or hurt at a hotel on February 1, 2026, we want you to know what the law actually allows you to do, what the hotel that hosted the encounter is already doing, and how quickly the proof in this case starts to disappear. On the morning of February 1, 2026, Gwinnett County Police Officer Pradeep Tamang, age 25, and a fellow officer responded to a report that someone had used a fraudulent credit card at a hotel near Stone Mountain, about 25 miles northeast of Atlanta. The front desk clerk directed the two officers to the specific room of the person suspected of the fraud. The suspect invited the officers into the room. The encounter became a shootout. Officer Tamang was fatally wounded. The second…

The Family of Deputy Derrick Bonham Deserves the Full Truth About What Happened in Martin Nicole, on the morning of January 30, 2026, your husband Derrick answered a call for help. He did what deputies do. He drove to the Days Inn on University Street in Martin, Tennessee, because someone reported shots fired there. Within minutes of arriving, while he and other officers were working the scene, a man in a vehicle at a nearby gas station opened fire. Derrick was struck. He was taken to Volunteer Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was 36 years old. You have been married for nine years. You have three young children who will grow up without their father. The man accused of killing him is in custody on a charge of first-degree murder. We are sorry.

What Happened at the Vilbig Road Rental, and What Comes Next If your loved one was killed or hurt in the shooting at the Vilbig Road short-term rental in West Dallas on May 26, 2026, you do not need us to explain how the last week has felt. You have already lived through the police at the door, the hours of silence from the property manager, the news trucks outside the house, the funeral director who wanted decisions before you had them, and the first text from an insurance number you did not ask for. The civil justice system cannot bring your person back. What it can do is hold the right people accountable, force the truth out of the records they would rather you never saw, and put real money in front of the people your family still has to support. We work for that outcome. The page below explains, in plain English, what Texas law actually gives you, who can be held responsible for what happened inside that rental, what evidence disappears if no one moves to save it this week, and what the insurance companies and their lawyers will try in the days and weeks ahead. The…
