You Are Reading This at 2 a.m. Because a House on Navarro Drive Was Not a Home That Night Some nights the phone rings and the voice on the other end is a parent who has just lost a child. Not to an illness. Not to an accident behind the wheel. To a bullet, fired at the back of a house while a police car sat at the front. The house was an Airbnb. The party was on social media. The crowd was 150 to 200 people, most of them under 21, paying a cover charge to drink in a residential living room in a quiet Sunnyvale neighborhood. And the homeowner was not there — because the city’s own rule, written six years before, said the homeowner had to be. That rule is Sunnyvale Municipal Code Chapter 19.76. It was not a suggestion. It was the law. And the family now buried because of that night has a wrongful death case that runs along two parallel tracks: one against the homeowner who broke the city rule and converted his house into a commercial party venue, and one against the platform that listed an “entire home” in a jurisdiction that flatly…

Beverly Crest Mansion Party Shooting: Holding the Homeowner, the Host, and the Security Firm Accountable Under California Law It is just after midnight when your phone rings, and the voice on the other end tells you to come to a hospital, or to the intersection of a road you have never been to, or to a house you did not know your loved one was at. The hours that follow are a fog of waiting rooms, phone calls, and a single question that does not form into words for a long time. We have sat across from families at that exact hour, and we want you to know two things before you read another line. First, in California, the law gives the family of a person killed in a shooting at a rented mansion real and substantial rights against every layer of the people who profited from that night. Second, the next 72 hours matter more than the next 72 months, because the evidence that proves a negligent security case erases itself on schedules you would not believe unless someone told you. That is what this page is for. This article treats one event, in plain California law, at the…

The Night the Landscaping Crew Didn’t Come Home You are reading this in the dark, or you are reading it in daylight with that same darkness behind your eyes. Maybe you are Martina, the daughter who remembers the last conversation: “I’ll call you later, or I’ll call you tomorrow because I’m working, but I love you.” Maybe you are the mother of four who just learned that the man who called every night after his shift was never going to call again. Maybe you are the other landscaper, the one who went home from the hospital this time, carrying a wound in your body and a question in your chest that no one answered: why did he shoot us? Maybe you are the brother, the sister, the cousin, the friend who keeps replaying the last text, the last wave, the last ordinary goodbye that wasn’t ordinary at all. If that is you, we are sorry for what brought you to this page. We know no page can do anything about the hole that is now in your family. What this page can do is tell you, in plain English, what California law actually says about who answers for what happened…

When the Room You Were Promised Was Safe Turns Out to Be the Crime Scene A homeless woman in her thirties, desperate for a hot shower, was offered one by a man she and her mother had met a few times. He was a 36-year-old registered sex offender with a 2009 felony conviction for sexual penetration by a foreign object. The offer was a lie. The motel room in Thousand Oaks became the setting for a forcible rape and an extended sexual assault that ended only when the victim fought her way out the door. The man was convicted in February 2025 in Ventura County Superior Court of forcible rape, false imprisonment, forcible oral copulation, sexual battery, and two counts of sexual penetration by force or fear, and the court found true the special allegations that his victim was vulnerable. In a separate Ventura County incident nine months later, a 21-year-old Oxnard man allegedly kept a 21-year-old Oxnard woman trapped inside his vehicle near the intersection of East Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Rancho Road, with witnesses reporting the victim was screaming to be let out; the vehicle hit a concrete bollard at a gas station meant to protect the fuel…

If You Were Sexually Assaulted at a Monterey Hotel, the Law Has Changed — and the Door Is Open If you are reading this, someone you love — or you — went to a Monterey hotel as an adult in control of the evening, and woke up missing pieces of it. Or you were drugged. Or you were too drunk to consent and someone decided that did not matter. Or you remembered telling him no and he did it anyway. Or you remembered nothing and were told, later, what happened to your body while you could not speak. We are sorry that is what brought you here. We have represented survivors of hotel sexual assault across California, and we know the shape of the harm — the flashbacks that arrive at 2 a.m., the shame that is not yours, the partner you have not yet told, the marriage that is bending, the job where you cannot concentrate, the bottle you told yourself you would not open again. We know the cost is not just medical. The cost is the life you had before, which is not coming back exactly as it was, and you have to grieve that while you…

A Loved One Didn’t Come Home From a Beverly Hills Mansion Party — And Someone Is Responsible For That The 911 call came in just before 12:45 a.m. on August 4, 2020. When Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics reached the 13200 block of Mulholland Drive — a stretch of narrow, twisting road carved into the Santa Monica Mountains above Beverly Crest — they found three adults down on the driveway outside a three-story mansion. Two women and one man. One of the women, believed to be around 35 years old, was pronounced dead at the hospital. A second woman was listed in grave condition. A fifth victim, another adult male, self-transported to a local hospital and was later released. A sixth, an adult female, was in stable condition. She went to a party. She did not come home. If that sentence is yours — if you are reading this because your daughter, your sister, your mother, or your friend was one of the five people who were shot on the driveway of a Mulholland Drive mansion while a DJ played and a food truck served food to nearly 200 people inside — then you are in the right place. We…

Your Sister, Your Mother, Your Daughter Was Killed at a House That Should Never Have Held 200 People You are reading this in the part of grief that has no name. The phone call that came before sunrise, the drive to a hospital where the people in scrubs could not look at you, the moment you understood the words “did not survive” were going to be your life from that morning forward. You are not looking for a lawyer because you want to argue. You are looking for one because every question you have asked since the night your loved one was killed at that party on Mulholland Drive has been answered with silence, with a press conference, or with a statement from an insurer that begins with the word “sympathy” and ends with a number that is not enough to bury her. We hear you. And we want to tell you the truth about what the law does, what it does not, and how the family of a 35-year-old mother of three who was shot and killed at a Beverly Crest mansion party in the early hours of August 4, 2020 can hold the right people accountable for what…

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.

You Are Not To Blame. You Are Not Alone. And You Still Have Rights. We want you to hear this first, before anything else on this page: what happened to you was not your fault. The intoxication. The hotel room. The trust you placed in a man whose job was to keep that place safe. None of it gave anyone the right to do what was done. The law is on your side, and so are we. If you are reading this late at night, or early in the morning, or in the middle of the day when the house is finally quiet and the memories come back — we are here. Our firm has spent more than two decades standing between survivors of sexual violence and the institutions that failed them. We have walked survivors through forensic exams, police reports, insurance carriers that tried to stonewall, and the long arc of civil litigation. We know the geography of this fight. We know what insurance companies do in the first seventy-two hours. We know what hotel chains say when their own general manager is arrested. And we know that the case is built one piece at a time, starting with…
