Joseph Stembridge's blog ::AstraZeneca Seroquel Litigation Update - The Miller Firm LLC, Ennis & Ennis, P.A., and Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. "You Had A Lawyer" - Are Law Firms Using Legal Sleight of...
The small, rural coastal town of Eureka in Humboldt County is represented by at least eleven law firms that specialize in all areas of law, including Probate, Estate Planning, Business Law, Real Property, Contracts, Insurance Defense and Civil Litigation. Consistent with the legal needs of a rural area, several firms practice Farm and Ranch Law covering zoning and land use issues, Environmental Law dealing with local water pollution and soil contamination, and Logging. One of the largest and most well known firms is Harland Law Firm, LLP, established in 1948. The firm offers representation in Probate, Trust and Estate Planning, Business Law, Real Property and Construction. Of particular local interest, their attorneys practice Environmental Law, Logging Law, Farm and Ranch Law and Solid Waste Law. Established in 1915, Mitchell, Brisso, Delaney & Vrieze, LLP, is another large Eureka law firm. Three-fourths of their practice is devoted to insurance and public entity defense. Their attorneys also represent, among others, clients with issues in Municipal Law, Medical Malpractice, Employment Law, Timber and Logging Law, and Professional Liability Litigation. Active in Eureka for over fifty years, the law firm of Donald Bicknell handles all areas of Family Law, Civil Litigation and Probate. To find these and other attorneys, check online at www.hg.org/lawfirms/USA-California/Eureka.html or www.lawyers.com/California/Eureka/law-firms.html. The Eureka office of California Indian Legal Services (CILS) is one of four in California. The other offices are located in Sacramento, Escondido and Bishop. Together, the offices represent Native American individuals and tribes throughout the state. CILS is supported by grants from Legal Services Corporation and the State Bar of California, private foundations, individuals, corporations and many of the state's Indian Tribes. CILS priorities include preserving and enhancing the state's Indian land base, obtaining California Indian control of reservations, improving services provided by federal agencies to the state's Indian tribes, as well as securing bureaucratic accountability for governmental policies and actions that have adversely affected California Indians. Other priorities are protection of Indian civil rights, families and children, and improving access to health care and housing. Legal issues faced by California tribes and tribal members are often unique to Indians and Indian lands. Brownfields left over from mining and logging operations from the 1800's onward contaminate tribal lands and need to be cleaned up. Mercury used to process gold during Gold Rush days has seeped into rivers and lakes and become a health hazard to tribes whose diet consists of fish polluted by this heavy metal. Industrial development intrudes upon and threatens to destroy spiritual and traditional healing grounds. Cultural artefacts have been desecrated or stolen from Indian burial grounds. Salmon, the traditional diet of many Northern California tribes, have all but disappeared from rivers affected by dams built years ago. Many tribes are still seeking federal recognition. A special project of CILS is their Community Legal Education Self-Help Series whose mission is to expand access to legal resources to increase Indian self-sufficiency. Areas of law covered by the series include ICWA, the Indian Child Welfare Act, passed to keep Indian children with Indian families, rather than allow them to be adopted by non-Natives. This law was passed in response to the incredible loss by tribes across the nation whose children were forcibly taken from their homes, placed in boarding schools in order to assimilate them into Western culture, and often not returned to their families. Today, many individuals are still going through the process of petitioning courts to unseal their adoption and Indian birth records to discover their tribal roots and claim their cultural heritage. Other issues covered in their self-help series include Indian Ancestry, Indian Business Development, Family and Housing Law. In 2002, I was privileged to work as a paralegal at California Indian Legal Services until the office was restructured and my position was eliminated. My roles included assisting the lead attorney at the time, Mary J. Risling who authored the definitive guide to ICWA. The Office Manager, Linda Ogburn Gillette, was an incredible Yurok woman who seemed to know everyone in Northern California! My roles included conducting research for two attorneys to support cases involving tribes in several counties. I also helped prepare self-help informational packets for tribal members to help them represent themselves in court. Today, CILS has an excellent website at www.calindian.org.
