Jacoby & Meyers partner Shane Hapuarachy is serving as the plaintiff’s attorney. His practice focuses on wrongful death and personal injury cases. He also has a solid track record with millions-worth of verdicts and settlements. In an interview with ABC30, Mr. Hapuarachy says, “neither the city, the county, or the state — all of which had the authority to do so — did anything to stop what was going on in the park.”
Recently, the trailer park is handled by a receivership under the city’s oversight.
People involved in the lawsuit are scheduled for a case management conference at the Fresno County civil courthouse in May.
