The Maui Wildfires Litigation

When the fires of August 8, 2023, devastated Lahaina and Upcountry Maui, the Stuemke Law Firm was on the ground immediately. We understood that this was not just a natural disaster, but a preventable tragedy caused by the negligence of major corporations and landowners.

From the very beginning, our firm was active in the complex litigation that followed, fighting to hold Hawaiian Electric, Kamehameha Schools, and other entities accountable. We are proud to have represented hundreds of Maui families, guiding them through the legal process with compassion and aggression.

In 2025, those efforts culminated in a historic $4.037 Billion Global Settlement. This landmark victory ensures that billions of dollars will go directly to survivors to help them rebuild their homes and their lives. While no amount of money can replace what was lost, we are honored to have achieved the best possible financial result for our clients.
