Impact Litigation

In 2024, MoGo filed two lawsuits against the City of San Diego on behalf of harmed community members.

We, along with co-counsel Rios Bollinger Law APC, filed a lawsuit alleging several causes of action against the City of San Diego because of their failure to properly maintain the Chollas Creek channel leading to the flooding that happened on January 22, 2024 which displaced thousands of San Diegans. Not only was the flooding foreseeable, it was preventable. Prior to the catastrophic flooding, our clients requested help from various elected officials and members of city staff to unclog the storm drains and received no assistance.

They lost everything. This case is about accountability. Our clients are seeking justice for the losses they have endured and to ensure no other families are harmed by similar systemic neglect. As the City of San Diego must address its failure to maintain critical infrastructure, particularly in underserved areas, we are hopeful that this case will lead to meaningful systemic reform and set a precedent for holding municipalities accountable for maintaining essential public systems.

MoGo, along with co-counsel Briggs Law Corporation, filed a lawsuit against the City of San Diego on behalf of privacy advocates. The lawsuit alleges the City of San Diego violated its own Transparent and Responsible Use of Surveillance Technology (TRUST) Ordinance by deploying surveillance technologies, including Smart Street lights and Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) without proper approval or transparency.
