Kruger Law Firm In Sacramento Lobbying For Impacted Residents Of Chiquita Landfill
On Thursday, March 27, 2025, Kruger Law Firm traveled to Sacramento to lobby the Calif State Legislature, Calif Air Resources Board, and Governor Newsom’s office on behalf of residents affected by Chiquita Landfill
Nathan Kruger (Kruger Law Firm) and Nima Sadeghi (Kiesel Law) were honored to join Oshea Orchid (Sethi Orchid Miner), non-profit Citizens for Chiquita Canyon Closure, and Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo, who all spearheaded the trip, to accomplish the following:
- DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY
The LA Board of Supervisors or the Governor need to activate funding that can help residents relocate, manage loans, and cover expensive healthcare costs. - SUPPORT CALIF. ASM. SCHIAVO’S BILLS — AB 27 and 28
The state legislature must approve funding to support these bills that would provide tax relief and State funds for relocation assistance. - STRENGTHEN LANDFILL REGULATIONS
The California Air Resources Board needs to strengthen landfill emissions regulations to protect communities now. Regulators must ensure that landfill operators are held to high standards for controlling emissions.

Client Testimonials
I am so thrilled with all of the hard work Jackie and her firm committed to me and my case. Since the beginning of the case, Jackie made me feel so at ease. Her wonderful staff made the entire legal process so easy. And, she not only met my expectations, she exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Jackie to any of my friends.

I know I did not have the easiest case in the world...especially since the other party was totally outta whack. When I came into Jackie's office, I had no expectations of any sort, but to help me with this nightmare. I was not expecting an overnight miracle. Yes, it was a long and arduous journey, but in the end, we received the best possible outcome and I was always kept in the loop about everything. Thank you ...

I can't say enough how much I appreciate Jackie's help with my severance agreement. She took the time to have a long meeting with me in person and really made me feel safe and reassured that everything was going to be ok with a very upsetting employment separation. Her assistant Priscilla was great as well, fielding my phone calls and emails and always getting back to me! Thanks Kruger Law Firm!

Ok so I Yelp (if that is an activity) all over town on my motorcycle and was hit in South Pasadena by a wierd driver who just wasnt paying attention. I went with the first lawyer that I was told to call because any Lawyer is as good as another right? Wrong!!! The difference is incredible. Jackie made me feel like she wants to help a family member get what is fair for them and thats all I want...

I typically do not write reviews on Yelp, but I had such an amazing experience with Jackie Kruger and her legal team that I feel compelled to share my experience. I found myself in a very difficult legal and financial situation as a victim of identity fraud and knew I needed legal help but had no idea what the first step was. A friend recommended that I give Jackie Kruger a call...

I have complicated legal issues with my employer, and Jackie Kruger has been handling my case with so much care and personal attention! We even carpooled to a court appointment together, (and as strange as this may sound) we had the best time! She explained every last detail to me and treated me like a friend and not just my attorney! I highly recommend this law firm! The entire staff is attentive and available all the time!

I have found The Kruger Law Firm to be a great group of intelligent individuals. From day one, they were knowledgeable, realistic and thorough with my case. This created a foundation for unwavering confidence in them and their abilities through the arduous process of seeking justice. And in the end justice was found.
I would recommend The Kruger Law Firm to an associate, friend or family member.
I thank you again for all of your hard work.
Philip Trusela
Her work is focused and thoughtful.She is a good thinker..Both analytic and creative. I have sent her a number of people and they report that she was concise and comforting, the latter is almost impossible to find. She is very concise and forceful in court. Solid person and good soul.
Michael Lebow
The Kruger Law Firm represented me in an employment issue and I am extremely satisfied with the service I received, as well as the outcome. I felt confident in the firm's knowledge and experience, as they helped me navigate a situation that was very unfamiliar to me. Jackie's level of expertise in employment, specific to my case especially, was demonstrated in her approach and persistence. Her team was very communicative and responsive, which is a number one priority in any client service. I highly recommend The Kruger Law Firm and would consult with them again if needed.
Mihaela Mustac
I thank Jackie Kruger and her stuff for everything she's done for me They worked very hard to get the best possible settlement for me when I got wrongfully terminated. Jackie Kruger eased the pain and stress I had at the time;. I didn't know my rights and Jackie Kruger explained everything to me. She answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything. I felt that they cared about my situation. I received above my exceptions and I am not just talking about the settlement but also about the whole process.
I would definitely recommend the Kruger Law Firm to friends and family.
