Wildfires rage through California, leaving devastation in their wake—but the real disaster might be what comes next. Homeowners are finding their insurance policies canceled, landlords are raising rents overnight, and an alarming legal battle over price gouging is unfolding.

And if that weren’t enough, an IVF clinic made a catastrophic mistake: implanting the wrong embryo, leading to a mother unknowingly carrying and giving birth to someone else’s baby. Months later, the child was taken from her arms.

In the latest episode of Lawyer in Blue Jeans, Justin Isaac unpacks these shocking legal dilemmas and what they mean for you.

Insurance companies are abandoning California, making it nearly impossible for homeowners to protect their properties. Proposition 103 is supposed to keep rates in check, but is it actually driving insurers away? Justin explores the ripple effect that’s pushing costs through the roof and leaving Californians without coverage.

Meanwhile, price gouging charges are hitting landlords hard. Some are using the housing crisis as an excuse to jack up rents by 30% or more in fire-affected areas. But where does the law draw the line? And will these cases set a precedent?

Now, imagine this: You go through IVF, endure the emotional and physical toll, carry a baby to term, and then find out—this isn’t your child. That’s exactly what happened to one woman, and the legal questions are staggering. Does she have parental rights? Who should raise the baby? And who’s accountable for this life-altering mistake?

A Legal Mess with No Easy Answers; Justin dives into all these issues with his signature no-nonsense approach. What’s fair? What’s legal? And what should you do if you find yourself caught in a similar nightmare?

Don’t wait until these issues hit home—know your rights now and listen to the full episode!
