We were one of the first law firms to successfully handle a mesothelioma lawsuit. And, more than 30 years later, we’re still fighting on behalf of mesothelioma patients. Over the years we’ve built a national reputation as a leading mesothelioma law firm with a lengthy trackrecord of success for our clients. MORE INFO
We charge no money upfront to handle your case. We handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning that you can have access to legal help without having to pay any money out-of-pocket unless (and until) we achieve a successful result for you. MORE INFO
We went to the Supreme Court for you. When the individual rights of mesothelioma patients were threatened by some law firms and asbestos companies, we went to the United States Supreme Court and successfully fought to protect the rights of individuals to pursue separate lawsuits that consider their unique situations instead of having all asbestos cases lumped into class action settlements. We spent millions of dollars in uncompensated time and expenses on this case to protect the rights of asbestos victims. MORE INFO
We are not just a referral law firm. Not all law firms who advertise for mesothelioma cases actually practice law. Instead, these firms just gather up cases and send them to other law firms for the actual casework. We pride ourselves on continuing to actively litigate mesothelioma lawsuits today and remaining on the front lines of the legal battle against this horrible cancer. MORE INFO
