WHY CHOOSE BARON & BUDD?
We went to the Supreme Court for you. When the individual rights of mesothelioma victims were threatened by legislative attempts to make all of these cases class actions, we went to the United States Supreme Court and successfully fought to preserve the rights of individuals to file independent lawsuits. We were not compensated for this work but did it because our mission is to "Protect What's Right." MORE INFO
We are not just a referral law firm. Most people assume that every law firm that says they handle mesothelioma cases actually does the work themselves. But some firms simply advertise and then refer the cases to lawyers who handle the work-up and litigation. They refer their cases to firms like ours. At Baron & Budd, we work-up all aspects of our cases through trial, complex resolution and appeal. MORE INFO
We have a lengthy track record of successful results. For over 30 years we have been representing people with mesothelioma and have a lengthy track record of successful verdicts and settlements. Some of those results are included in this document. MORE INFO
We have an extensive database that will help your case. Having litigated thousands of cases all over the country, we have amassed the compelling documents that tell the true story of the asbestos industry: what they knew, how they purposefully hide the truth and how they valued profits over human life. MORE INFO
We handle mesothelioma cases on a contingency fee basis. The contingency fee arrangement means that you have access to legal help without having to pay for that help unless we are successful in obtaining financial compensation for you. MORE INFO
