Polluted air increases the risk of heart disease in older women.
--Environmental Protection Agency, 2007 Research Report

A leader in the legal fight against environmental polluters, Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C. has worked with clients affected by Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE), asbestos, lead, fluoride, chromium, and PCE, among other toxins. We represent over fifty water providers whose wells have been contaminated with MTBE and many communities around the U.S. for the personal injuries and property damage they have suffered due to environmental pollution.

Weitz & Luxenberg has a long history of exposing polluters and championing citizens' rights to know about hidden dangers in their area, including scenarios where the contamination took place long ago, or where victims had all but assumed there was insufficient scientific evidence to bring forth a fight for justice.

BREAKING NEWS: 7.30.07--Attorney Ellen Relkin was elected Chair of the Section of Toxic, Environmental and Pharmaceutical Litigation of the American Association for Justice at the organization’s annual meeting this month.
