Paraquat is a highly toxic chemical herbicide primarily used to control weeds and grasses. A clear medical link has been established between exposure to paraquat…
Weitz & Luxenberg has continued to build on this tradition of success, growing as a firm both in size and resources. W&L today has over 100 attorneys working in world-class facilities located in New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, and Cherry Hill, N.J., outside of Philadelphia.
"My job as a plaintiff’s lawyer is to seek justice on behalf of people injured by defective products or fraudulent conduct, and to help them regain at least some of what they’ve lost. Success in that regard requires approaching each case with a meticulously planned strategy, intimate knowledge of the law, and tireless dedication to the job."
Focus: Defective Drugs and Devices, Environmental Pollution
"When tragedies occur due to the irresponsible practices of corporations, Weitz & Luxenberg is there to help the victims, whether the crisis happens on a national scale or in a small community. Working alongside dedicated and creative attorneys is an honor, and I appreciate being a part of our team’s efforts to make things right for those who have suffered terrible hardships through no fault of their own."
"Perry [Weitz] has never done anything but encourage us to spend whatever it takes to do the very best job, because he was a trial lawyer. If anything, he’ll say, ‘Why didn’t you do another focus group? Why didn’t you spend more money to prepare? Why not do more?’ It’s not just that they don’t say ‘no.’ They actually encourage you to do everything that you can to win."
Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos, Defective Drugs and Devices, Personal Injury and Malpractice, Environmental Pollution
"Much of my law career has been devoted to investigations of corporate wrongdoing, leading either to criminal prosecutions or the litigation of consumer class actions and/or environmental enforcement cases. My underlying goal in environmental litigations is protecting the environment and obtaining relief for the people who become sick or whose property is damaged because of industry pollution that could and should have been avoided. And when consumers are harmed by dangerous products, have their privacy breached by inadequate corporate security, or suffer harm from other corporate misdeeds, I strive to seek just compensation for the victims of these wrongful acts. I am very proud of what I have been able to accomplish on behalf of victims of corporate greed."
"Our clients’ lives have been forever changed by cancer because a corporation consciously decided not to warn them of a product’s dangers. I feel privileged to be a part of a team dedicated to achieving the justice our clients deserve."
"I love advocating for our clients in numbers that directly impact their settlement checks and judgment awards — letting them know everything is resolved and hearing them say, “Thank you so much.” But even more, I want them to know the firm never stops working for them. In all that we do, we are advocating for them from start to finish."

"The cause of mesothelioma is no mystery. It is the result of negligence—and sometimes even malice— on the part of a corporation that cared only about enriching itself at the expense of its employees and customers. I help the victims of mesothelioma track down the corporations responsible for inflicting this terrible cancer upon them. And, once those culpable businesses are found, I then help see that they are brought to justice. With great pride I do this as an associate attorney with the law firm ranked #1 in the country by U.S. News & World Report for personal injury and mass tort claims."
"When Perry Weitz and I founded this firm in 1986, we took the position that every client’s case would be treated as if it were the most important because we believe every client deserves his or her lawyer’s diligent attention, compassion, and excellence. We had but one goal: providing exemplary, custom-tailored legal service. Nothing has changed since the beginning, except that we’re now the largest mass-tort and personal injury litigation law firm in New York City and a powerhouse of legal innovation on the national scene as a result of holding fast to our founding principles.
We find ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity of practicing law at its highest level for America’s most vulnerable citizens as well as furthering ambitious philanthropic and social initiatives."

"A win for our clients is incredibly gratifying. For me, having a client say “thank you for giving me a voice and ensuring that my story was heard” is especially rewarding. From the very beginning, when I meet with clients, I encourage them to tell me their story, their truth. Their narratives stay with me throughout the litigation. I want to give our clients a voice and to be their advocate — one that will pursue justice and hold the companies, who put their lives at risk, accountable."
"I have been fortunate enough to spend my entire legal career dedicated to the protection of the public. Whether it was through consumer advocacy on behalf of utility company ratepayers, targeting illegal price gouging in the pharmaceuticals industry, attacking corporate mismanagement and fraud on behalf of shareholders or litigating against corporate polluters who foul our land and poison our water, the underlying theme has always been the same: companies that take advantage of the public and behave irresponsibly should be taken to task and held responsible."
"There is nothing wrong with corporations making a profit — as long as they don’t endanger lives and the environment in the process. Weitz & Luxenberg has been at the forefront of the battle to bring environmental tortfeasors to justice. I’m proud to be part of that on-going fight."
"When I joined forces with Arthur Luxenberg many years ago, we created a firm dedicated to protecting workers’ rights and the legal rights of the disadvantaged while, at the same time, returning something back to the people of New York. Our employees take great pride in knowing that the Weitz & Luxenberg law firm is so often associated with charitable causes and activities. Our efforts are motivated by the firm’s commitment to give something back to the communities in which we live and work."
