James Bilsborrow

Focus: Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection
John McN. Broaddus

Associate Attorney

"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
Nancy Christensen

Associate Attorney

"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."

Robert J. Gordon

Of Counsel

"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
Robin L. Greenwald

PARTNER and PRACTICE GROUP CO-CHAIR

"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."

Focus: Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection
Josh Kristal

Associate Attorney

"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."

Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos, Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection, Trafficking & Abuse
Arthur Luxenberg

Co-Founding Member

"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."

Joseph J. Mandia

Associate Attorney

"When I represent a client, I know I’m finding them at one of their most trying times. I attempt to put myself in their shoes. I do it so that I can fight for them, like I would for one of my own family members in the same situation."

Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos, Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection
Colin Markel

Associate Attorney

"When it comes to our clients, I’m dedicated to finding the best way to help them. I use all my skills to make the processes they have to go through as easy as possible"

Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos, Defective Drugs and Devices, Personal Injury and Malpractice, Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection, Trafficking & Abuse
Kristen B. Miller

Associate Attorney

"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."

Focus: Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection
Paul F. Novak

Managing Attorney

"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."

William A. Walsh

Associate Attorney

"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."

Focus: Environmental Pollution
Perry Weitz

Co-Founding Member

"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."
