Showing Results For: Mesothelioma and Asbestos

Sheharyar Ali

Associate Attorney

"Talcum powder contaminated with asbestos is something I take very personally. My mother used Johnson & Johnson baby powder for years. And I can’t imagine putting a lotion on my 17-month-old son, only to discover years later he developed cancer from that very substance. The thought is extremely unsettling. No company should get away with this type of behavior. Companies which knowingly put people’s lives at risk should be held accountable."

Phan Alvarado

Associate Attorney

"Many of my clients are or were steamfitters. So is my husband — he’s a steamfitter, too. Being married to one makes me that much more connected to the work I do on behalf of asbestos-exposure victims — and that much more passionate about seeing justice done for them. I know exactly how hard these guys work. I also know how enraging it is for them — after having spent decades toiling and building for their retirements — to now be fighting to stay alive instead of enjoying their sunset years doing the things they always dreamed about doing. It’s not fair at all that they’ve been robbed of their retirement dreams by toxic substances. I’m grateful for the opportunity to try and make things right for them."

"Weitz & Luxenberg Los Angeles is able to get great results for so many clients because, one, we have people with the right blend of credentials and backgrounds and, two, we enjoy national reach through our offices in New York, New Jersey and other locations, which cumulatively gives us leverage that’s hard to equal. As for me, personally, there aren’t too many jobs where you really get to help hard-working people who are so deserving. Asbestos cancer shatters people’s lives. I can’t make the injury or its consequences go away, but I can help give them back some of their lost dignity and stolen worth."

Rett D.B. Bergmark

Associate Attorney

"Weitz & Luxenberg goes up against the most nefarious, reckless corporations. These corporations care about one thing and one thing only — making money. Their employees’ welfare never enters their mind. When I achieve a settlement for my clients and take money from the defendants, I don’t lose any sleep. The way I see it, these corporations owe my clients big time — they put my clients’ lives in danger in order to make a profit and now it’s time to pay up."

Erin M. Boyle

Associate Attorney

"Our clients are good people who spent the majority of their lives working tirelessly to provide for their families. Unfortunately, some companies were more concerned about money than human life. These companies made conscious decisions causing countless people to be exposed to asbestos, a known carcinogen that can poison people. What they did is wrong. I am dedicated to fighting for our clients and their families. I want to give them a voice and use the legal process to help them any way I can."

Ambre Brandis

Associate Attorney

"The most satisfying aspect of my work as an asbestos attorney is helping families. For the most part, these families are blue collar. I come from a blue-collar family — my father, grandfathers, uncles, and cousins, all of them had blue-collar jobs. I know that these men work extremely hard to support their families. It distresses me that the manufacturers of the products, equipment and materials didn’t take the time to warn these men of the dangers of asbestos. I understand that filing a lawsuit can be a stressful experience and I do my best to make sure my clients feel as comfortable as possible. I treat every client the way I would want my dad or grandfather to be treated."

Patti L. Burshtyn

Associate Attorney

"The personal relationships I develop with my clients are the most satisfying aspect of my work. Even though it’s heartbreaking to work with cancer victims — most of whom are very sick and will at some point pass away — it’s my responsibility to help them because this is their time of true need. They were only doing their jobs, yet they fell prey to one of the asbestos cancers — and it happened because irresponsible companies chose to gamble with their health. They won’t get back their health, but as their attorney I can help give them peace of mind in knowing that their families will be financially secure. And I’m glad that I can make the process of suing less intimidating. Being able to make people’s lives a little better at a terrible time, that’s the aspect of being a lawyer that makes me most proud."

My goal is to see to it that the companies responsible for causing asbestos exposure injuries are held accountable. To me, nothing is more rewarding than bringing about that accountability. Working at Weitz & Luxenberg, a law firm that truly understands what it takes to win, makes success in the quest for accountability possible."

Courtney L. Chlebina

Associate Attorney

"I’m so happy to be back at Weitz & Luxenberg. Before law school, I had the opportunity to work at W&L and become familiar with the important work our firm does to help good, decent, hard-working people whose quality of life was taken away by exposure to asbestos. These large corporations knew they were putting people’s health at risk, but they didn’t care because money was more important to them than the value of human life. These companies need to be held accountable for their actions. I am dedicated to helping clients and their families seek justice in this difficult time."

Thomas M. Comerford

Associate Attorney

"The practice of law in the context of mass-tort litigation is, in practical reality, a dynamic, communal activity, and necessarily so, for the needs of our clients demand a law firm capable of highly focused, precise, and timely legal work to right the devastating wrongs they have experienced at the hands of those interests responsible. Weitz & Luxenberg has assembled a uniquely effective, collegial, litigation team that is equipped to provide meaningful help to our clients and their families who demand justice. I am honored to have a hand in it."

Leonard F. Feldman

Associate Attorney

"Our typical client is a man who has worked his whole life to provide for his family — he didn’t do anything wrong, and yet he ends up with this awful disease. Money can never fully compensate him for the loss of his health. But, often, a client will tell us that it is a great comfort to him, knowing that even though he is sick, he is still providing for his family through the settlements and verdicts we obtain on his behalf. Our team works to make sure that our client’s lifetime efforts to support his family are not in vain. Personally, I‘m involved in every step of the litigation, right from the very start. We have a close working relationship with experts in the field who treat asbestos-related diseases, which helps both in court and in helping clients gain access to the best medical care available."

Weitz & Luxenberg’s attorneys are renowned for their extraordinary trial skills, but, even more than that, they have great compassion for the people they’re here to help."

"Most people would be amazed by the amount of preparation that goes into asbestos exposure and environmental toxic tort litigations. Thinking painstakingly about the correct approach for each case, and developing the right theory, and all of the research this involves, are the keys to getting a great result. Research into the facts of each case, the legal principles and decisions, and the types of experts who should be retained, are just the beginning. I find it very rewarding to participate in this outstanding project as a member of the Weitz & Luxenberg litigation team."

"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."

It’s horrible and I want to do everything I can legally to help them."

"When working with clients harmed through the actions and decisions of others, two main goals come to mind. First, our clients deserve financial justice. I want to make sure they and their families are provided for. They deserve at least that. But, ultimately, I want these companies to stop their hurtful conduct and harmful practices so people don’t continue to become sick. This shouldn’t happen to anyone."

Associate Attorney, Trusts and Estates

"Properly administering an estate is critical, particularly with cases involving asbestos exposure. Many clients have Last Will and Testaments prepared, while others unfortunately don’t get around to it. Either way, we’re here to pick up the pieces when all is said and done. We cannot undo the damage done through the actions of negligent companies, but we can offer our clients some reassurance their families will be provided for. We can give them some measure of financial security by carefully assisting them through the estate process."

"The executives at companies that manufacture products containing asbestos may smile, put on a friendly face, and try to charm you. But we’ve known since the early 1900s asbestos is harmful. These corporations shouldn’t be able to get away with trying to pull the wool over our eyes. That’s why Weitz & Luxenberg is so important and why I feel privileged to be here. We need to stand up for the people who have been marginalized by the system and not let these unscrupulous companies get away with endangering people’s lives."

"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."

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.
