Showing Results For: Mesothelioma and Asbestos

Benno Ashrafi

PARTNER

"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."

TRIAL ATTORNEY

"Mesothelioma and other asbestos related diseases cause unimaginable pain and loss for victims and their families. This pain and suffering could have been avoided if companies prioritized human life and safety over profit. I cannot make the pain and suffering go away, but I can fight tirelessly to make sure my clients’ stories are heard. I help them achieve some measure of justice."

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."

Associate Attorney

"I represent people who have been injured as a result of asbestos exposure. I also represent their families because the injury usually extends to them as well. 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."

Benjamin T. Clinton

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

"I have long opposed corporate America and their wrong doings. One of my main driving forces for staying with our great firm for so long is I need to represent the people against the corporations — for the harms their malfeasance has caused to the very fabric of our society. The need to obtain recoveries for my clients, and to continue to punish and deter these corporations from committing future wrongs, are my driving forces."

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."

Benjamin Darche

"One of the most important things to know about Weitz & Luxenberg is that all the attorneys really care about their clients. They want the same things that their clients want: justice. Caring attorneys, a desire to see the right things done. That’s a winning combination."

"When someone is diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease such as lung cancer or mesothelioma it is my job to help the victim and his or her family members obtain justice against the product manufacturers who negligently caused such harm. It gives me great pleasure to help my clients receive substantial financial compensation from these manufacturers to pay for medical bills, make up for lost wages, and provide reparation for pain and suffering."

"In every aspect, of every case, with every client — I focus on treating those that entrust us with their most sensitive matters to that of how I would my own family. Everything we strive for — it’s all about our clients. They are good people who find themselves in extremely difficult situations and fighting for justice for them is the most rewarding part of my job."

"My favorite part about working at Weitz & Luxenberg is helping people and getting to know our clients and their families. These relationships are everything. Our clients become like family to me. I can’t undo the damage that has been done, but I want to do everything I can legally to achieve the best possible outcome for them. Even after their case is resolved, I like to stay in touch."

Michael Fanelli

Associate Attorney

"Our clients worked their entire lives supporting their families. They looked forward to their Golden Years. Corporate greed and irresponsibility took that away from them. I work tirelessly to ensure that our clients do not have to worry about the financial hardships and burdens that come along with a diagnosis of mesothelioma or lung cancer."

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."

PARTNER and DIRECTOR, APPELLATE LITIGATION UNIT

"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."

"Our clients worked their whole life to take care of their families. They looked forward to retirement when they could spend more time with their families and watch their grandchildren grow up. But the companies they worked for exposed them to asbestos. Now, instead of enjoying their retirement, our clients must undergo surgeries and procedures to deal with a disease they never should have gotten. It’s horrible and I want to do everything I can legally to help them."

Cody M. Greenes

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

"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."

Matthew A. Grubman

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

"What drives me every day is knowing uncaring companies are doing what they’re doing. Their objective is to make money. People’s lives and health don’t figure into the equation for them. And that’s exactly why I do what I do, why Weitz & Luxenberg does what it does. We go after the companies putting lives in danger. We use every legal strategy available, do our due diligence, and give everything we’ve got to achieve the best results for our clients. That means getting you the compensation you deserve."

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."

"It’s difficult to quantify the value of the help we offer to our clients. Yes, of course, one measure is the size of our verdicts and settlements — over $7 billion at last count. But how do you quantify the value of simply being there to offer comfort, support, and encouragement to someone who is dying of mesothelioma or one of the other asbestos cancers?"

Jeffrey S. Kanca

Associate Attorney

"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."

"Not only does Weitz & Luxenberg provide excellent legal services, and obtain settlements and verdict values probably significantly greater than most law firms, but the lawyers here really care about the clients that we represent — blue-collar workers, the men and women who built this country, who went to work every day just trying to earn a living for their families, and many decades later had the misfortune of being diagnosed with a horrible disease. We’re here to represent them and try to right the wrongs that have been done to them."

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."

"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."

I have seen what it is like to work exceptionally hard your entire life. I know the sacrifices our clients have made for their families.

"Talc baby powder was as ubiquitous as water. It was sold everywhere — marketed as safe, pure, and healthy for infants. And everyone used it, or knew someone that did.

That’s why I’m here — to help our clients who suffered grievous personal injury due to this evil."
