"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."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -
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."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos, Personal Injury and Malpractice -

"Family is very important to me. I come from meager beginnings and grew up in a single parent household. My mother didn’t go to college. But she worked hard.

These are the people I want to help."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -

"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."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -
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."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -

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."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -
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."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -

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."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -

"“For as long as I can remember, toxic tort litigation was the heart of the conversation at every Friday night family dinner. Specifically, my father, Arthur, would gush over the trajectory of his work helping the “people who built New York.” Dad would harp on how we help the forever-broken families who lost loved ones and also help the living individuals who are devastatingly and terminally ill. While I grew up dead-set on becoming a stand-up comedian, the importance of helping victims was heavily ingrained into me as a value and was also in my blood, casting me into the attorney that I now am. Now, as a lawyer for Weitz & Luxenberg, I not only feel fulfilled in being on the plaintiff’s side where I protect the lives of the injured, but I sit at my own family dinner table and share the same stories with my children that my father shared with me.”"Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -
