"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?"Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -

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."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -

"We have a tireless commitment to fight against the harm caused by exposure to asbestos. It’s a good fight, a worthy fight. The men and women who built this country deserve to be compensated by the companies who put them in their unfortunate situation, and that’s why we do what we do here."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos, Defective Drugs and Devices, Personal Injury and Malpractice -

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
"Years after my grandfather passed, I learned he died from mesothelioma. He worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and was likely exposed to asbestos every day. He was a hardworking blue-collar guy, like our clients. This stays with me. We need firms like Weitz & Luxenberg with the power, resources, and reputation to stand up to big monied interests and hold them accountable for their negligent actions. Our clients deserve justice, and we are their last line of defense."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos
