Elizabeth Luxenberg
Associate Attorney
"“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 -

Jamie L. Mattera
Associate Attorney
"As a child of small business owners and blue-collar workers, I have witnessed the importance of working hard firsthand. My parents are small business owners for over 40 years. 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. The biggest fear our clients have is, “What is going to happen to my family?” They have enough to worry about — I want to take that off their plate and make sure their families are provided for.

Brendan A. McDonough
ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
"Many of our clients’ lives will never be the same. They used a medical device such as a sleep apnea machine, hoping to get better, and instead suffered severe and unexpected injuries. For some clients, those injuries can include serious respiratory damage, illness, or even death. That’s why I am honored to be part of a team that works passionately on their behalf — to get them the compensation they deserve and to make the medical product companies think twice before gambling again with the well-being of decent people."Focus: Defective Drugs and Devices
