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 -

Venus Burns
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 -
