How do I choose the right mesothelioma lawyer?

Look for a dedicated asbestos team, verifiable case results, and willingness to file trust claims and lawsuits in parallel.

Can I pursue trust funds and a lawsuit at the same time?

Yes. They are separate paths and are commonly pursued in parallel to maximize recovery.

Do VA benefits reduce my lawsuit or trust recovery?

No. VA disability benefits are independent of private claims, and many veterans pursue both.

Is there a deadline to file mesothelioma claims?

Yes. The statute of limitations is strict and varies by state. Speak with a qualified attorney as soon as possible.

What if I don’t remember exactly where I was exposed?

That’s common. We investigate work history, military service, and known exposure sites nationwide.

Do I have to sue someone?

Not necessarily. Most claims are resolved through asbestos bankruptcy trust funds.

Testimonials from Past Asbestos Claims

"With my husband passing away so many details needed to be taken care of. The attorneys have always taken their time with us when I didn’t understand the paperwork and explained everything in language that I can understand."

"When diagnosed with mesothelioma, they treated me with respect, while offering knowledgeable medical guidance, and providing clear, comprehensible legal advice. I highly recommend their legal services."

"The doctors I met said there was nothing that could be done for me. One said I should make funeral arrangements. You directed me to the right doctor and so here I am. You guys were my lifesaver."

"I was truly lost and did not know which way to go when I was diagnosed. Thankfully, your organization came to my rescue. The full information packet, as well as DVD's, have helped me and my family understand this terrible cancer."

“There aren’t enough words to describe how much our family appreciates everything you have done for us since we met 4 years ago. I feel a very special bond between us that will continue for a very long time.”

“The claim that Danziger & De Llano made resulted in payments that have allowed me to secure my retirement and set up a fund for my grandchildren. With the amount left over, our family plans to make a charitable donation.”
