ELSM has served mesothelioma victims for over 40 years. While handling over 1300 mesothelioma cases within our own office and over 2800 others by co-counseling with carefully selected partner firms around the country, we have unique knowledge regarding which firms have a history of success given particular case profiles, employers, asbestos exposure histories and jurisdictions.
We pride ourselves on the results we have achieved for our clients over the years but also know there are cases in which partnering with another top firm have garnered even better results for our clients.
