If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma you may be wondering how to choose a mesothelioma lawyer that can provide you with the best possible representation. When deciding on a lawyer there are some important things to keep in mind. At the Halpern Law Firm we think it is important that the law firm that represents you has:

Knowledge and Experience about Mesothelioma Cases
We have filed thousands of cases for asbestos-related disease victims. We normally file cases in Philadelphia and Allegheny County and are very familiar with those court systems. When thinking about how to choose a mesothelioma lawyer it is beneficial to choose a law firm that knows about asbestos litigation to maximize compensation. In most circumstances cases settle prior to going to court. We have over 57 years of combined experience specifically in asbestos litigation.
Specialization in Mesothelioma Cases
One of the most important, if not the most important component of choosing a mesothelioma lawyer is picking a firm to represent you that specializes in asbestos cases. There are many personal injury firms that do asbestos cases but do not specialize in asbestos litigation. It is important to recognize this distinction. These cases can be extremely nuanced from going over work history to figuring out what products you were exposed to that contained asbestos. A mesothelioma law firm will have the knowledge to know which products regularly contained asbestos and will be able to find viable defendants.
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer in which treatment can be very costly. There is currently no cure, however, there is ongoing research being done to try to determine the best possible treatment options for victims. Receiving compensation for your diagnosis can help pay for things like medical expenses and lost wages. At the Halpern Law Firm we believe that those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma deserve justice. We believe in holding big companies accountable for negligently exposing their employees to a carcinogen and we fight for our clients.
