How does ELSM differentiate itself from other law firms that also file asbestos lawsuits?

At Early, Lucarelli, Sweeney and Meisenkothen our clients are our number one priority. We purposely limit the number of asbestos cases that we take on to ensure that our clients receive the first class individualized attention that they need and deserve. We are experts in asbestos law and have been focusing in this area for over 20 years.

 Each case is handled individually and an attorney and legal assistant are personally assigned to each and every case. Your assigned legal team will be with you throughout the entire process. Other law firms take on so many cases that they lose the ability to offer that personal touch to their clients. That is an area that we will absolutely not compromise on at ELSM.

Another differentiating factor is that we handle our mesothelioma lawsuits with a comprehensive approach. By this we mean that we handle cases from both a legal and medical perspective. We realize that in many instances our clients are still receiving medical care for their illness and are interested in knowing about the latest medical research as it relates to their disease. We are well represented at all of the major medical conferences that provide information on the latest technological breakthroughs and treatment options available to patients with mesothelioma.

 We maintain relationships with medical professionals who specialize in asbestos related illness and, when applicable, will share relevant treatment information with our clients.
Lastly, we realize how critical it is to know the companies who made the asbestos products that have harmed our clients. We make it a point to regularly update our knowledge databases with the latest information on the companies who sold asbestos products knowing that they could cause cancer.
Utilizing this three-pronged approach, we have brought numerous asbestos cases to trial and have won multi-million dollar awards for our clients.

If Early, Lucarelli, Sweeney and Meisenkothen only has offices in New York and Connecticut and I live in another state or on the West Coast would I be better off hiring a local lawyer instead?

The answer in most instances is "No". As noted above, the breadth and depth of expertise that we bring to asbestos litigation will most likely never be matched by a smaller local law firm. We have been handling asbestos cases for over 20 years and bring that experience and knowledge to each case we take on. Also, living in another state or another coast does not require that you hire a local lawyer and in most cases would not be the wisest choice.

 This is because asbestos lawsuit values can be higher in some jurisdictions like New York City as those jurisdictions value asbestos claims more. There may also be situations where asbestos exposure occurred in more than one state.



The attorneys at Early, Lucarelli, Sweeney and Meisenkothen are experts in determining the most advantageous place to file a lawsuit. There are choices. We can help you make the wisest choice so that you can rest comfortably knowing that the asbestos case we file is worth the most money. If we determine that it is in the best interest of the case to file it in another state we partner with a local attorney from the extensive mesothelioma attorney network that we have developed over the last 20 years. 



In this case you can be assured that not one, but two experienced and knowledgeable law firms are responsible for your case at no additional charge to you.

Successful asbestos ligation requires an attorney who understands the many facets of the case, from how people get exposed to asbestos to the state-by-state regulations about filing lawsuits, to the fragile nature of many clients. Often, people who inquire about an asbestos-related claim are people who are also coping with mesothelioma cancer and all the health issues that go along with treatment.

Choosing a lawyer to represent you in depositions and in legal filings can be as important to your family's future as selecting the right doctor. If were you exposed to asbestos and you got sick as a result, you have a right to stake a claim for compensation.
The dangers and toxicity of asbestos were well-known in the 1930s, yet corporations continued using it extensively through much of the 20th century. They willingly put profits ahead of the health and well-being of employees and the public. An experienced asbestos lawyer will know how to hold those corporations responsible.



How Attorneys Help in Asbestos Cases



Mesothelioma claims are different from other workplace injuries in a couple of ways. They fall into a special area of the law because the injuries that are in question do not typically occur because of an accident or sudden event. Instead exposure to asbestos takes place over time, with an illness developing 20 to 50 years later. This is why a qualified mesothelioma attorney makes sense for someone considering litigation or a trust claim.
