Top Jury Awards/Settlements

Our lawyers will fight hard to get you the financial compensation to which you are entitled. The jury awards and settlements we have received for our clients are among the highest in the country.

A Dedicated Team Assigned to Maximize Recovery from Asbestos Trusts

Over 65 Asbestos Trusts have been setup with billions of dollars set aside to compensate mesothelioma victims. ELSM has an entire department dedicated to recovering funds quickly from these trusts on your behalf.
