Pioneers of mesothelioma litigation in New York and New Jersey
Since the 1970s, our founding partners were pioneers in championing the rights of asbestos and mesothelioma victims. In fact, Stan Levy was the first personal injury attorney in the Northeast to pursue an asbestos case and one of the first mesothelioma lawyers in the country.
Later in 1985, he and the founding partners Steven Phillips and Alan Konigsberg formed the law firm with a mission to apply their remarkable legal expertise to seek justice and financial compensation on behalf of asbestos and mesothelioma victims not only in New York and New Jersey, but across the entire nation.

Massive knowledge of asbestos law and science
Since the 1980s, the law firm has evolved into a nationwide powerhouse for mesothelioma litigation in the U.S. Our mesothelioma lawyers have represented numerous individuals and groups of workers and won for them multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts.
Understanding the science of asbestos exposure is an invaluable resource. One of the many benefits of our early involvement in mesothelioma litigation is our access to pioneering researchers and experts in this complex and ever-changing medical field. We put these experts to work on behalf of our clients, in the courtroom and in treatment of their disease.
Since then, our lawyers have amassed considerable knowledge of asbestos-related diseases and the law that applies to them. Our mesothelioma attorneys have combined that knowledge and expertise into a powerful resource for our mesothelioma clients and their family members.

Individual approach and attention to every case
Unfortunately, many law firms today use a generalized approach to handling cases of the same type, even those as complex as mesothelioma cases. With a goal of cutting back on the time spent on each case, they use broad brush practices and techniques to process cases as fast as they can often risking the possibility of missing important details in a case and thus undermining the goal of negotiating the best possible compensation for their clients. Contrary to such mentality, we treat every mesothelioma case as if it was our only one. We investigate each case with a team of lawyers, paralegals, and leading experts in the field, while being in constant communication with the clients, to ensure that we have done everything we could to reach the full potential of each individual case.

Here, at Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP, our New Jersey mesothelioma attorneys & New York mesothelioma lawyers do everything possible to avoid delays and move our cases as quickly as we can.

ATTENTION:
Mesothelioma has no known cure and often causes severe pain, suffering, and other types of damage, such as loss of consortium, and loss of income. Additionally, due to the exceedingly high cost of mesothelioma treatments, many families exhaust savings and accumulate financial debt in order to pay for the medical expenses of their family member.
Under New York and New Jersey law, pain and suffering from mesothelioma, as well as other types of damages, may be compensated through the award of money damages, usually obtained with the help of experienced New York and New Jersey mesothelioma attorneys.
Asbestos litigation affords mesothelioma victims the opportunity to receive financial compensation and hold accountable the companies that caused their asbestos exposure.
IMPORTANT:
If you or your family member has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should get in touch with a mesothelioma lawyer as early as possible to determine if you have a mesothelioma case and to:
- Preserve your rights to bring a legal action against the responsible parties within the limited time frame allowed by law, known as statute of limitations;
- Obtain maximum compensation in your case by being able to:
- Preserve evidence and establish facts of the asbestos exposure while the claimant is still alive and able to provide information;
- File and resolve a lawsuit against the responsible parties before they file for bankruptcy or, if they already have, to obtain compensation before their bankruptcy trust funds run out of money;
- Expedite your case, as courts in New York and New Jersey tend to give higher priority to mesothelioma lawsuits where the claimant is still alive.
Find out whether you have a case by speaking to one of our experienced New Jersey and New York mesothelioma lawyers via our 24/7 toll-free hotline at 1-866-MESO-LAW (1-866-637-6529) or by submitting an email inquiry (see form above).
