As a local Massachusetts law firm dedicated to pursuing justice on behalf of clients suffering from mesothelioma and lung cancer due to asbestos exposure, we are always grateful for your referrals. If your legal practice focuses on other areas of law and you have clients who may be personally suffering from these diseases, or have family members or friends affected by the illness or death of a loved one, we would be more than happy to talk to them about a potential claim.
Trusted Expertise
Mesothelioma: Attorneys at Shepard OʼDonnell have held the role of Plaintiffsʼ Liaison Counsel for the Massachusetts Asbestos Litigation docket since 2017, playing an important role in fighting for the rights of mesothelioma victims. We know the Massachusetts laws, the judges, and the defense attorneys on the other side of many of these cases. We know the full range of potential defendants and have gathered a substantial amount of evidence – some of which is proprietary to our firm – regarding all of the local job sites known to have caused asbestos exposure, including paper mills, navy ships, powerhouses, shipyards, office buildings and more. We are well-versed in the history of asbestos use in the state and are known and trusted advisors in the local community.
Lung Cancer: When one of your clients or potential clients is diagnosed with lung cancer, the first question asked is usually, “Did you smoke cigarettes?” And while it is true that the majority of lung cancer diagnoses are due to prior smoking, another potential cause is often overlooked: asbestos exposure. Persons who were exposed to asbestos have a greater risk of developing lung cancer, regardless of their smoking history. Asbestos exposure combined with smoking has a synergistic effect that multiplies the risk of lung cancer. If your client has been diagnosed with lung cancer and may have been exposed to asbestos in the past, call us today and we can work with you to see if there is the potential for an asbestos-related lung cancer lawsuit and recovery.
We Make it Easy
With a large and busy practice of your own, it may be daunting to try to identify all of your current or former clients who might benefit from a conversation with us.
To facilitate the process, we would be happy to provide you with a draft form letter that you can send to your client base on your own letterhead, informing them of our expertise. Specifically, the letter would let clients know that you could refer them to trusted counsel in an area of law that you yourself do not practice, but one that they might benefit from.
