Choosing a Mesothelioma Lawyer

Choosing a mesothelioma lawyer to represent you in your lawsuit is a very personal decision. You should feel good about the people at the law firm that you deal with and be satisfied with their answers to your questions before you hire a lawyer.

When deciding to hire an attorney for any kind of legal service, you should feel confident that they have the experience and knowledge to represent you well. You might ask the following questions of potential mesothelioma lawyers who would represent you in an asbestos case:

• How long has your firm been handling this type of case?
• How many mesothelioma cases do you handle currently?
• How many mesothelioma cases have you handled?
• Will your law firm actually work on my case or will you refer my case to another law firm? If you are likely to refer my case elsewhere, what is the name of the law firm(s) that you might send my case to?
• How many cases like mine has your law firm actually taken to trial? What kind of verdicts have you obtained in such cases? Are these verdicts your law firm personally obtained? If another law firm obtained these results, what is the name of that firm?
• If you take a case to trial, will an attorney from your law firm actually be responsible for representing me at trial, or will you hire an attorney from outside your firm to handle the trial?
• In the event an appeal is necessary in my case, do you have lawyers at your firm who dedicate much of their time to appellate and legal issues work? What is your law firm’s track record for successfully handling appeals?

With these issues in mind, we invite you to consider Baron & Budd, P.C. We believe that you will be impressed by our experience, track record, reputation in the legal community and the caring, friendly attention you will receive from our mesothelioma lawyers and staff.

As one of the oldest and largest law firms of its kind in the country, Baron & Budd, P.C. has a lot of experience representing victims of diseases caused by asbestos and other toxic substances. We have the experience and resources to handle your case from start to finish. With attorneys who focus on trial skills and presentation of a case to the jury, as well as attorneys who focus on legal briefing and arguing legal issues to trial and appellate judges, we are ready to be your advocates at every stage.

Trial skills

At Baron & Budd, we have attorneys who devote their practice to trial work and have won major trial victories. Only a small subset of attorneys develop the trial skills needed to successfully present a client’s case to a jury. Our trial attorneys focus their time and energy on developing these skills. In addition, they know intimately the issues that arise in mesothelioma cases.

We believe that our trial attorneys are invaluable in helping us obtain an optimal outcome for our clients. Even if you prefer to settle out of court, a strong trial record helps a law firm negotiate a good recovery for its clients. Don’t be afraid to ask a potential law firm interested in your case about their trial record.

Legal briefing

Baron & Budd has designated mesothelioma lawyers who devote their time to appeals, legal research and briefing legal issues. Baron & Budd’s historical investment in and commitment to legal briefing have made it a force in asbestos litigation for decades. Because of the law firm’s reputation for strong legal briefing, our attorneys have been honored to represent amici curiae before a variety of appellate courts, including the United States Supreme Court. Amici curiae, or “friends of the court,” are nonparties who offer their considerable experience and knowledge on an important legal issue to a reviewing court.

The strength and value of this focus on legal briefing is reflected in our appellate legal victories.

If, after an evaluation of your case, we feel your case would be better served if filed in a state where we do not practice or usually file cases, we might recommend a law firm in that state with experience in asbestos cases. Such a referral will be made only with your consent and only if we conclude that it would be in your best interest.
