Military service members were heavily exposed to asbestos in ships, bases, and equipment. Veterans may qualify for both VA benefits and legal compensation.

Client Stories

Families We've Helped

Every case begins with a family facing an impossible situation. Here's what they say about working with us.

★★★★★

After my husband was diagnosed with mesothelioma, I didn't know where to turn. Michelle and her team walked us through everything — the trust fund claims, the legal process, all of it. They treated us like family, not a case number. We received our settlement in under four months.

Houston, TX — Spouse of refinery worker
★★★★★

I served 22 years in the Navy and was diagnosed with mesothelioma at 71. Whitman helped me file trust fund claims and a VA disability claim at the same time. I didn't have to worry about any of the legal side — they handled everything while I focused on treatment.
