Whitman Mesothelioma Law Firm focuses on asbestos litigation. With 30+ years of experience and over $2 billion recovered, our attorneys represent mesothelioma and asbestos victims nationwide.
A mesothelioma law firm is a specialized legal practice focused on representing victims of asbestos exposure. Because mesothelioma cases involve unique legal, medical, and historical elements — long latency periods, bankruptcy trust funds, multi-defendant litigation — they require firms with specific experience. Whitman Mesothelioma Law Firm has concentrated on asbestos litigation for 30+ years. Our parent firm, Danziger & De Llano, has been recovering compensation for asbestos victims since 1993.
This is not a general practice that occasionally handles asbestos cases. Asbestos litigation is our primary focus and has been for over three decades.
Our physical offices are in California and Texas, but we represent mesothelioma victims in all 50 states. Your attorney travels to you.
We pursue every available compensation source: direct lawsuits, asbestos trust fund claims (60+ active trusts with $30+ billion), and VA benefits for veterans. All three tracks can run simultaneously.

More than $2 billion recovered for clients. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes — but the track record reflects decades of experience handling asbestos cases.
You pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation. Free consultations available 6 AM to 10 PM.
Call 1-800-875-3000 or submit a consultation form. We evaluate your case at no cost.
Our team investigates your exposure history, identifies all responsible parties, and gathers medical and employment records.
We file lawsuits, trust fund claims, and coordinate VA claims simultaneously for maximum compensation.
Most cases resolve within 12-18 months. Trust fund claims typically pay within 6-12 months. You receive compensation from every available source.
Direct access to experienced attorneys, not intake specialists.

A good mesothelioma law firm has: (1) focused experience in asbestos litigation, not general personal injury, (2) track record of recoveries demonstrating real outcomes, (3) resources to pursue multi-defendant cases and advance case costs, (4) nationwide reach (most firms limit geography), (5) experience with trust fund claim procedures, (6) contingency fee structure with no upfront costs, and (7) a team approach that includes investigators, medical experts, and litigation support.
Evaluate firms on: years of focused asbestos experience (not general practice that accepts asbestos cases), recovery track record, attorney credentials (bar status, Super Lawyers, Martindale ratings), firm resources (multi-defendant cases are expensive to litigate), contingency fee terms, and willingness to travel to you. A firm that pressures you to sign immediately or guarantees specific outcomes is a warning sign.
Yes. Trust fund claims are a major component of mesothelioma compensation. Most patients qualify for claims from 10 or more active trusts based on their exposure history. An experienced firm knows which trusts to file with, how to document claims, and how to maximize total recovery across all eligible trusts.
