Criminal Defense Heroes

The mesothelioma attorneys in Baron & Budd???s Los Angeles office have been helping patients fight mesothelioma for more than 30 years. The firm has an established history of protecting the rights of those harmed by asbestos exposure, and was one of the very first law firms to sucessfully handle a mesothelioma lawsuit. Our mesothelioma lawyers are still fighting today and stand ready to help patients take on the asbestos companies responsible for causing their cancer. And rather than just signing up cases and referring all of them to other law firms for the actual casework, our mesothelioma attorneys continue to directly handle mesothelioma lawsuits. Recently, our mesothelioma lawyers achieved a $48 million verdict for a mesothelioma patient in California against Union Carbide, a subsidiary of Dow Chemical, and a number of other asbestos companies. Baron & Budd???s California mesothelioma lawyers also have a successful track record of defending all of their verdicts on appeal ???something many mesothelioma or asbestos law firms cannot claim. Our mesothelioma lawyers have also achieved a $20 million verdict ???protected on appeal ???for a former entertainer and California resident as well as her husband. Baron & Budd mesothelioma attorneys have also been honored to represent numerous military veterans, including a Navy veteran whom the firm won a $3.9 million verdict for ???which was protected on appeal.Baron & Budd also remains dedicated to giving back to the mesothelioma community to advocate for a ban on asbestos and find a cure for mesothelioma. The firm is a platinum-level sponsor of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), an independent non-profit organization dedicated to banning asbestos, supporting asbestos victims and their families and raising public awareness about the dangers and misconceptions about asbestos. ADAO is a driving force in the asbestos non-profit world, with strong ties to policy-making in Washington, D.C. and even celebrity spokespeople who have lost family members to mesothelioma.Baron & Budd mesothelioma lawyers are also proud to partner with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and CURE media group. Baron & Budd???s founder and managing shareholder, Russell Budd, sits on the Board of the NCCN Foundation. Working closely with NCCN, Baron & Budd financially underwrote the creation, printing and distribution of the NCCN Mesothelioma Guidelines for Patients, a comprehensive guide to navigating mesothelioma treatment and communicating with your doctor. Baron & Budd also partnered with CURE media group, the publishers of CURE magazine, to publish Understanding Mesothelioma, a patient and caregiver guide to mesothelioma treatment, mesothelioma legal options and how to find a mesothelioma doctor.Our firm was one of the first to successfully handle a mesothelioma lawsuit in the 1970s, and we are still fighting today.
