Our Mission

  • Diagnosed With Mesothelioma?

    Surgery? Chemotherapy? Radiation? Immunotherapy? We can help answer your questions.

  • Talcum Powder is Poison

    You've been diagnosed with mesothelioma, but don't know how you were exposed to asbestos?

  • Attention Veterans!

    Exposed to Asbestos? The VA is here to help.

  • Surgery is the foundation of a successful multi-modal treatment plan. See the video above to better understand the typical progression of mesothelioma. The first question to ask: Is the tumor operable? Only an experienced thoracic surgeon can credibly answer that questions.

  • Social Justice, Economic Justice, Environmental Justice, Taxpayer Justice

    Big Oil Lied.

Your Patient Roadmap

Patients diagnosed with mesothelioma find themselves at the beginning of a journey. Because of the rarity of the disease and the developing nature of the treatments, it is a journey that will take them on sparsely-traveled, out of the way back-roads. The kind of roads that are often difficult to navigate. Difficult, that is, unless you have a good road map.

Fighting for Asbestos Cancer Patients and Funding Research Isn’t Just Our Job…It’s Personal
Attorney Roger Worthington funded the Punch Worthington Research Laboratory located at the UCLA Medical School in memory of his father David “Punch” Worthington who lost his battle with asbestos lung cancer in 2006.

We Only Handle Mesothelioma & Asbestos Lung Cancer Cases

Unlike large firms that handle asbestos cases as part of a much broader practice, since 1990 our practice has been dedicated solely to mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer cases.

Our responsive, individualized attention to our client’s medical and legal needs together with customized representation is what sets us apart.
