Why Choose Us

Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC, a full-service law firm, will handle all aspects of your mesothelioma case. This is important because there are many legal remedies available to mesothelioma victims including workers' compensation, veterans' benefits, and social security disability. For example, a widow who files a workers' compensation claim may receive as much as $400.00 a week for the rest of her life. However, to obtain administrative benefits such as workers' compensation, it is important to coordinate your third party lawsuit with your claim for workers' compensation. Quite often, both cases go hand-in-hand and must be prosecuted together. Therefore, one law firm should coordinate all of your legal remedies. Moreover, any death claim will require an experienced estate attorney. Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC will arrange for all necessary estate work to be completed by our on-site estate attorney, Henry Gartner. If you are suffering from mesothelioma, our attorneys will travel to your home if necessary for a free consultation.
