Asbestos exposure has devastated countless families across the United States, leaving victims facing life-threatening illnesses like mesothelioma decades after their initial contact with this dangerous mineral. When corporations prioritized profits over worker safety, they exposed millions of Americans to asbestos fibers that would later manifest as aggressive cancers, fundamentally altering the trajectory of entire families’ lives.
At The Williams Law Firm, P.C., we understand the profound impact an asbestos-related diagnosis has on victims and their families. With 30 years of experience fighting for justice, we have represented over 1,000 families affected by asbestos exposure and have never lost a mesothelioma case. Our comprehensive approach ensures that victims in New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, Illinois, Florida, and nationwide receive the dedicated legal representation they deserve during this challenging time.
Asbestos exposure victims possess significant legal rights that many are unaware of during their time of medical crisis. When companies knowingly exposed workers to asbestos-containing materials without proper warnings or protective equipment, they created legal liability that extends for decades beyond the initial exposure. This liability remains enforceable even when the exposure occurred many years ago, as mesothelioma cases often involve long latency periods between exposure and diagnosis.
Your legal rights include pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your asbestos exposure. Many victims assume that because their exposure happened decades ago, they have no recourse, but this assumption is incorrect. Asbestos trust funds have been established specifically to compensate victims, and these funds remain available regardless of when the exposure occurred.
Our team conducts thorough investigations to identify all potential sources of asbestos exposure in your case. We utilize extensive databases, employment records, and expert witnesses to build a complete picture of your exposure history. For naval workers, Attorney Williams uses actual naval archive records that include complete equipment lists from ships, ensuring no potential exposure source goes unexamined.
This meticulous approach allows us to identify all responsible parties and maximize your potential compensation. We understand that asbestos exposure often occurs at multiple locations throughout a person’s career, and we work diligently to uncover every possible avenue for recovery.
While our primary offices serve clients throughout New York and New Jersey, we extend our representation to asbestos exposure victims nationwide. Our experience spans diverse industries and geographic regions, from construction workers in major metropolitan areas to shipyard workers along the coasts.
Each geographic region presents unique challenges in asbestos litigation. New York cases often involve exposure at iconic construction sites like the World Trade Center or major infrastructure projects, while New Jersey cases frequently involve chemical plants and manufacturing facilities. Our nationwide experience allows us to apply region-specific knowledge while maintaining consistent, high-quality representation across all jurisdictions.
The legal landscape for asbestos cases varies significantly between states, affecting everything from statutes of limitations to available compensation sources. We navigate these complexities seamlessly, ensuring that regardless of where you live or where your exposure occurred, you receive representation that maximizes your recovery potential. Our track record includes successful cases in multiple states, demonstrating our ability to adapt our proven strategies to different legal environments.
Joe Williams personally meets with clients in their homes, understanding that a mesothelioma diagnosis often limits mobility and energy. This personal approach ensures that you receive attention from an experienced attorney, not a junior associate learning on your case. We handle each case as our personal cause, not just another file in a large caseload.

We also work closely with your family members, recognizing that mesothelioma affects entire families, not just the diagnosed individual. This comprehensive support system helps families navigate both the legal and emotional challenges they face.
