About Us
At Gori Julian & Associates, P.C. in Edwardsville, Illinois, we have helped thousands of people recover compensation for devastating personal losses resulting from exposure to asbestos — over $2 billion in all.
As proud as we are of what we have done, there is still more work to do, and we are still committed to fighting for justice on behalf of people and families who continue to be harmed by asbestos negligence.
Where Can We Help?
As a firm, we handle asbestos lung disease and mesothelioma lawsuits nationwide on behalf of auto mechanics, pipe fitters, railroad employees, retired military personnel and others who have been exposed to asbestos in the workplace. We have also helped people who were exposed to asbestos in their homes — from family members who carried the fibers with them from work and from many household products that were manufactured with asbestos.
When Can We Help?
On a personal level, we can start helping you immediately — by answering your questions, serving as a source of information, putting you in touch with support services, and even by recommending leading physicians in your area whom we’re familiar with from our work with previous clients. Timely results are important. Our firm works diligently to secure trial dates for our clients in a timely and efficient manner.
How Can We Help?
Because our firm has been involved in asbestos litigation since the mid-1990s — our attorneys have an enormous amount of knowledge and resources to draw from in handling new cases. In practical terms, this means that we don’t have to waste precious time looking for the information about asbestos products, employers and other matters that we’ll need to prepare your case.
We already know many of the answers and can draw from resources that include thousands of depositions taken in connection with asbestos and mesothelioma cases, asbestos product descriptions, manufacturer’s information and other documents that represent decades of painstaking research and case details.
