Dee: "The day started out fine. John, we got up, and John, which is unusual for him, just came out of the bedroom and just sat down. And he said I just don't feel good, and I knew something was wrong because John doesn't complain. I said well I think we should probably go to the ER. They found out that there was over 2 liters of fluid on his left lung, and they were amazed that he was even able to breathe period. They did a CAT scan, and that's when he just said you have stage four mesothelioma, John.

John: "I was kind of blank I didn't know what to think. I didn't realize that my job had exposed me to this."

Dee: "We're the Stahls — I'm Dee, and this is my husband John."

John: "My name is John Stahl. I was first exposed to asbestos poisoning through a construction business through sheetrock through gaskets and piping all through my career, and I worked 43 years in construction business. If you don't work, you don't get paid. The first treatment was with chemotherapy, and I went every two weeks. It didn't take long an hour or so, but it'd take me 7 to 10 days to recover. That was hard for me because I'm a pretty active person."

Dee: "Asbestos is poison and it's a prescription for death. Yeah, I don't know. It's not curable, right?"

John: "Well, when I first I didn't really really sink in longer and longer we thought I thought about it, it's going to end my life eventually, but I'm gonna live in as well as I can.

Dee: "It made me mad and sad and to think that these manufacturers could continue knowing that there was asbestos that could hurt people continued to make these products for how many years years and years — and look what it's done to the love of my life. It's heartbreaking. After we got over the shock of the diagnosis and and slept on it that night, the next morning, I said to John, I'm going to call Sokolove Law, the company that I saw on the TV. I contacted them, and they were very compassionate, kind, caring. It was just a great experience."

John: "My kids are going to be taken care of. They're going to be taken care of, so it's a peace of mind knowing that I don't have to worry about them going down the road."

Dee: "I want people out there to realize that there is help, and they can get assistance and get a settlement from these manufacturers that continue to use this and know that it was dangerous for people."

John: "We filed a mesothelioma lawsuit to hold companies accountable. It's important to people who understand that there's help, and there's people there willing to help them go through this process of making these companies liable for what they've caused."

I started working on stuff when I was seven years old. I worked on Pontiac Tempest and did a head gasket when I was seven. I worked on big trucks and farm tractors and automobiles.

My name is David Rosedale and I got a mesothelioma working on equipment, which would've been brakes, clutches, and gaskets. I started at a young age and been doing it my whole life.

I went into urgent care and I was having kind of a hard time breathing and I thought maybe it was allergies, and when I went to urgent care, they said that the left lung was collapsed, so they rushed me over to the hospital.

I was put in the hospital. They drained two liters out of the left lung. There was a biopsy done when they did that, and then it came back positive for mesothelioma. The doctor that told me that I had mesothelioma. She said, you need to get a lawyer.

And I just happened to look on my phone and I had seen the ad on tv, so I called it when I was in the doctor's office, Sokolove Law sent people out within a day to take my statements and see what was going on, and they got right on it and they handled the case professionally.

To file a lawsuit is worth it because it's a life altering experience and without the compensation, I mean you're pretty well lost. I decided to pursue the mesothelioma lawsuit because I needed to provide for my family and I was not going to be able to work.

Hiring Sokolove Law was a good choice because we were able to get the outcome that we needed.

When I was going through treatment with the legal process, they worked around my treatments and were conscious of my health concerns, so it was not a problem. I would recommend, if you're a victim of this, to pursue litigation — because the big companies knew this was a problem a long ways back, and it was a monetary concern on their part to keep using the product.

The product is still coming in from overseas. It has not stopped, and the damage that it causes is irreversible and you only have one life, so you want to do the best you can for your family.
