How much does the best law firm for mesothelioma charge?
At Sokolove Law, our mesothelioma lawyers work on what is called a “contingency basis,” which means that you don't have to pay anything out of pocket or worry about any hourly fees.
We are only paid if we succeed in securing money for you or your family.
How long do I have to contact a mesothelioma law firm after I've been diagnosed?
You only have a limited amount of time to take legal action. The mesothelioma statute of limitations (or the deadline for filing a lawsuit) varies from state to state.
Once the deadline passes, you won’t have the opportunity to press charges over your illness ever again.
This makes it very important to reach out to an asbestos law firm as soon as possible after you or your loved one receives a mesothelioma diagnosis.
Will I be able to speak with members of your asbestos law firm as needed?
We have a team of hardworking case managers available 24/7 — even during the holidays. When you work with our law firm, you become part of our family and we’ll be there for you.
Can I hire a law firm for a mesothelioma case if my loved one already passed away?
In many cases, yes. Family members, or court-appointed representatives of the mesothelioma victim’s estate, can file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of their loved one who passed away from mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease.

We will look into your medical records, background, and work history to determine how and where you were exposed to asbestos.
Who will I be suing when I file a lawsuit for mesothelioma compensation?
When you file a lawsuit with a mesothelioma law firm, you'll be suing the manufacturer of the asbestos-containing products that caused your illness.
If you’re a veteran with mesothelioma and were exposed to asbestos during your service, know you will not be suing the U.S. government or military.
How long does it take to get a mesothelioma settlement?
While there’s never a guarantee of compensation in any case, many of our clients start to receive compensation in as few as 90 days.
Depending on the extent of your exposure, additional payments may continue to come in from asbestos claims for several years.
Does your law firm have a nurse or medical team on staff?
Yes. At Sokolove Law, an important part of your legal team is a registered nurse who can help provide access to medical care, support, and compassion while building your case.
