How many Mesothelioma cases do you have right now?
Should Ask Questions
Attorneys that have lots and lots of clients might have just one goal – get your case resolved as soon as possible so that they can move on to the next case.

By limiting the number of clients they take, these attorneys can devote substantially more time to your case, which in the end makes them a better attorney, and gives you a better chance of successfully working on your Mesothelioma case.
