Top Rated Products Liability Attorney in Los Angeles, CA

Patrick DeBlase is a partner at DeBlase Brown Eyerly LLP in Los Angeles, California, where he concentrates his practice on representing people harmed by asbestos.  He is one of the few mesothelioma lawyers who has tried such cases to verdict.  He has a passion for representing people who were not told that the products they worked with in fact carried a significant risk of cancer.  With over 30 years of experience, representing people with asbestos-related diseases has been a lifelong dedication for Mr. DeBlase.  He has an unbridled passion for standing up for people whose lives have forever been changed due to the devastating diseases asbestos can cause.   While he has obtained 7 and 8 figure verdicts in multiple states for people with mesothelioma, Mr. DeBlase believes that preparing for and trying cases is the biggest factor in obtaining justice and full compensation for people with mesothelioma.  Companies who exposed people to asbestos decades ago know this and make settlement offer decisions accordingly.  This is why the choice of lawyer for someone with mesothelioma is so important.
