The ethic of giving of one’s time and money to the less fortunate is ingrained within the partners, attorneys and staff of Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C.

The ethic of performing such acts of kindness in a quiet, unassuming manner is also part of the firm’s value system and is articulated in the many philanthropic initiatives the firm pursues. Giving to mesothelioma research is central to our firm because of the close relationship with our clients who suffer from the disease. That is why we give significant support to the mesothelioma research being conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital, a leader in mesothelioma research. In this way, we are pursuing monetary settlements for asbestos victims while simultaneously working toward an improved quality of life for our clients.
