Weitz & Luxenberg Los Angeles is able to get great results for so many clients because, one, we have people with the right blend of credentials and backgrounds and, two, we enjoy national reach through our offices in New York, New Jersey and other locations, which cumulatively gives us leverage that’s hard to equal. As for me, personally, there aren’t too many jobs where you really get to help hard-working people who are so deserving. Asbestos cancer shatters people’s lives. I can’t make the injury or its consequences go away, but I can help give them back some of their lost dignity and stolen worth.. Benno Ashrafi oversees the asbestos practice at Weitz & Luxenberg in California. He joined us in 2011 to help our Los Angeles office assemble a driven, client-focused team of personal-injury lawyers, each with his or her own track-record of success in asbestos-cancer/mesothelioma litigation.. Mr. Ashrafi entered the practice of law in 2006. His career began at the Los Angeles office of Waters & Kraus, a Dallas-based law firm, where he played a key role in delivering for his clients substantial verdicts — including one worth nearly $15 million. At Pepperdine Law School, his academic achievements were such that he graduated second in his class. Three years earlier, Mr. Ashrafi graduated as an economics major from the University of California at Berkeley.. Between undergraduate school and law school, Mr. Ashrafi worked in the field of commercial real-estate finance. A fan of Lakers basketball who himself enjoys shooting hoops, Mr. Ashrafi — a California native — confesses to a fondness for spending time in his kitchen (favorite dish: short ribs slow-braised in copious quantities of wine).

There is no law firm more determined to help people suffering the horrific consequences of exposure to asbestos than Weitz & Luxenberg. It is a high honor to be part of this family of talented, caring attorneys.. Marc Willick is an aggressive fighter on behalf of the victims of mesothelioma and their families. He joined Weitz & Luxenberg in 2015, bringing with him 20+ years of battle-tested experience running his own law firm and associating with several prominent, prestigious Los Angeles legal offices — experience that helped deliver one victory after another.. These include a $12-million asbestos verdict for a 65-year-old Navy veteran diagnosed with mesothelioma decades after working in the engine rooms aboard ship, a $9.9-million verdict for a 74-year-old former stillman and rigger at an oil refinery where he was exposed to asbestos-containing equipment and components, a nearly $1.8-million verdict for a 62-year-old mesothelioma victim who was a Navy yard welder and pipefitter, and a $3-million settlement extracted from a company that supplied asbestos-laden pipe to a repairman who breathed deadly dust using it in residential HVAC work in Marc’s hometown of El Segundo, California. These and many more impressive triumphs contributed to Mr. Willick being named a "Southern California Rising Star" of the legal profession by Super Lawyers magazine. Mr. Willick is admitted to practice law in California and to appear in federal court in California. He entered practice in 1994 following completion of his legal studies at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, from which he obtained a juris doctor degree. Mr. Willick has remained connected to Loyola by volunteering at the Loyola Law School Center for Conflict Resolution as an over-the-phone dispute mediator. Mr. Willick also holds a bachelor of arts degree in communications from the University of California at San Diego, received in 1991. An NCAA swimmer back in college and named an All-American for his aquatic prowess in high school, Mr. Willick today in his spare time coaches masters swimming at Loyola Marymount University and still competes in the sport, now at the masters level. He won first-place honors for his age group (10th overall) in the 2000 Waikiki Roughwater Swim and took first-place again for his age group (3rd overall in the wetsuit division) in the Alcatraz-to-San Francisco Sharkfest swim. Since 1986, Mr. Willick has been a lifeguard keeping swimmers and surfers safe along the beaches of Los Angeles County.

My clients didn’t do anything wrong. They worked hard and supported their families, but they’re punished for that by being afflicted with a terrible disease. Mesothelioma, asbestos cancers – these are horrific conditions. They did nothing to deserve this. Yet they suffer, because irresponsible corporations put profits first and people’s health last. I am very grateful to be able to help these victims start rebuilding their shattered lives.. Many Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys – like Aaron J. Sussman, an associate in our Mesothelioma and Asbestos Litigation group – come to us after very successful careers working for or as district attorneys. We find that former prosecutors have a special knack for obtaining justice from the types of wrongdoers so often in our crosshairs.. Mr. Sussman joined Weitz & Luxenberg in 2015 at the conclusion of his service to the County of Santa Barbara, California, in the role of deputy district attorney. As a prosecutor, he took felony cases to trial and built a reputation as a highly motivated crimebuster – just ask any of the white-collar lawbreakers he put away for fraud, theft and worse. So knowledgeable was he about the tricks defendants play in order to avoid facing up to the debts they owe society that he became a key resource to investigators, fellow prosecutors and concerned citizens interested in acquiring training and special insights about combating crime.. Before that, Mr. Sussman was an associate attorney with the Los Angeles law firm of Gordon, Edelstein, Krepack, Grant, Felton & Goldstein. Mr. Sussman’s contributions to his team resulted in substantial awards and settlements for the firm’s clients.. In particular, the firm found him indispensible as the writer of its memoranda and motions, the documents that judges rely on in court to help them reach decisions in the course of trial. Mr. Sussman also honed his writing skills – as well as his skills as a researcher of the laws – by serving as research assistant and writing partner to two nationally-renowned legal scholars: America’s most widely read and influential legal commentator Professor Jeffrey Rosen, who serves as President of the National Constitution Center, and frequent race-and-crime commentator Professor Paul Butler, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who specialized in public corruption. He also completed a criminal case-management internship in the chambers of the Hon. Florence Y. Pan, who, at the time, was newly appointed to the federal bench in the District of Columbia. For Mr. Sussman, this followed a legal-research internship with the advocacy group Just Detention International, also in the District of Columbia.. Those internships occurred during Mr. Sussman’s years at The George Washington University Law School, from which he graduated in 2011 with a juris doctor degree. Ranked in the Top 10 Percent of his class, Mr. Sussman was a member of the George Washington Law Review and the school’s Moot Court and Mock Trial boards. He won the Justice Thurgood Marshall Civil Liberties Award and, in the Spring 2009 Mock Trial Competition, his moot-court team was declared best among those on the prosecution side. At the University of California, Irvine, where Mr. Sussman double-majored in theater and criminology, law, and society, he was a four-time Dean’s List honoree who completed the four-year academic program in three. He graduated in 2005.
