Practice Areas: Mesothelioma & Asbestos

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.

Scott Frost was born in Iowa. Shortly after, the family packed up the panel wagon and moved to Southern California. Scott’s father was a construction laborer who studied at the kitchen table to get this contractor license. Scott’s father would put on his tool belt and work construction across southern California for years. As a baby, Scott used to jump inside the big leather tool belt and try to fit it around his little waist. When the tool belt didn’t fit, Scott would just carry it around the apartment.. Scott’s father worked for years laying tile and kicking in carpet. Eventually the daily work broke down his body. He spent the remainder of his career selling the very products he had used for all those years.. Forty years later Scott’s father was diagnosed with lung cancer. Scott was at a close friend’s wedding rehearsal when he got the call. Scott’s father said, “Son, I have some bad news but it is going to be ok.” Scott’s father chose to fight his cancer and sought out experimental drugs and therapy. Scott’s mother and father got used to the stale smell of hospitals over the next few years. The constant ever changing drugs, whose names his father could not even pronounce, ruined his father’s kidneys leading him to an at-home daily dialysis treatment plan.. Throughout this time, Scott’s dad continued to volunteer driving a large church truck collecting food for local families in need. He loved handing out food and seeing the smiling faces of the kids. Scott’s dad always had a smile on his face and was quick to say, “Have you heard the story about…”. The drugs helped extend his life, but the serious side effects kept him from enjoying his love of farming, camping, and fishing. It even kept him from doing the simplest of things, like walking down the street.. The cancer that doctors were able to shrink, had begun to grow again and Scott’s father was in and out of hospital – all with the love and support of his wife of over 50 years, by his side. Eventually, all of the visits caught up to Scott’s father and he passed away suddenly from an infection.. Scott’s father had worked with and even sold asbestos products for many years. Scott’s father never knew they were dangerous until Scott told him many years later.. Scott has represented victims of asbestos related disease for over eighteen years. Scott’s passion is representing families who have been harmed by corporations. Scott’s mission is to make sure this never happens to our children and grandchildren and to keep our communities safe for these future generations.. Scott Frost has represented mesothelioma patients across the country; including Hawaii, California, Washington, Oregon, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, Nevada, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas.
