Our typical client is a man who has worked his whole life to provide for his family — he didn’t do anything wrong, and yet he ends up with this awful disease. Money can never fully compensate him for the loss of his health. But, often, a client will tell us that it is a great comfort to him, knowing that even though he is sick, he is still providing for his family through the settlements and verdicts we obtain on his behalf. Our team works to make sure that our client’s lifetime efforts to support his family are not in vain. Personally, I‘m involved in every step of the litigation, right from the very start. We have a close working relationship with experts in the field who treat asbestos-related diseases, which helps both in court and in helping clients gain access to the best medical care available..

Earlier in his career, Mr. Feldman served as chief of the Montgomery County, Pa., insurance fraud unit and, prior to that, as a Norristown, Pa., assistant district attorney..

Mesothelioma devastates lives. It also devastates families. Going to court against the corporations that cause this devastation is the right thing to do. I’m pleased to be part of Weitz & Luxenberg’s efforts to help mesothelioma patients and their loved ones.. Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys own a reputation as hard-hitting, pull-no-punches courtroom advocates. Many of them built those reputations while working as prosecutors tasked with putting criminals behind bars and making the streets safe. That’s how Brendan J. O’Malley earned his reputation.. Before joining Weitz & Luxenberg in 2015 as an asbestos and mesothelioma attorney, Mr. O’Malley was a Philadelphia assistant district attorney. Specifically, he was assigned to the homicide unit where he handled a heavy caseload of investigations and trials. Many of these involved complex, multi-defendant shootings. He brought to justice serial slayers and — in one instance — the killer of a police officer.. Of the 27 murder cases he tried, 17 resulted in first- or second-degree murder convictions or life-without-parole sentences. In total, he brought 75 jury trials to verdict. Prior to assignment to the homicide unit he was with the team responsible for locking up hardcore career criminals, including armed robbers, assailants, and drug traffickers. Mr. O’Malley first went to work for the city’s district attorney in 2003.. Mr. O’Malley began his career in law as an associate attorney with the Pittsburgh, PA, firm of Thorp Reed & Armstrong. There, he represented commercial lenders. Mr. O’Malley joined Thorp Reed & Armstrong in 2002, the same year he graduated with a juris doctor degree from Temple University School of Law. His academic achievements were impressive: staff editor of the Temple International and Comparative Law Journal; Dean's Honor List, 1999-2000; and distinguished class performance recognition in trial advocacy.. During law school, Mr. O’Malley received a foretaste of the prosecutorial role he would later play by virtue of participating in a clinical studies program that placed him in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and then in the office of the prosecutor for Camden County, NJ.. Mr. O’Malley entered law school after completing undergraduate studies at George Washington University where, in 1998, he earned a bachelor’s degree in international affairs. He distinguished himself as a two-year member of the Dean’s List and as co-captain of the men’s varsity crew team.
