Ben DuBose has helped asbestos and serious personal injury clients for over twenty-five years. He’s successfully fought for mesothelioma and serious personal injury victims in courts throughout the United States.
Ben represents mesothelioma and lung cancer clients with wide-ranging work experience. He’s also nationally known for investigating the asbestos content of oilfield drilling mud additives and has successfully represented oilfield workers that were exposed to asbestos drilling mud additives on rigs in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, North and South Dakota. Ben’s clients also include children and spouses of those who were occupationally exposed to asbestos and brought asbestos dust home on their clothing.
Thanks to his legal savvy and years of experience litigating complex cases, Ben was recognized by his peers and D Magazine in 2009, 2011, 2016, 2019 & 2025 as one of the “Best Personal Lawyers in Dallas” as well as a Texas “Super Lawyer” each year from 2009 through 2018 by Thompson & Reuters as printed in Texas Monthly magazine.
