Choosing the right mesothelioma lawyer is one of the most important steps in your legal journey. These cases aren’t ordinary personal injury claims, they require deep knowledge of asbestos litigation, bankruptcy trust systems, and the complex medical & scientific realities of a mesothelioma diagnosis.
At DuBose Law Firm, we’ve spent decades representing mesothelioma victims and their families across the United States. This page will help you understand what makes a strong asbestos attorney and how to choose the right one for your case.

Why Experience with Asbestos Cases Matters
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that usually develops decades after exposure to asbestos. Legal claims related to this disease involve:
- Exposure histories going back 40–50 years
- Corporations that may be bankrupt or merged
- Eligibility for multiple compensation sources (lawsuits, trust funds, VA claims)
- Urgent timelines due to health concerns and legal deadlines
A lawyer without extensive experience in asbestos litigation may miss key exposure details, leave money on the table, or delay your claim.
Qualities to Look for in a Mesothelioma Lawyer
Not all personal injury lawyers are equipped to handle mesothelioma cases. Here’s what to look for when comparing attorneys:
1. Asbestos Case Focus
Your lawyer should have a proven track record of handling mesothelioma or asbestos-related cancer cases, not just general injury claims.
2. National Reach
The right lawyer can file your claim in the state that offers the best legal outcome, even if it’s not where you live. DuBose Law Firm serves clients across Texas and the U.S.
3. Knowledge of Asbestos Trust Claims
A qualified mesothelioma lawyer should have access to the full list of asbestos bankruptcy trust funds and know how to file claims properly for each.
4. No Upfront Fees
Reputable mesothelioma lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless they win your case.
What to Ask When Interviewing a Mesothelioma Lawyer
Schedule a consultation (free with DuBose Law Firm), and ask the following:
- How many mesothelioma cases have you handled?
- Do you handle the case yourself or refer it out?
- How do you identify exposure sources?
- Can you file in other states besides where I live?
- What is your typical timeline for a mesothelioma case?
- Will I owe anything if we don’t win?
The right attorney will answer transparently, explain the process clearly, and treat you with compassion, not pressure.

Look for someone with proven mesothelioma experience, national reach, and trial capability. They should work on a contingency fee basis and have strong client reviews.
Do mesothelioma lawyers charge upfront?
No. Most work on a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if your case wins or settles. You owe nothing upfront.
Will I need to go to court?
Most mesothelioma cases settle out of court. However, having a trial-ready lawyer ensures your case is in the best position if your case needs to proceed to trial.
