Industrial facilities located in Illinois have exposed residents living in the nearby areas to dioxins and PCBs, both extremely dangerous chemicals with devastating health effects. At the moment, the case is moving through litigation with one defendant and through settlement with the other.

$72 million

In September of 2021, our attorneys and the legal team recovered considerable financial compensation for six clients who had been exposed to dioxins. Because they developed terrible diseases and health problems as a consequence of toxic exposure, they filed a lawsuit, which resulted in no less than $72 million.

Our concern for those injured doesn't stop in the courtroom

We work within the Alabama community with various municipalities in creating long-term strategies to decrease toxic pollution and bring back a healthy environment. Also, we do our share and donate to charities. We are proud to be involved in the development of UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center.

We have contributed well over $1 million to charities including the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center.

We also work with various municipalities in developing long-term strategies to decrease toxic pollution and to restore a healthy environment to communities.

Various industrial sites are located in lower income areas most of the time this is intentional because business owners expect people in those communities to lack the power and voice to fight the problems that may arise.

We advise communities on the best ways to reach out to local, State, and Federal governments about environmental concerns and also to prevent harmful events from ever.
