Our Attorneys

Environmental Litigation Group P.C.

We are widely recognized for our diligent and successful representation of many thousands of clients and their families. While you focus on improving your health we are here for you to make the claim process simple and hassle-free.

Our law firm has the experience, resources, and attitude to help you get through difficult times. These are important characteristics that enable us to help you and your family in current and future situations related to toxic exposure in an occupational or environmental setting, defective products, and pharmaceuticals.

Our lawyers and staff members have the skills and the dedication required to make the entire process simple and easy for you and your family. Because we represent people across the United States, we are accessible for you wherever you may be.

Along with filing claims with trust funds (companies that manufactured products), we are willing to go the extra mile in helping you obtain compensation from settlements and lawsuits, veterans' benefits, social security disability benefits, and workers' compensation benefits.

We are here for you and we mean it. Focus, patience, and understanding are our client service's main qualities. Our lawyers will always have time for you because we make open communication a top priority. By phone, by email, or in person, our staff members are available to answer your questions. The genuine long-term relationship between us and our clients may be the main difference that makes our team unique among other law firms. We have an impeccable track record and we are recognized by our peers and clients as well.

We serve clients nationwide; we will come to you if that is how it is comfortable for you. Do not get discouraged if you live in a remote area because we are willing to travel across the country for you. Staying in contact, communicating, investigating, researching, and evaluating the case may take several months. Work records, medical records, and product identification are only a part of the process we go through before filing a claim.

Some of the expenses and the hours of work will be ours. You can rest assured knowing that everything we do, we do it for you to receive fair compensation. We are genuinely interested in working with you and for you. When you win, we also win.

Our standard fee is a 40% contingency fee, which means that we only collect this fee when we are able to obtain compensation for a client. If we do not collect anything, our clients do not owe us any money out of pocket.

Thousands of toxic exposure claims handled in the U.S.

Each case of toxic chemical exposure is unique. Not many lawyers do this type of work. We have handled thousands of toxic exposure cases that have taken us all over the country. You are not required to file your claim in the state where you live. It's more important to work with experienced toxic tort lawyer with proven results than it is to select one attorney in your area. For instance, a successful personal injury attorney may have never handled toxic exposure cases. We have a core group of attorneys and staff that have worked solely on toxic exposure cases for more than 25 years.

Our commitment and personal approach

From the beginning of our activity, we've had particular traits that contributed to winning the cases: vigorous representation, proactive counseling, and advocacy through extensive experience. What makes us unique is the rare combination of being experts in our fields and being interested in you as an individual. For us, you are a person, not a case.

We believe in authentic human connection. We are also honest about the length of our collaboration, the amount of compensation we can recover and we never set false expectations. The process will not be fast or easy, but we are here for you all the way.

Our team deals with numerous cases of toxic chemical exposure and they will handle yours with commitment.

Who are our clients

The areas of practice we specialize in include environmental law, personal injury, and occupation law. We have 35 years of professional experience and recovered approximately 2 billion in financial compensation for our clients. The people who contact our law firm often do so because they struggle with serious, even terminal illnesses as a consequence of the negligence or wrongdoing of another individual or entity. Our attorneys provide legal assistance to a wide range of clients:

While veterans contact our attorneys to obtain compensation for cancer stemming from toxic exposure that occurred at military bases nationwide, firefighters call our law firm in the hope of recovering money for the health conditions they developed as a result of exposure to the harmful substances present in the firefighting foam they use. There are also plenty of family members who get in touch with our attorneys because their loved ones are too ill to take legal action on their own or because they intend to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one.

Brief Firm History

Our law firm has a rich history dating back to 1990, when Bill Lewis, whose father died as a result of a disease caused by toxic exposure, left his very successful tax practice to found Environmental Litigation Group P.C.

Two years later, Gregory A. Cade began his activity at our law firm as a paralegal while striving to obtain his Master's Degree in Industrial Hygiene. As the law firm grew, we became experts in environmental litigation matters and Gregory Cade became the Owner of Environmental Litigation Group, P.C. His original plan was to have a better understanding of the science behind toxic exposure so as to be able to help as many injured clients as possible. Several years later, when Bill Lewis decided to retire, he asked Gregory Cade to lead the law firm, as, in the meantime, the latter had earned a Juris Doctor degree. We started off with only 50 clients, but within 4 years, our law firm was representing over 8,000 clients.

Today, Gregory Cade is a true expert in the legal and scientific fields of toxic exposure. Perhaps our most important guidelines are that we do not assume anything. Instead, we ask, we record, and we research, thereby getting to know our cases to the last detail.
