Wisconsin Mesothelioma & Asbestos Lawyers

Wisconsin citizens are at a high risk for asbestos exposure due to manufacturing, metal work, and paper mill industries. Many of these industries are located in urban areas of Milwaukee, Kenosha, and Green Bay.

Asbestos was also used directly in the paper milling process, putting workers at risk from airborne asbestos fibers. People who worked for Kimberly Clark and Georgia Pacific may be at high risk for acquiring mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer.

Take the First Step

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in Wisconsin

You do not have to file your claim in the state in which you live. 

It’s far more important to contact an attorney with a strong history of experience specifically in asbestos cases, than it is to select one who happens to be in your area of Wisconsin. The most successful attorneys in your area may have never handled an asbestos case.

We handle asbestos cases all across the USA, so we know how to file, where to file, and what to do to get you the compensation you deserve. Call (888) 422-8877to speak with an Wisconsin mesothelioma and asbestos attorney at SWMW Law.

They answered every call and were extremely patient and supportive of us. They really did a great job with keeping us informed and educated. They fought for us. I would recommend them to anyone that hears the diagnosis of Mesothelioma. They will fight for you 100% of the way. Thank you SWMW Team for your support and patience!
