Learn more about the history of our firm and why we are the right firm to represent you and your family in a California mesothelioma case.
Seeking Legal Representation
We know a mesothelioma diagnosis is devastating for you and your loved ones. Physical pain and discomfort are accompanied by numerous troubling emotions and concerns about how you will pay for your medical care, your household expenses, and take care of your family, when you are unable to work.
One way to ensure that you will be able to provide for your care and your family’s care is to pursue legal action. We understand the task of selecting a law firm and lawyer to represent you can be a huge undertaking, especially when you already have a multitude of other matters to manage.
Our Experience Handling Mesothelioma Cases in Court
Our attorneys and staff are very mindful of your situation, and we promise to take exceptional care of you. For over 40 years, Kazan Law has focused on helping people who have become ill from exposure to asbestos in the State of California – people who have lived or worked in California, or are currently living in California. Practicing only one type of law, in only one state, for over four decades, our attorneys are the most experienced mesothelioma lawyers in California. We have helped thousands of people suffering from asbestos related illnesses, particularly mesothelioma, and have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation.
We Come to Meet You
We simplify the legal process for you. We will come to meet you at your home or another location that is convenient to you. From the beginning, we listen to your story and explain in plain English

No Fees Until Your Case Is Resolved

You do not pay us up front and you will never get bills from us. We do not charge by the hour. Instead, a portion of the money awarded to you will go to our firm and the rest will go to you.

Asbestos Bankruptcy Trusts
Founder and Managing Partner Steven Kazan has been involved in the reorganization of almost all asbestos companies since the first company filed for bankruptcy in 1982. As chair or co-chair of many trusts’ advisory committees, he has been the watchdog to ensure the rights of people suffering from asbestos related illnesses are protected. The Wall Street Journal reported that our firm has worked with more trust funds with more money than any other American law firm.
There are about 50 asbestos bankruptcy trusts, which have already paid out over $21 billion dollars. Approximately $32 billion in assets are still available. Steven and our team of attorneys are experts in getting clients the best possible recoveries from these trust funds.
