Mesothelioma is a tragic and devastating disease that is more common in Seattle due to the region’s industrial history, particularly its shipbuilding and manufacturing sectors. For decades, workers were exposed to asbestos while building, repairing, and maintaining ships at sites like the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Lockheed Shipyard and the Todd Pacific Shipyards. These workers, as well as those in construction, insulation, and even some older public buildings, were often unaware of the dangers they faced. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, it’s important to understand your rights and explore all options for compensation, so you can focus on your health and well-being during this difficult time.

What Our Clients Say

Our attorneys greatly value the relationships we’ve built with our clients. We are deeply invested in their well-being and that of their families.

Because of the compassionate service we offer and the significant victories we have achieved for them, our clients also have strong feelings about us. Here are some comments they’ve shared.

I cannot say enough about this firm. They took on a very frightened and vulnerable client and walked him through the gauntlet of 3-years of legal proceedings, eventually securing a favorable outcome. He was treated with dignity and respect, and finally “heard” as a result of Mr. Udo and his firm’s hard work. We, the Client’s family, are forever grateful.

Gina P.

Your company has been working on my family’s behalf for over two years now. As with anyone we love who is no longer with us, we try to remember all of the good times. With my father, that is the case, and even with his passing from a very harsh cancer, I am blessed to be helped out by your company.

Larry M.

I would like to thank you and your staff for your continued efforts and support in assisting our family with our father’s wrongful death due to his exposure to asbestos resulting in mesothelioma. Your firm’s relentless pursuit for justice is greatly appreciated.

Richard M.

Chandler Udo represented us through the complicated process of seeking justice for my husband's exposure to asbestos in the line of duty and resultant mesothelioma. Every member of Bergman Legal with whom we interacted was responsive to our situation, and tenacious in representing us. The kindness, patience and professionalism of Chandler Udo and his team is most sincerely appreciated and will never be forgotten.

Candace S.

Thank you for all the help that you have provided me throughout the last 18 years. I miss Dan every day. He was the love of my life for which I am eternally grateful. The work you did on behalf of Dan and his family was appreciated and helpful tremendously. I was able to retire at 62 because I was debt free, and your work also afforded Nate and Esther the luxury of being debt free after college graduation.

Mary L.

I just wanted to say thank you for all you have helped me! You made things a whole lot easier for me & my kids. I’ve spent the money wisely (I think) I’m set for life. Helped both kids get a house & I’ve invested the rest. It’s never easy losing a spouse at any age, but because of you I didn’t have money problems. Again, thank-you very much for everything!

Anon.

It is hard for me to express the gratitude I feel in regard to those of you who called when you heard of my husband’s death. Your thoughtfulness and kind expressions of sympathy will never be forgotten.
