Since 1995, the lawyers at Bergman Draper Ladenburg have been fighting to protect the interests of families facing the challenges of mesothelioma. We are a hardworking, talented and knowledgeable group of lawyers and professional staff who are enthusiastic about living in the Pacific Northwest and helping our mesothelioma clients here to obtain quality legal representation from people who care.

What gives Bergman Draper Ladenburg the competitive edge? Asbestos Law is All We Do.
