As an attorney in Weitz & Luxenberg's asbestos group I have successfully helped victims recover financial compensation to pay for medical bills, out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages, and provide financial security for their family members. The asbestos-related diseases that I handle include: Mesothelioma, Lung Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Colon Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, and Asbestosis.

Wilma

My husband was diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma and Weitz and Luxenberg was recommended to us. Adam Dreksler came to our home to meet with us and he explained why we should persue this matter with him representing Weitz and Luxenberg. He carefully reviewed my husband's exposure to asbestos. We... retained Adam Dreksler as our attorney to prosecute our case. Adam filed a lawsuit, went to trial and quickly resolved our case. Although my husband passed away my family is extremely pleased with the results that Adam has provided us with. I would highly recommend Adam Dreksler and Weitz and Luxenberg for any asbestos related issues.

Awesome Advice!

I reached out to Adam for assistance with a car accident I was in while working. I did not know what to do or where to begin the legal process. Adam was able to provide extensive information regarding next steps to my case and how to proceed with cross country legal needs. He was efficient, effect...ive, and overall awesome to work with. I will definitely be using him for an legal needs in the future!

Real Estate Issue

One of my family friends recommended Adam Dreksler to help me with a minor real estate issue regarding my NYC Apt. Rental. Adam was extremely helpful, thoroughly researched all issued and explained everything. He helped renegotiate my lease for another year, and also managed to make sure the landlord... fixed the hot water running in the building. I will definitely recommend Adam's legal services.
