Practice Areas

Personal Injury 51%

I specialize in complex products and premises liability litigations. My practice area tends to focus on toxic torts. These cases typically center around terminal illnesses (although my firm handles all kinds of personal injury cases).

51%
Wrongful Death 45%

Most of the terminal illness cases I handle ultimately result in death. While these cases are pending, we typically retain the most sophisticated medical and scientist experts and go up against the highest paid defense counsel in the nation.

Wonderful Attorney !!!

Tragically, my husband was diagnosed with mesothelioma. He passed away from this terrible cancer about one year after he was diagnosed. The first law firm we hired was one of those big firms and they were unable to do anything for us. After they told us they couldn’t help us with our asbestos case, s...omeone recommended that I contact Meirowitz & Wasserberg, LLP. I am so glad I did. Daniel Wasserberg has been so supportive from start to finish. He has always taken the time to explain things to me. He has done everything he said he would do and more. He has handled some difficult people involved with this asbestos case in a way that benefitted the case. I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Wasserberg and his law firm. If you or a loved one has a mesothelioma diagnosis or a potential asbestos related lung cancer case, I would recommend this law firm without any reservations. They are great people!

Great Job

Daniel did a great job representing me. He went 110%, proving that you are better off with a small law firm than one of the corporate giants. I highly recommend Daniel.

The best!

Dan guided me through the legal process while be respectful of the medical issues I continue to deal with from Mesothelioma. I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking the skills of a top notch attorney.

Meirowitz & Wasserberg Law Firm

I feel so blessed to have had Meirowitz & Wasserberg Law Firm represent my Husband and I in a great time of need in our lives. l highly recommend this firm. Daniel Wasserberg was the most personable, caring lawyer one could ever have. He was always there for our every need with compassion, loyalty a...nd sincerity. He truly cares about his clients. I learned to love this man as a Son.

If there were more lawyers like Dan there'd be no more " bad lawyer" jokes.

My case was turned down by a "big" legal firm and then Dan's firm was recommended to me as a small firm ready to go the extra mile for their clients. I called, not expecting much, and Dan made an appointment to come from NY to see me in Philly. He spent a couple of hours in my home asking questions ...and at the end of his visit said that as far as he was concerned, I had a case. His percentage was very reasonable considering that if I got nothing, neither would he. He came to Philly at least 4 times and I had 2 depositions, one filmed. At these depositions I watched his interactions with the many opposing attorneys that were in attendance to question me and I could see he was respected as well as liked. Where I had no expectations, Dan settled with 6 companies without me having to go to court in NY. His percentage was reasonable as were his itemized expense charges. I was never charged for our many phone conversations. Dan worked hard on my behalf and all the settlements he negotiated for me were well beyond my expectations. Even after all the cases were settled, Dan would call just to see how I was doing. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney and in addition to that, he is a really nice person who actually cares about his client. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him.
