A competent attorney you can count on
Gary Anderson is the most efficient and down to earth attorney I’ve ever met. When I found out I have lung cancer in 2015, I was utterly shocked. I’ve never been a smoker, so I thought that was impossible. Little did I know asbestos was the culprit. I worked on a construction site for several years back in the 70s, and asbestos dust was everywhere. My family has been very supportive and urged me to file for compensation as soon as they heard about asbestos trust funds. We were very lucky to meet attorney Mr. Anderson, who was extraordinary in handling my case and taking care of all the papers for me. He was always reassuring us that my chances of recovering compensation for my diagnosis were very high and sure enough, the trust fund approved my claim and the case was successfully solved. Mr. Anderson is prompt, knowledgeable and one of the most dedicated persons I’ve ever had the honor to meet. The entire ELG legal team was also very professional. If you’ve suffered an asbestos injury, you shouldn’t hesitate to contact Mr. Anderson!

Efficiency, professionalism and a compassionate approach
I received excellent legal services from Gary Anderson. He is nothing short of amazing when it comes to efficient information gathering and setting up realistic expectations for his clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Anderson to anyone who needs a highly experienced, competent and also compassionate personal injury attorney. My case would have probably taken more than a year to reach an outcome had it not been for the outstanding skills and proficiency of Mr. Anderson. With this exceptional attorney taking care of my claim, I was able to recover compensation for my lung cancer diagnosis in only a few months!

Gary Anderson is a trustworthy attorney and a specialist in asbestos litigation
When I was told I have mesothelioma, I was devastated. The fact that I was soon going to run out of money for my treatment did not help either. At the suggestion of a friend, I contacted Mr. Anderson in the hopes that I could get compensation to support my treatment and other medical expenses. I was not aware of the time limit but fortunately, my case met the eligibility criteria and I was able to file a claim under the assistance of Mr. Anderson and his dedicated team. He has helped me enormously and I could not thank him enough for the great services!

A great, trustworthy attorney
I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2015 after having worked for 7 years in a chemical plant which used asbestos. My family insisted I file a claim against the company so I could at least have the costs of my treatment covered. Attorney Gary Anderson has been very honest and straightforward since the beginning, explaining what the exact legal process was and how long it would take until I could receive compensation. He is clearly a very dedicated, experienced and diligent professional and I couldn’t be more thankful I chose him to take care of my case. If you’ve been injured by asbestos in the workplace, Gary is definitely the attorney you’re looking for!
