About Gregory
Biography
Gregory A. Cade is an attorney specializing in Environmental and Occupational Law who has successfully represented thousands of clients throughout the Southeastern region of the U.S. over the course of his career. He is also the chairman of Environmental Litigation Group, P.C. which he joined in 1993 as an investigator and litigation paralegal. Gregory A. Cade has been recognized as a specialist in Environmental Trial Attorneys by the AATA and has also been deemed one of Birmingham’s Top 40 Under 40, a prestigious award offered to successful young professionals for their remarkable achievements.
His primary area of practice is asbestos mesothelioma, having assisted numerous Americans who have been affected by pleural mesothelioma or other asbestos-related conditions following prolonged occupational or environmental exposure during his vast legal experience of over 25 years. The attorney has efficiently aided clients who have been intentionally or negligently exposed to these carcinogenic minerals in the process of filing a lawsuit against asbestos manufacturers or companies, thus obtaining the financial compensation they were eligible for. Gregory A. Cade’s personal vision can be summed up as “Know your case”, which has also been the leading principle throughout his professional practice. He approaches each asbestos litigation case from both a personal, humane point of view and a legal perspective in order to ensure the most positive outcome for his clients.
Gregory A. Cade received his Bachelor’s Degree in Natural Science and Mathematics from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health in 1991 and completed a master’s program in Occupational Health, Safety, and Industrial Hygiene at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1996. Subsequently, the attorney obtained his Juris Doctor degree from Miles School of Law in 2001. Over the course of his legal practice, Gregory A. Cade was the recipient of an impressive number of awards, including Alabama’s 2011 and 2012 Top 100 Trial Lawyers, Martindale Hubbell’s AV Preeminent Rating for Legal Ability and Ethical Standards, and Birmingham Magazine’s Top Attorneys in 2011. He is also a member of several groups and associations such as the National Registry of Environmental Professionals, the American Bar Association, as well as the Magic City Bar Association.
Gregory A. Cade has also been an environmental consultant and OSHA compliance expert for a brief period of time, his work focusing on groundwater contamination and worker exposure to hazardous substances in various industries such as petroleum processing and steel manufacturing. The attorney has worked closely with epidemiologists, toxicologists, and other scientists at the UCLA School of Public Health as well, which undoubtedly represented a great opportunity during which he substantially expanded his knowledge on the detrimental health effects of occupational and environmental exposure to toxic agents. Additionally, Gregory A. Cade is a Registered Environmental Manager of the National Association of Environmental Professionals.
The fundamental professional motivation of Gregory A. Cade is represented by his avid interest in the legal system, as well as by his passion for science, particularly chemistry and biology. Desiring to pursue a career that would cater to both of his passions, he decided to become an environmental attorney, a profession that Gregory A. Cade considers to be very rewarding. Although asbestos cases are often extremely difficult and challenging to resolve, the attorney is permanently bound to provide his clients with support and quality legal representation. Thus, toxic exposure victims can successfully obtain the compensation they are entitled to from companies that turn a blind eye to chemical use and exposure or completely neglect the issue.
With a vast experience of over 20 years, Gregory Cade can recover just compensation for your injury.

Competence, professionalism and compassion
Gregory Cade is by far the most compassionate and driven attorney I’ve ever met. My mother was a textile mill worker in the ‘60s and was exposed to insane amounts of asbestos dust on a daily basis.

A reliable and straightforward attorney!
This exceptional attorney has made a very painful time more bearable for me and my family.

The best asbestos attorney you’ll ever meet!
I would like to thank Gregory Cade for his excellent legal assistance and also to the ELG team for everything they did for me.

A highly skilled and dedicated litigator
I would like to begin by saying that Gregory A. Cade is an exceptional attorney. I was an insulator for a good 12 years and though I obviously knew I was working with asbestos, I had no idea how dangerous it is. I was shocked when my doctor told me I have mesothelioma in 2015 but at least it was not ...
