I was 74 years old when I was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. At the time of my diagnosis I was a retired nurse. I was never occupationally exposed to asbestos. However I did breathe in asbestos fibers at home when I laundered my husband's dirty work clothes. My husband had worked in a foundry and at a ship–dismantling yard in Richmond, California. When we first consulted with another well–known asbestos law firm in California, and were disappointed when that firm rejected their case. We called Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason, they determined that we were entitled to compensation. We sued my husband's employers. Clapper Patti Schweizer and Mason were able to develop evidence to prove that my husband's employers should have known about the hazards of asbestos, and should have taken steps to protect my husband's and our family members from being exposed to asbestos fibers. Clapper Patti Schweizer and Mason argued that my husband's employers had a duty to protect me from the asbestos my husband encountered at work, and that they failed to take any steps to prevent me from being exposed. Clapper Patti Schweizer and Mason argued that my husband's employers should have instructed their employees about asbestos hazards, that they should have provided them with breathing protection, and that they should have provided changing rooms and laundry facilities so the employees did not bring home fibers home to their families. We settled with the responsible companies just before trial for a total of $4.4 million.

I lost my husband to mesothelioma. At the time I was devastated! I found myself without any real support or assistance. It was my good fortune, however, that my husband's former co-worker referred me to the law offices of Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason. Not only did I find them unsurpassed in the area of law as it pertained to my case, but I will never forget the compassion and caring of Jack Clapper and every member of his staff that was extended to me at a time when I needed it most. The attention and assistance they gave me was what I sorely needed. I always had the assurance that my well-being was a high priority with them, and they lived up to my high expectations. Words cannot express my high regard for this firm. Despite the intervening years, I continue to regard them as friends, and I cannot say enough in praise of how they persevered on my behalf. If ever anyone needed the assistance of a dedicated and committed law firm, they could never find anyone of higher integrity and greater dedication. I'm so thankful these wonderful people were there for me! Respectfully, Esther Cobb
