(Main Office)

Founded in 1983, Howard, Brenner & Nass, P.C. and its predecessor firms have aggressively represented thousands of clients in complex and non-complex litigation. Our formula for success is simple. In order to succeed in litigation it is essential that an attorney be intensely prepared and incredibly focused on details. This high degree of preparation sends a message to our adversaries that we are prepared to do battle, if necessary. This leads to results that are sought by our clients.

HARD WORK + PREPARATION + ATTENTION TO DETAILS = EXCELLENT RESULTS

Our firm has earned its reputation as a premier litigation and general practice law firm with a special emphasis on representing individuals who have been injured as a result of their exposure to asbestos. These include victims suffering from mesothelioma, lung cancer, colon cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, asbestosis and asbestos caused pleural disease. Our firm has tried more asbestos cases than any other firm. The reputation of being "trial ready" results in our having the ability to settle claims for fair compensation.

Our firm uses its formula of success to handle other litigation and non-litigation matters. We have become a full-service law firm. We are approached every day to represent clients in all types of matters.
