Vasser & Vasser Attorney at Law, 516 Myrtle Hill Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70810, US

Baron & Budd was founded more than 35 years ago. Baron & Budd was one of the first law firms to successfully handle a mesothelioma lawsuit and was one of the mesothelioma law firms that assisted in exposing the horrible asbestos industry cover-up. Ever since, our mesothelioma attorneys have built a practically unmatched reputation as one of the leading mesothelioma law firms in the country. Our mesothelioma lawyers have an established track record of success, even in Louisiana where many people have been harmed by asbestos exposure.In fact, Baron & Budd is proud to be part of the Louisiana community. Our office in Baton Rouge is headed by Burton LeBlanc, a Louisiana native who has actively worked to protect the mesothelioma patients and others in Louisiana who have been harmed by asbestos exposure. Our mesothelioma attorneys in Louisiana also remain active in the legal arena, continuing to represent clients in the courtroom. Recently, our lawyers achieved a $6.2 million settlement for a boilermaker and his family who passed from mesothelioma after a three-year battle. The firm also achieved $4.4 million in settlements against a group of asbestos companies responsible for a client's asbestos exposure -and ultimate diagnosis of mesothelioma. Our mesothelioma lawyers have even gone all the way to the Louisiana Supreme Court on behalf of a mesothelioma client. When the asbestos companies responsible for one of our client's mesothelioma tried to overturn a $3.2 million verdict in favor of the client and his family, our attorneys battled the appeal all the way to the Louisiana Supreme Court because we believed in our client.Baron & Budd mesothelioma lawyers are also proud to support mesothelioma patients in and out of the courtroom. The firm is a 2012-2013 platinum-level sponsor of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), a non-profit founded in 2004 by mesothelioma widow Linda Reinstein and Doug Larkin. ADAO is dedicated to raising public awareness about the dangers of asbestos, building a strong support community around asbestos and mesothelioma patients and their families, and advocating for a ban on asbestos (did you know that asbestos is still not banned in the U.S.?). ADAO does not make medical or legal referrals.Baron & Budd mesothelioma attorneys are also proud of their relationships with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and CURE media group. Baron & Budd mesothelioma lawyers underwrote the translation of the NCCN Clinical Guidelines into the more patient-friendly NCCN Patient Guidelines. Our mesothelioma attorneys also partnered with CURE Media Group to create Understanding Mesothelioma, a comprehensive guide for patients and caregivers dealing with mesothelioma.
