"With over 80 attorneys and more than 350 staff, our size and resources enable our law firm to fight head-to-head with large, powerful corporations responsible for needlessly exposing countless workers and their families to asbestos. In fact, we are widely recognized as one of the largest law firms in the country representing victims of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. But what many of our clients seem to appreciate the most is our caring, committed attorneys and staff, who work hard every day to provide quality legal representation to the people we serve.  Baron & Budd is a nationally-recognized leader in fighting for the rights of asbestos victims. In fact, we were named to the venerable National Law Journal’s “Hot List” of exemplary plaintiffs’ firms three years in a row–the only asbestos law firm in the country and one of only six firms to receive this honor three years running. Many of our attorneys have received awards and honors for their good work."
