Who sponsors this site
Everything on Mesothelioma-Lung-Cancer.org is free to read. We do not sell advertising, we do not run banner ads, and we never ask you to pay for anything. The site is paid for by sponsorship from a law firm. This page names them and explains exactly what that does and does not buy.
Who sponsors us
Danziger & De Llano, LLP — 440 Louisiana St., Suite 1212, Houston, Texas. They sponsor this site. When a reader asks us to connect them with a lawyer, they are the firm we connect them with, and that is how the site is funded.
Whitman Mesothelioma Law Firm also sponsors this site. Whitman represents mesothelioma and asbestos clients in California and Texas, and works out of its own offices in the Bay Area, Santa Clara and Sacramento alongside Texas.
One thing we will tell you rather than let you discover: Whitman and Danziger & De Llano are affiliated. Whitman publishes Danziger & De Llano as its parent organization and the two share a Houston address. They are separate brands with separate practices, and they are not independent of each other. We would rather you weigh that yourself than find it out later.
If the roster changes — a genuinely unaffiliated firm, or a change in either arrangement — this page is where it will be recorded, and it is the page our footer points at from every page on the site.
What sponsorship pays for
- Writing, editing and updating the medical, legal and benefits content
- Medical and legal review of that content by the named experts on our advisory board
- The research behind our directories of doctors, law firms, trust funds and exposure sites
- The free tools and calculators, and the hosting that keeps all of it available
What sponsorship does not buy
- No editorial control. Our sponsor does not decide what we publish, what we say, or what we leave out.
- No pre-publication review. Content is not sent to the sponsor for approval before it goes live.
- No preferential placement. Our directories list firms and doctors on the same basis whether or not they sponsor us. A listing cannot be bought.
- No say in who we say is right for you. Where we think a reader would be better served elsewhere — by the VA, by a treatment center, by a different kind of claim, or by no lawyer at all — we say so.
The overlap we think you should know about
Two attorneys who serve on our advisory board practice at our sponsoring firm, and they review legal content on this site. We disclose that rather than describe the board as fully independent, because it is not, and you should be able to weigh it yourself. Our medical content is reviewed by clinicians who have no relationship with the firm and no connection to case outcomes.
How to check us
Our editorial policy sets out how content is researched, sourced, reviewed and corrected. Our advisory board page names every reviewer and their credentials. If something on this site looks wrong, tell us and we will correct it — the correction process is in the editorial policy.
