“I understand that a mesothelioma diagnosis changes everything for you and your family. My commitment is to handle your legal case with the urgency it deserves so you can focus on what matters most — your health and the people you love.”
— Paul Danziger, J.D.
Paul Danziger has spent his entire legal career fighting for mesothelioma patients and asbestos victims. After graduating from the University of Houston Law Center, he dedicated his practice exclusively to asbestos litigation — a decision driven by witnessing how corporations knowingly exposed workers to deadly asbestos fibers for decades.
Over 25 years, Paul has represented thousands of mesothelioma patients, from Navy veterans exposed aboard ships to refinery workers in the Gulf Coast to construction workers who handled asbestos-containing insulation. His approach is direct and compassionate: listen to the patient's story, identify every source of asbestos exposure, and pursue maximum compensation through every available channel — lawsuits, asbestos trust fund claims, and VA benefits.
Paul is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction held by fewer than 3% of Texas attorneys. He has been named a Super Lawyer every year since 2020 and recognized as one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers.
What sets Paul apart is his focus on speed and results. He understands that mesothelioma patients face a median survival of 12-21 months, so every day matters. Most of his cases are resolved within 90-180 days through settlements or trust fund claims, without requiring a trial. His team has recovered over $2 billion in total compensation for asbestos victims.
Paul works on a contingency fee basis, meaning patients and their families pay nothing unless compensation is recovered. He offers free consultations by phone, video, or in-person, and his team is available 24/7. He also makes hospital and home visits for patients who are unable to travel.
Early in my career, I met a retired pipefitter who had been diagnosed with mesothelioma after 30 years of working with asbestos insulation. The companies that made those products knew asbestos was deadly — they had internal memos proving it — but they kept selling it anyway. That case changed my life. I realized that the legal system was one of the only ways these families could get justice, and I decided to dedicate my career to making sure they did.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique.
Over 60 active asbestos trust funds hold more than $30 billion for victims. Paul has filed thousands of claims across these funds:
| Trust Fund | Claims Filed | Typical Payout Range |
|---|---|---|
| Johns Manville Trust | 500+ | $50,000 - $250,000 |
| Owens Corning / Fibreboard Trust | 350+ | $30,000 - $200,000 |
| USG Corporation Trust | 400+ | $25,000 - $150,000 |
| W.R. Grace Trust | 200+ | $20,000 - $175,000 |
| Armstrong World Industries Trust | 300+ | $15,000 - $100,000 |
| Combustion Engineering Trust | 250+ | $20,000 - $125,000 |
