The Northwest’s Premier
Mesothelioma Law Firm

Since 1995, the lawyers at Bergman Draper Oslund Udo, have been fighting to protect the interests of families facing the challenges of mesothelioma. In fact, asbestos law is all we do. With decades of experience, we devote our practice solely to helping families coping with the tragedy of mesothelioma. For each family we represent, we create a small team of professionals that is intensely focused on your needs and treat you with dignity and respect.
After decades of investigating asbestos cases, such as Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, we’ve built an extensive proprietary database with information on local shipyards, major industrial facilities (including Hanford), military bases, paper mills, oil refineries and power plants throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. We also understand the particular circumstances faced by veterans.
