Veteran attorneys Roland Tellis and Dan Alberstone manage the firm's California office, who have earned a solid reputation for protecting consumers in the Golden State.
Attorneys in the Los Angeles office handle a variety of cases including water contamination, environmental, mesothelioma, deceptive advertising and consumer fraud.
In 2005, Tellis was recognized by the FBI for prosecuting a $120 million Ponzi scheme.
Asbestos verdicts of significance include a $20 million win in 2009 for a mesothelioma patient and her family. In 2011 firm attorneys convinced the California Court of Appeals to reverse a judgment in favor of an asbestos company.
With five offices stretching from coast to coast, Baron and Budd remains at the forefront in protecting consumers who have been harmed by corporate wrongdoing. The firm was founded almost 40 years ago to fight for those who have suffered from asbestos exposure. Since then, Baron and Budd has expanded its practice to advocate for consumer and environmental issues.
The firm's practice areas also include water contamination, whistleblower/qui tam litigation, unsafe drugs, overtime pay violations and mesothelioma/asbestos issues.
Despite the firm's national growth, asbestos litigation is still the cornerstone of the firm's practice. Baron and Budd's advocacy for mesothelioma patients is virtually unmatched. Over the years the firm has supported the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, the International Mesothelioma Program and the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.
