West Virginia, Pennsylvania & Michigan Mesothelioma Lawyer
Asbestos cases since 1988. You will speak with me, not a call center.
I began working asbestos cases in August 1988 as a paralegal on the original West Virginia asbestos mass trials, and I have worked them continuously ever since. I am admitted in Pennsylvania, Michigan and West Virginia, the three states where the mills, foundries and chemical plants that caused these diseases actually operated. When you call this office, you reach me.

What I handle
Mesothelioma, Asbestos Lung Cancer, and Take-Home Exposure
Four kinds of claim, all arising from the same industrial history across the Ohio Valley, western Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Mesothelioma
Pleural and peritoneal, from exposure at steel mills, coke plants, power stations, foundries and chemical plants.
Take-home exposure
The spouse or child who never set foot in the plant and got sick from laundering work clothes. Take-home asbestos cases.
Asbestos lung cancer
Often missed, and often compensable, particularly in smokers whose exposure history is never asked about.
Wrongful death
When the diagnosis came too late, or the claim was never filed before the deadline ran. Wrongful death claims.
The job sites

Take-home exposure
If You Washed His Work Clothes, You Were Exposed Too
Men carried asbestos home on their coveralls every day for decades. Wives shook them out before washing. Children sat on laps. Mesothelioma does not care whether you ever entered the plant, and it can appear forty years after the last load of laundry. If you have been diagnosed and someone in your household worked at one of these sites, you may have a claim in your own right.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of asbestos cases does Lee Davis handle?
Mesothelioma, asbestos lung cancer and take-home exposure claims arising from steel mills, coke plants, power stations, foundries, chemical plants and auto plants across Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Michigan.
Can family members affected by take-home asbestos exposure file a claim?
Yes. Spouses and children who developed mesothelioma from asbestos carried home on work clothing have their own claims. I have handled these cases where the person who got sick never worked a day in the plant.
How long do I have to file a mesothelioma claim?
West Virginia and Pennsylvania both run from the date of diagnosis, not the date of exposure, and wrongful death claims in Pennsylvania run from the date of death. Exposure that ended in 1975 does not bar a claim from a 2026 diagnosis. Call and I will tell you where you stand.
Do I need a local lawyer for an asbestos case?
For an asbestos case, the work is proving which products were at which job site, when, and who is responsible for them now. That is local knowledge. I built my first exposure records on the West Virginia mass trials in 1988 and I have been doing it in these same three states ever since. More about Lee W. Davis.
You Do Not Need to Prove Anything Before You Call
A mesothelioma diagnosis starts a clock, and most families lose time trying to work out whether they have a case at all. Bring the diagnosis and whatever you know about where he worked, and I will tell you honestly whether there is a claim.
