Asbestos Trust Funds – Bankrupt Asbestos Companies
Due to the overwhelming number of lawsuits filed against asbestos manufacturers, many manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of raw asbestos and asbestos-containing products have set aside over $30,000,000,000 ($30 Billion) in trust funds for victims of asbestos diseases (mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, other cancers). Many of these companies are listed below in addition to sites where the products were potentially used.
The Asbestos Legal Center specializes in filing claims with these numerous Asbestos Trust Funds.

The Most Corrupt Women Lawyers in America – Asbestos Litigation – 2022 (Updated)
Editor’s note: As a married father of two children, be assured that no one has more respect for women and women lawyers than me. Some of the best lawyers in Asbestos Litigation are females. The best. But also some of the absolute worst. Women lawyers and “professionals” who give all women a ‘bad name’. Riddled with corruption, bad faith, and a desire to appease their male superiors, these women below are the worst of the worst: A Judge (Sheri Bluebond) who is an unabashed liar and fraud who ONLY rules with bias; An entirely unqualified, uneducated “executive director” (Laura Paul) who has enabled the misappropriation of billions of dollars in asbestos Trust Funds through a decade of lies of criminal fraud; And a lawyer (Eve Karasik), who has used her close and personal friendship with corrupt Judge Sheri Bluebond to harm the rights of thousands of Asbestos victims and lawyers. I don’t want to write this blog post, but the “truth” needs to be told and perpetuated about these corrupt female lawyers.
