We Can Help
You may not need to file a lawsuit to receive compensation.
Over the past 45 years, PWHD has become nationally renowned for its success in representing thousands of asbestos victims in product liability litigation. We pride ourselves on providing top-level legal services with a focus on working with our clients to identify and obtain their goals.
At PWHD there are no fees to investigate your case and there are no fees until or unless we obtain compensation for you.
Proven Results in Court
For six consecutive years, the multi-million dollar verdicts PWHD obtained for mesothelioma clients were listed in the top 10 verdicts of the entire state of Virginia.
Disclaimer: While our lawyers give every client the attention and dedication they deserve, the outcome is always specific to his or her case. Each case is different, and the outcome of any case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case.
Who May Have Been Exposed To Asbestos?

- Pipefitters
- Insulators
- Boiler Tenders
- Steamfitters
- Machinists
