Your Local and Experienced NJ Asbestos & Mesothelioma Lawyer

The Asbestos and Mesothelioma Department at Keefe Bartels: (From Right to Left) Patrick J. Bartels (front), Josh S. Kincannon, Jennifer Jones, Lisa St. Clair, Roberta Kimball.
Keefe Bartels is located in New Jersey, and we only represent mesothelioma and asbestos exposure victims from this area. Most mesothelioma advertisers are either large out of state firms or they are referral network services, not lawyers. That means that they either: 1. represent you from thousands of miles away without ever even meeting you, or, more likely 2. they refer your case out or sell your information to some local attorney whom you know nothing about. The advertiser or out of state firm then takes a commission from the recovery in your case.
If you are a New Jersey resident who suffered an asbestos related injury from an exposure that occurred in New Jersey, why would you want an attorney from out of state, or representation by an attorney who you never contacted, who you know nothing about, and who simply paid some website to get your name and phone number?
NOTE: Labels in bold are required.
92% of all New Jersey asbestos and mesothelioma cases are handled in the city of New Brunswick in Middlesex County, and assigned to the Honorable Judge Ann McCormick. Patrick has represented mesothelioma victims before Judge McCormick hundreds of times over the past decade and he continues to appear before her on a regular basis. All of our current asbestos and mesothelioma cases are before Judge McCormick; our firm maintains a separate office in New Brunswick to better handle these cases.
When you contact our firm, you will speak to Patrick J. Bartels, one of New Jersey's most respected asbestos and mesothelioma attorneys.

Patrick has litigated against all of these defendants, and is very familiar with these jobsites, because he's been to all of them himself.
