Andrew Balcer grew up in Granite City, Illinois—a steel town where workers got sick and died from asbestos exposure at the mills and industrial plants that surrounded his community. That reality shaped his entire legal career. For 17 years, Andrew has dedicated himself exclusively to asbestos litigation, fighting for cancer-stricken workers and their families against the large industrial companies that knew the dangers but exposed people anyway. His work has helped obtain over $100 million in verdicts and settlements for asbestos victims who, without experienced representation, would have zero chance against these corporate giants.
“Without sick people coming forward and hiring attorneys to prosecute cases against asbestos companies, victims would receive no compensation and these large companies would face no consequences for their cruel actions. That’s why I do this work.”

Andrew’s practice focuses on asbestos-related illness, representing workers and families harmed by corporate negligence. His entire career has been dedicated to this cause, giving him unmatched expertise in asbestos litigation.
Asbestos Litigation
Asbestos exposure causes devastating cancers including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Andrew has dedicated his entire career to holding the companies that made, used, and exposed workers to asbestos accountable—recovering over $100 million for victims and their families.
Many asbestos cases involve products liability claims against manufacturers who knew their products contained deadly asbestos but failed to warn workers and consumers. Andrew has extensive experience identifying asbestos-containing products and proving corporate knowledge.
When asbestos exposure takes a loved one, families deserve justice. Andrew represents surviving spouses, children, and other family members in wrongful death claims, ensuring that even after death, the responsible companies are held accountable.
Property owners who knew about asbestos hazards but failed to protect workers and visitors can be held liable. Andrew pursues premises liability claims against facilities that exposed people to asbestos without proper warnings or protections.
Asbestos litigation often involves mass tort claims against multiple defendants. Andrew’s 17 years of experience navigating complex multi-defendant litigation and bankruptcy trusts helps maximize recovery for each client.
Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive cancer caused almost exclusively by asbestos exposure. Andrew works daily with terminally ill mesothelioma patients and their families, fighting to secure compensation during the worst period of their lives while ensuring the responsible companies face consequences.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness, Andrew Balcer doesn’t just fight for compensation—he fights to ensure that the companies responsible face real consequences. For 17 years, he has stood with families during the worst period of their lives, taking on industrial giants that would otherwise face no accountability for their actions.
