Sokolove Law LLC

What Sokolove Law LLC does

Sokolove Law LLC is a national plaintiff-side personal injury law firm founded in 1979 in Massachusetts and headquartered at 1330 Boylston Street, Suite 400, Chestnut Hill, MA. The firm specializes in asbestos and mesothelioma litigation and operates 40+ physical offices across the United States serving clients in all 50 states, with traveling attorneys who meet clients at their homes at no cost. Practice areas have expanded beyond the core mesothelioma focus to include birth injuries, product liability (talcum powder, Roundup, hernia mesh, Paragard, Bard PowerPort), dangerous drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Depo-Provera, Suboxone), nursing home abuse, disability insurance denial, medical malpractice, personal injury, and sexual abuse representation, with specialized sub-brands for veterans' asbestos claims.

The firm's technical foundation is a proprietary, 45+ year evidence repository comprising databases of asbestos-containing products, job sites, naval ships, and military bases, plus physical and digital warehouses of internal corporate documents from asbestos-related defendants. It maintains a medical support team of registered nurses who advise on diagnoses and treatment options, and utilizes VA-accredited attorneys to assist veterans with VA benefits claims (over $3,930/month) alongside legal claims. The firm files suit against an average of 75+ companies per case and pursues parallel asbestos trust fund claims against an estimated $30 billion pool still available from bankrupt defendants. Reported client outcomes include over 9,300 asbestos cases handled, over $5.5 billion recovered for mesothelioma clients, $5M-$11.4M average trial verdicts, $1M-$1.4M average settlements, and over $10.3 billion in lifetime client recoveries as of late 2025.

The business model is contingency-fee only: clients pay no upfront costs or hourly fees and the firm is compensated only on successful settlement or verdict. Lead generation runs through TV advertising (featuring founder Jim Sokolove, known as the 'mesothelioma guy'), a state-by-state SEO-optimized website with free case-review forms, social media, PR around recoveries milestones, and 24/7 phone intake across multiple 800-numbers. Primary customer segments are mesothelioma/asbestos victims (with veterans representing roughly 42% of the firm's mesothelioma caseload), birth injury families, and victims of dangerous drugs, defective products, and nursing home abuse. The firm is privately held with founder-origin ownership; Jim Sokolove retired in 2013 and Ricky A. LeBlanc serves as Managing Attorney.

1. Contingency Fee - Mesothelioma and Asbestos Litigation: The firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis. Clients pay no upfront costs or hourly fees. The firm only receives compensation if the case results in successful compensation (settlement or verdict). This aligns firm incentives with client outcomes and removes financial barriers for clients seeking legal representation.
2. Asbestos Trust Fund Claims: Additional revenue stream from filing claims against asbestos trust funds established by bankrupt companies. These trusts contain an estimated $30 billion. Many clients qualify for compensation from multiple trust funds in addition to lawsuit settlements.
3. VA Benefits Assistance: The firm helps veterans file for VA benefits worth over $3,930 per month through VA-accredited attorneys, in addition to pursuing legal claims.
