The Gori Law Firm

What The Gori Law Firm does

The Gori Law Firm is a privately held, for-profit plaintiff law firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Edwardsville, Illinois, with 51-100 employees and nine offices across eight states (Illinois, Missouri, New York, California, Washington D.C., Louisiana, and Florida). Its core practice is mesothelioma and asbestos-related disease litigation, with additional practice areas spanning personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability (dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, talc, benzene), workers' compensation (including FELA railroad and Jones Act maritime claims), and whistleblower/qui tam matters. The firm operates on a pure contingency fee model: clients pay no upfront costs, the firm advances all case expenses (court fees, expert witnesses, travel, investigation, legal research), and fees are a percentage of any verdict or settlement. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's primary technical asset is a proprietary database of asbestos exposure sites, products, occupations, and witness testimony assembled over more than 20 years of practice.

The firm is led by Principal Partner and Owner Beth Gori-Gregory and Managing Partner Sara M. Salger. Service delivery combines a 24/7 nationwide toll-free intake line, an online case-evaluation form, free at-home consultations, and in-person meetings at any of the nine office locations. Marketing is content-led: extensive SEO-driven educational content on mesothelioma symptoms, causes, treatments, and state-specific exposure; white papers such as "Asbestos: The Relentless Killer" and "The Deadly Toll of Asbestos Exposure Among Navy Veterans"; a dedicated VA claims service line for military veterans; community sponsorships including the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation and the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization; and an active social presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and Instagram, with a Spanish-language site variant.

Quantified performance includes reported cumulative recoveries exceeding $4 billion and, per KCIC's 2022 Asbestos Litigation Year in Review, more than 16% of all U.S. asbestos-related lawsuits filed in 2022 — the highest share among plaintiff firms. The firm also facilitates claims against more than 60 active asbestos bankruptcy trust funds holding approximately $30 billion in aggregate assets, with average per-claim payouts reported in the $100,000-$300,000 range and certain clients reportedly receiving compensation within 90 days of filing. The firm is privately held with no external investment or parent company disclosed.
