Maune Raichle Hartley French & Mudd

What Maune Raichle Hartley French & Mudd does

Maune Raichle Hartley French & Mudd, LLC (MRHFM, also branded as MRHFM Law Firm) is a privately held U.S. plaintiff law firm that exclusively represents mesothelioma victims and their families. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the firm maintains 11 offices across California, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, and represents clients in all 50 states through a mobile-attorney model in which attorneys travel to clients. The firm is staffed by 300+ employees, including 90+ attorneys with 300+ combined years of mesothelioma litigation experience and 30+ dedicated investigators who trace asbestos exposure to responsible companies; it also fields mesothelioma advocates and nurses for non-legal client support.

The firm's product surface consists of legal representation for mesothelioma claims, trust fund claim filing, VA disability claims assistance for veterans (who account for approximately 30% of U.S. mesothelioma diagnoses), wrongful-death representation for families, asbestos exposure investigation, and free case evaluation. The firm has no proprietary software platform and does not describe any technology or AI/ML capabilities; its "technology" is institutional — decades of accumulated knowledge about asbestos-using companies, exposure sites, and trust fund mechanics. Revenue is generated exclusively on a contingency fee basis: clients pay no out-of-pocket costs, the firm advances all case expenses, and the firm is paid only if and when compensation is recovered. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer digital channels (website, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube), free phone and in-person consultations, and outreach targeting the U.S. veteran population. The firm reports having handled 2,000+ cases in the last ten years against a U.S. incidence pool of approximately 3,000 new mesothelioma diagnoses annually and a trust fund pool of $30+ billion available for victim compensation.
