I wanted to add my thanks and appreciation for the work you and RGWPC do in helping those effected by mesothelioma. For helping people get settlements to help with everything that goes with mesothelioma but more importantly the work Roger and everyone associated with RGWPC do for research to hopefully find a cure for mesothelioma and for all the information you have to offer those facing the battle ahead."
"It has to be a tough job seeing people go through this time and time again. I sometimes read the forum at MARF's site and read about people starting their battle, knowing it will be a tough one. I am very thankful you gave me the opportunity for and helped me with my tribute to Sherry, it makes me feel better knowing her story is out there for people to see. I think she would've liked the idea of her story helping other people. I know I said it before but I'm glad Sherry chose such a caring firm as RGWPC, Thanks again, Virgil"

"I am the widow of Fred Bynder who's life was cut short by this horrific disease. Fred passed
away almost three years ago shortly after we attended the First
Annual mesothelioma Symposium in Las Vegas. Not a day goes by that I
don't miss my beloved husband and I'm still and probably
always will be so angry at those who still turn a blind eye to this
dreadful disease.
I applaud all of you who are still in the fight. Perhaps one day it
will be a disease of the past, however I'm sure that will not be
the case in my lifetime."
Thank you for your good work. I appreciate all the information that I
receive from you."

" On behalf of all Mesothelioma patients please let me extend my sincerest gratitude for your generosity and your continued commitment to the fight against asbestos cancer. As well as I am doing, I nevertheless regard myself to be vulnerable to a recurrence and therefore dependent upon research for an ultimate cure of the beast. So from myself and all of my family, please accept our thanks. And special thanks to your firm for holding the companies who caused my disease accountable, as well."
Klaus Brauch, age 56, Huntington Beach, CA, 5 year survivor
" There is nothing so devastating as hearing the diagnosis a loved one has meso. It is at such a time a family needs guidance not only on legal issues but, more importantly, on methods of treatment. Because Roger Worthington has witnessed firsthand the suffering of mesothelioma victims, he established and funded MARF--a foundation focusing on finding a cure for this deadly disease. This has resulted in MARF attracting some of the most experienced medical authorities in mesothelioma treatment. I know of no other lawyer in America who funds a foundation on his own which, if successful, would minimize his potential client base. But Roger recognized a responsibility to mesothelioma victims that transcended the courtroom. As such, while he is an extraordinary advocate for clients throughout the litigation process, he has also become an extraordinary advocate, on behalf of all mesothelioma victims, within the halls of Congress as he has sought federal funding for R&D to find an ultimate cure for meso. No client could ask more of a legal advocate."
Lt. Col. James Zumwalt, USMCR, son of Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, Jr., who died from mesothelioma on January 2, 2000.
"God arranged for the best attorney in every aspect. Roger Worthington has assisted all along the way from helping me receive the best medical advice and treatments to ensuring the appropriate companies are held accountable down to just the nuts and bolts work he has put in."

"I can't tell you how much I appreciate your firm's help with the medical side of my case! It's something I never would have expected from a legal firm. You folks are a true asset to asbestos sufferers!"

"When John was diagnosed, our doctors told us he had two months to live. We were devastated. They had given up on us. Then I met Roger Worthington. He knew more about mesothelioma than our doctors. His office helped educate us about our options and gave us what we needed most -- hope. Thanks to Roger, we found a world class surgeon and scientist who has been a godsend. John is now on a novel treatment plan that allows him to travel, laugh, feel useful and play with his two daughters."

" H ad I not searched the Internet and stumbled across your site and had your offices contacted me I don't know where we would have been----you guys were a God Send. Your office knew so much about the disease. You guys do wonderful work." Laurie MacDonald-Treiber, daughter of
Susan MacDonald , Cypress, CA
"My job is to direct the patients to where there is meaningful data. I refer them to www.mesothel.com for patients' stories because one of the most frequent questions I get asked is, "How is this to go through? How difficult is this? What is it like? What do I expect?" I tell them if they want testimonials of patients going through different treatment options, that is the only website on the web that has a number of different testimonials, detailed stories about what I went through to get to this point of different types of treatment, not just my type but every type of treatment. This is the only website I have found that gives information that is relevant to patient treatment."
Dr. Robert Cameron, in his testimony in the Albert
Bercher vs. ALFA LAVAL, INC., et al. Wednesday, September 13,
2006. For the County of Los Angeles, Department 53.
More than thirty-five law firms endorse Dr. Cameron's expertise on their websites. We are pleased to have earned the respect of doctors such as Dr. Cameron and will continue to provide mesothelioma patients with the medical information they need to make informed decisions.
The following is in response to an email posted on the Association of Cancer Online Resources, December 3, 2004 regardingthe Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation ( www.marf.org ) ... MARF is devoted to finding a cure for mesothelioma. It is the only research center of its kind. It was founded by Roger Worthington who put I believe the amount was 7 1/2 million dollars (sic) of his own money and much more since. He is the most wonderful person I have ever had the privilege of spending a little time with and Chris Hahn likewise. Chris is the executive director. You will not find a nicer person anywhere and sweeter.
These two men have dedicated themselves to eradicating mesothelioma and are very serious about their goal. My husband has mesothelioma and we live in Alabama. MARF connected us with the only Dr. in the southeast that is a member of MARF and we truly love him and my husband has done wonderful under his care.
