Seeger Weiss Asbestos Attorneys in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Right next door to Philadelphia’s City Hall, 1515 Market Street is the home of Seeger Weiss’s Pennsylvania office.

2007 marked Seeger Weiss’s expansion to Pennsylvania. A hub for class action litigation, asbestos law suits, and mesothelioma law firms, Pennsylvania was the natural next step for this vibrant and growing law firm. To Chris Seeger, starting an office in Pennsylvania was “the easiest decision” to make.

Pennsylvania is a major center of asbestos, mesothelioma and class action law firms. (Two pioneers of the class action law suit, David Berger and Harold Kohn, began their practices in Pennsylvania.) Pennsylvania has fostered one of the top class action legal communities in the country, making it the perfect location for asbestos litigation. Pennsylvania is a center for legal scholarship because it is the site of many law schools, including University of Pennsylvania Law School, Widener University School of Law, Drexel University Earle Mack School of Law, Villanova University School of Law, Temple University Beasley School of Law, and the Rutgers University School of Law at Camden (right over the river from Pennsylvania). The headquarters of the American Law Institute are also in Pennsylvania.
