Mesothelioma & Lung Cancer

Mesothelioma and lung cancer are two very serious illnesses that can occur as the result of toxic exposure to asbestos. Both of these illnesses can be deadly.

Ovarian Cancer & Talcum Powder

Certain cases of ovarian cancer have been linked to talcum powder use. If you have ovarian cancer and you are or have been a talcum powder user, then you may have a case.

Pharmaceutical and product liability is when a product harms a person or causes an illness or an injury. We primarily deal with product liability cases that involve asbestos.

Licensed Louisiana State Attorney

Lindsey Cheek is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association. She has been practicing law in the state for years. Not only is she highly familiar and comfortable with the nuances and particularities of Louisiana state law, but she is also well versed in the Napoleonic Code, or old civil law, which is still prevalent in Louisiana.

It is also important to know that every other state in the country uses the Uniform Commercial Code. However, Louisiana does not. It uses its own code, and Ms. Cheek is extremely well informed in this area. To be a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association is not an easy feat, and not all attorneys can accomplish it.
