Asbestos Causes Mesothelioma and Other Cancer
Mr. Eiden’s drive is to help people injured by asbestos exposure. Asbestos is a known carcinogen. Being exposed to asbestos can lead to a variety of diseases, including mesothelioma, an aggressive form of cancer that often targets the lungs. There are treatments, but the disease is always fatal.
My Clients Are Like Family
“I think of myself as a person first and a lawyer second,” Mr. Eiden says. “When I go to meet with a client, I walk in the door as a real person who can relate to what they’re going through.
I know what cancer can do to someone. The treatments involved. How cancer affects both the person with the diagnosis and all the family members. I hope the clients I meet with see me as someone who is authentic, someone who really cares about what they’re going through.
Being able to explain how the legal process works is important. Sometimes my clients have never even heard of mesothelioma, and they’re trying to understand what they’re facing and how this diagnosis happened. But everything begins with gaining a client’s trust — letting them know I understand, that I’m there for them throughout the process.
“They become like family and friends to me. Even when a case seems to be coming close to a resolution, I like to check in with my clients to see how they’re doing,” Mr. Eiden adds. “To me, the process is personal, and I want to help them both legally and as a person who really cares about them.”
