About Us
WE ARE WILLIAMS CUKER BEREZOFSKY
Since 1984 at the Forefront of Environmental Litigation
Williams Cuker Berezofsky is known for our relentless and successful battles on behalf of people exposed to toxic chemicals. For more than 25 years, we have represented individuals and communities who have suffered the serious –and all-too-often fatal –effects of noxious, polluted environments. Fracking and fracking-related accidents are presenting new problems that have the potential to affect homeowners and businesses.
“Environmental toxic dangers are routinely downplayed by the authorities or the perpetrating source–so communities need to be concerned–even skeptical– about what they’re told. And they need an advocate,” – Mark Cuker, Esq.
“It’s now commonplace, but we were among the first to really delve deeply into these matters, using experts and fashioning remedies that involved a lot of discovery, research, time and effort working directly with victims and communities. We were among the first to insist upon medical monitoring for environmental hazard victims,” – Jerry Williams, Esq.
