To Whom It May Concern:
I lost my husband to mesothelioma. At the time I was devastated! I found myself without any real support or assistance. It was my good fortune, however, that my husband's former co-worker referred me to the Law Offices of Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason
Not only did I find them unsurpassed in the area of law as it pertained to my case, but I will never forget the compassion and caring of Jack Clapper and every member of his staff that was extended to me at a time when I needed it most. The attention and assistance they gave me was what I sorely needed. I always had the assurance that my well-being was a high priority with them, and they lived up to my high expectations.
Words cannot express my high regard for this firm. Despite the intervening years, I continue to regard them as friends, and I cannot say enough in praise of how they persevered on my behalf.
If ever anyone needed the assistance of a dedicated and committed law firm, they could never find anyone of higher integrity and greater dedication. I'm so thankful these wonderful people were there for me!

Mr. Clapper,
Less than two years after I retired at age 59, I experienced severe health problems and consulted a doctor. After a series of tests and exploratory surgery, I was diagnosed with extensive Mesothelioma. My wife and I were told I wouldn't leave the hospital alive.
At my first appointment with my oncologist, he said: "This cancer is caused by asbestos. Asbestos is the only carcinogen known to cause Mesothelioma." That asbestos was dangerous in limited exposures came as a surprise to me. We subsequently found out that there had been extensive studies revealing the risks of even limited exposure decades ago and that this information had been actively suppressed by asbestos companies.
Even so, my wife and I were reluctant to contact an attorney about this; we have always been self-sufficient, maintaining our home and property ourselves plus raising our five children and now our grandson. But the loss of income and ability to maintain our place without outside help, and the impending medical expenses, presented a grim prospect.
So we contacted Clapper and Patti after reading case histories similar to ours. We found Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason to be prompt, informative, professional, considerate, and experienced. They have an excellent support staff, and do quality work.
We were very pleased with the brevity and the outcome of our litigation. And it is most reassuring to know the financial needs of my wife and grandson are well taken care of.

Mr. Clapper,
Thank you with all my heart for the professional services you provided me and my family at a time when we felt so helpless. Your expertise, honesty, integrity, dedication, and responsiveness to our family needs greatly exceeded our expectations. You are a fine example of what I think an attorney should be.
Thanks again for a job well done.
Sincerely, Gloria Sylva
To Whom It May Concern:
Since we are at the end of the legal process in the matter of the wrongful death of my father, this is an appropriate time to send you my comments. I appreciate your united efforts on behalf of our family.
My mother, particularly, has benefitted emotionally by your championing the case of wrongful death. Without those efforts, we would have had a greater sense of loss, in that damage had been caused but never acknowledged.
Thank you very much!

Shortly after we retained Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason to represent us, Mr. Clapper flew to our hometown to meet with my husband and me personally. This personal visit, in my mind, set the tone of our relationship. Over the course of two and a half years, I have found them to be professional and caring, and am confident that they represent my best interests.
The people at Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason were always mindful of my husband's condition. During the time that he was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, staff attorneys also needed to gather background information from him. They always inquired first about how he was feeling and if I felt he was up to talking with them. In most instances they could tell me if they needed a few minutes with him or if it would take some time.
Overall, my family and I have found Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason very easy to work with. Everyone has been very understanding and supportive of our situation. The staff has taken the time to answer whatever questions or concerns we had.

In September 1998 my husband was hospitalized for tests and a biopsy. He was diagnosed with incurable Mesothelioma.
A friend of ours contacted Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason for us. When Mr. Clapper received the information, he immediately contacted us by phone. Within a week he boarded a plane to fly to our area, and rented a car to drive to our home some 60 miles or so from the airport.
When he arrived at our home we were surprised by the information he had already gathered concerning the ships my husband had served aboard. Once he got the necessary information he needed from us to proceed with the case, he returned to his office in California, where he and his staff spent many hours investigating our case and getting all the medical reports from the doctors and hospital where my husband had been treated.
Because of my husband's failing health, Mr. Clapper assembled documentation, made swift arrangements for a videographer and clerk recorder, and contacted the representatives from the involved corporations, in order to hold a deposition in our area.
In January 1999 we started receiving checks, and have received numerous settlement checks since that time. My husband passed away in July 1999, but Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason continue to represent my family to this date.
Mr. Clapper is very dedicated to his clients. As a very satisfied client of Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason, I am very happy to recommend them to represent anyone who has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. Based on my own experience, I know they will represent you with the highest degree of respect and compassion.
