"Since filing my first asbestos case in 1980, I have represented many wonderful clients. Our mesothelioma law firm's primary goal is making sure that each of our clients gets fair and prompt compensation. We only accept a small number of cases so that we can give our full attention to each client. Based on our experience, I'm confident my law office will obtain the result you deserve."

Jack K. Clapper is a pioneer in asbestos-litigation and is the founder of one of the first law firms in California to represent victims of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. Since 1979, Mr. Clapper has devoted his practice to securing just compensation for individuals who have been stricken with mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer.  Through jury verdicts and negotiated settlements, Mr. Clapper has collected millions of dollars for asbestos-victims and their families.  

Prior to becoming a lawyer, Mr. Clapper was a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force and served in combat in Viet Nam.  Mr. Clapper received his Juris Doctor degree from Hastings College of Law in San Francisco in 1978.  

In forming Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason, Mr. Clapper assembled a team of hardworking, dedicated individuals who make it their mission to seek and obtain justice for victims of asbestos poisoning.  Under Jack Clapper’s leadership and guidance, the law firm staff makes it a practice to treat each client as a unique individual, promptly respond to all client inquiries, and work tirelessly to obtain quick and successful resolution of the client’s claims.   

Mr. Clapper’s philosophy in handling asbestos cases is to provide each client with individual attention, be diligent and thorough, and obtain just compensation for the security of the client as quickly as possible.
