WELLESLEY, Mass., April 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sokolove Law, a national leader and pioneer of legal services, today launched MesotheliomaHelpNow.com as a leading online resource whose goal is to provide both legal and comprehensive information about mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases for patients, their families, and other visitors.
"For more than 30 years, Sokolove Law has worked to educate people about their rights," said Jim Sokolove, founder. "The firm has helped people in all 50 states get the legal support they need to move personal injury claims successfully through the court system.

With nearly 3,000 new cases diagnosed annually, mesothelioma is a rare and deadly cancer most people know little about it.
As defined by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), mesothelioma is a type of cancer in which malignant cells are found in the chest or abdomen lining, called the mesothelium. The disease can also affect the lining of the heart.
A mesothelioma diagnosis usually leaves a patient and their family searching for information about mesothelioma treatment options. Mesothelioma is directly linked to asbestos exposure and symptoms typically have a long latency period, meaning a diagnosis is not made until decades after the exposure.
"Families may not know of the options that are available to them from a resources perspective. This is why we created and launched MesotheliomaHelpNow.com," Sokolove said. "Families should leverage this resource as well as others to determine whether or not they should seek a legal consultation. Despite the nature of these situations, the compensation garnered from taking legal action can help families with medical bills, treatment, lost wages and more."
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, consider speaking to an experienced mesothelioma lawyer. For more than 30 years, Sokolove Law has helped bring justice and compensation to thousands of mesothelioma victims — and their families.
