what is Wisconsin asbestos attorney?

Wisconsin asbestos attorney Frank Pasternak was interviewed November 17, 2002 and again on February 8. 2006 by Rick Barrett of Wisconsin's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel in articles entitled "Curing the asbestos conundrum: Issues offer no easy solution" and "Senate to debate asbestos fund."

Wisconsin asbestos lawyer Frank Pasternak discussed in the articles issues involving Wisconsin asbestos cases asbestos companies, and incidents of asbestosis and mesothelioma.  The articles quote Attorney Pasternak stating:

"The number of asbestos lawsuits has peaked in recent years because an illness such as mesothelioma - which is directly related to asbestos - can take 30 years to develop and may have stemmed from workplace exposure in the 1960s and 1970s, said Milwaukee attorney Frank Pasternak.

Asbestos claims are difficult to prove, and there are laws to protect companies from frivolous lawsuits, said Pasternak, who represents asbestos plaintiffs. 'I have great faith in the justice system. Let the legal marketplace work itself out,' he said."


[With regard to a proposed asbestos bailout for corporations] "Taxpayers will end up footing the bill for corporations," said Frank Pasternak, a Milwaukee attorney who has handled asbestos-victim cases.
