Overview

In 1978, Michael Thornton founded Thornton Law Firm. A team of humble beginnings, the firm was initially backed by three founding members. But it wasn’t long before the attorneys made a name for themselves in the New England area. They quickly got to work on establishing the firm, providing plaintiff representation for victims of mesothelioma and similar asbestos-based diseases. Four decades later, the firm has grown exponentially, backed by a team of 19 accomplished attorneys including:

  • Partner Attorneys
  • Associate Attorneys
  • Counsel Attorneys

The core focus of the firm is clear: asbestos-related illnesses. Thornton also maintains a dedicated Asbestos Staff comprised of three paralegals, a litigations manager and a focused researcher/investigator. These qualified legal professionals are experts on asbestos-related matters. No matter which member of the firm a client teams up with as their base attorney, he/she can remain confident that his/her matters will be paid necessary and comprehensive attention.

Thornton Law Firm’s legal expertise is coupled with experience-backed knowledge. In establishing a solid reputation as a rigorous and dedicated legal team, the firm is reinforced by alliances with:
