Biography

David Wolf is a Client Liaison based in St. Louis with Weitz & Luxenberg, and represents our law firm throughout the Midwest and Western regions of America. As a Client Liaison, David travels to meet in-person with potential mesothelioma clients to investigate their medical history, as well as asbestos and/or talc exposures. This initial meeting is an exchange of ideas and facts, with the new client explaining his or her case, and David explaining how Weitz & Luxenberg can help. At these meetings, David also carefully takes our prospective clients through the necessary legal documents to ensure their case moves seamlessly from his intake to the assigned Weitz & Luxenberg experienced attorney who will prosecute their case immediately.
