Law Firm Overview
The Metzger Law Group is a boutique firm whose practice is concentrated in litigation of toxic tort and environmental cases in the State of California.

The firm was founded in 1987 by Raphael Metzger and is located in downtown Long Beach. Today the firm has five attorneys and a support staff of 20 dedicated employees. The firm's litigation is primarily focused on occupational toxic injuries rather than contamination of real property.The firm has successfully litigated many cases for clients exposed to benzene-containing solvents and fuels who developed leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and other blood diseases. The firm has also litigated many cases for clients exposed to inhaled toxic substances (e.g., aluminum, beryllium, cobalt, mixed dusts, paraquat, polyvinyl chloride, silica, talc, titanium, tungsten, etc.) who developed interstitial lung disease - a progressive, incurable, and typically fatal disease in which the lung tissue becomes fibrotic (scarred). The firm has also litigated several pesticide cases as well as cases involving other occupational toxic hazards. Finally, the firm litigates Proposition 65 cases, especially regarding industrial carcinogens such as acrylamide, berylium and benzene.
