Skikos Crawford Skikos & Joseph attorneys have practiced law together for over twenty years and have earned an outstanding nationwide reputation for excellence. Our attorneys are dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals and businesses that have been injured or wronged.

Our principal attorneys have practiced together since the early 1990s. At the law firm of Lopez, Hodes, Restaino, Milman & Skikos, they helped build that firm's national pharmaceutical drug and medical device litigation practice. Since the creation of Skikos Crawford Skikos & Joseph, our reputation for quality legal representation, especially in the area of mass torts, has continued to grow.

We are recognized as national leaders in defective drug and medical device mass tort litigation. We handle all aspects of pharmaceutical drug and other complex litigation, including investigation, individual case handling, individual and national discovery, law and motion, settlement, trial and appellate work.

In addition to defective drug and medical device mass tort litigation, we represent injury victims in cases involving other types of defective products, toxic exposures and personal injuries. We also represent insurance policyholders in disputes with their insurance companies, and employees who are victims of illegal workplace discrimination, harassment and illegal wage and hour practices.

- Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the chest or abdomen that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Similar to mesothelioma, asbestosis is a lung disease that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Most people who develop mesothelioma and asbestosis were exposed to asbestos through their jobs where they have inhaled asbestos particles or asbestos dust. Others, however, have been exposed to asbestos from working on their vehicles, from making home repairs, and even from cleaning the clothes a person exposed to asbestos.

ATVs are marketed as recreational vehicles that can handle just about any type of terrain.
