Most families calling us have already fielded one or two calls from a national TV-ad law firm, and they don't know what to make of the difference. A no-cost evaluation with us starts with specifics, not a script: did your father work at Duquesne Works, at Christy Park, or at one of the smaller Mon Valley shops that fed steel to it? Did your mother's husband do maintenance work for Duquesne Light decades ago? We ask about the actual plant, the actual department, because that's what determines which trust or which company can be pursued — not a generic 'worked around asbestos' checklist.
We know getting downtown to a Pittsburgh law office is not realistic when you're managing chemo appointments or hospice visits. So the evaluation happens where you already are — a kitchen table in West Duquesne or Kennedy Heights, a hospital hallway, a hospice room. If you're closer to North Side or Little Bosnia and don't drive much anymore, we'll come to you rather than ask you to come to us. Bring what you have: an old union card, a pay stub, a pension letter, discharge papers from the VA if your loved one served before the mill years. If you don't have any of that, come anyway — part of the evaluation is figuring out what records to chase down and where, since Duquesne Works closed in 1984 and its paper trail is now scattered across union locals, bankruptcy trusts, and old pension administrators.
The evaluation itself typically runs 45 minutes to an hour. We'll tell you plainly whether the work history and diagnosis line up with a claim that's realistic to pursue, whether it looks like a trust claim, a lawsuit, or both, and roughly what kind of timeline to expect. We won't promise a number — nobody honest can, this early — but we will tell you if we think it's not worth your time, which matters just as much. If it does look worth pursuing, we explain the next steps and what we'd need from you, without pressure to sign anything that day.
The trade-off to understand: a no-cost evaluation is not a guarantee of a case. Some families in Castle Garden or Hamtramck Heights come to us with a diagnosis but very thin work-history documentation, and we'll say so honestly rather than string things along. What the evaluation does guarantee is clarity — you'll leave knowing where things actually stand, in plain language, before any money or paperwork is involved.

No-Cost Case Evaluation — questions, answered
Does a no-cost case evaluation in Duquesne really cost nothing, even if my father worked at Duquesne Works decades ago?
Yes — the evaluation itself is free with no obligation, whether the work history goes back to Duquesne Works, Christy Park, or a smaller Mon Valley shop, and there's no fee unless we later recover money for your family.
Can you do the evaluation at a hospital or hospice near Duquesne instead of an office?
Yes — we regularly meet families at the hospital, at hospice, or at home in neighborhoods like West Duquesne or North Side rather than asking anyone to travel during treatment.
What if we don't have records because Duquesne Works closed in 1984?
Bring whatever you have — a pay stub, union card, or pension letter — and part of the free evaluation is identifying which union, trust, or bankruptcy archive still holds the missing pieces.
How is this different from the TV law firms that already called our family in Duquesne?
The evaluation is done locally, in person if you want, by someone who asks about the specific Mon Valley mill and department your loved one worked in rather than reading from a generic asbestos script.
How soon can we get a no-cost evaluation scheduled in Duquesne?
Most Duquesne families get an appointment within 48 hours of calling (412) 679-4382, and we'll work around chemo, hospice, or hospital schedules.
