Biography
Samuel Meirowitz is an accomplished trial lawyer and relentless advocate for his clients.
He obtained what is believed to be the first multimillion-dollar asbestos verdict seen in more than two decades in a New York federal court and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in personal injury settlements for his clients.
Mr. Meirowitz takes pride in being one who fights for his clients both in and out of the courtroom.
Beyond trying cases, he has organized and conducted union meetings regarding occupational safety hazards faced by workers and given seminars in rural parts of Canada to raise residents’ awareness of the profound dangers of asbestos (a particularly serious threat in that nation’s hinterlands).
Mr. Meirowitz also supports a range of charities. For example, he has participated in the Miles for Mesothelioma run-walk event in South Florida to show solidarity with victims of that horrific, asbestos-caused cancer and to help fund research aimed at finding more effective treatment or, ideally, a cure. Mr. Meirowitz also supports youth sports like the Castlehill Little League baseball team.
