Understanding Mesothelioma
A Collaborative Effort with
Gori Law Firm
At Leverson Legacy Insurance, our commitment to health awareness is personal. I lost my mother to lung cancer this past April, and her battle drives me to support others facing similar challenges. Mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure, often goes undetected for years, making early awareness crucial.
We've partnered with Gori Law Firm, a leader in asbestos litigation with over $4 billion in settlements, to promote awareness and support for mesothelioma victims. If you or a loved one is affected, seek legal counsel immediately.

"If you don't ask, you might miss out."
Growing up, I often heard, "A closed mouth doesn't get fed." It was a lesson that taught me to ask for what I needed instead of waiting for it to come my way. That’s why in my business, I’m committed to sharing low to no-cost resources—because if you don't seek, you might miss out on what's available.
