From Lead Counsel: June 2022

Hi everyone, I’m thrilled to be back writing to all of you after a long hiatus. I’ve personally been very busy since 2022 began. I was studying for the Florida bar exam which I took in February and was happy to get the news in April that I had passed. The fact that I took […]
From Lead Counsel: November 2021

Hello again everyone! I hope you had a happy Halloween and are looking forward to a great Thanksgiving. It has been a busy and fruitful November.

From Lead Counsel: October 2021

Hi everyone, I hope you had a great summer and are looking forward to a spectacular fall! The team here at Vogelzang Law is working harder than ever.

Asbestos: A Hidden Burden

As an attorney representing people with cancer due to asbestos exposure (primarily mesothelioma), I have seen families face stage IV cancer in an up-close and personal manner, watching them in the initial stages of diagnosis, through the treatment, and after the loss. Mesothelioma usually isn’t detected until it’s in late stage, with initial symptoms like […]
From Lead Counsel: April 2021

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well and enjoying some version of a holiday. My family is staying close to home this year but it looks like we will be treated to warm temperatures by Midwest standards, so I cannot complain. Over this past month, our Vogelzang Law attorneys began traveling for work after […]
From Lead Counsel: February 2021

February gives us all that first reminder that we will not be in winter forever. With the COVID-19 vaccine on the horizon and each day getting a little more sunlight, it seems like the worst is behind us. I still feel like we just came back from the holidays, and we have already been working […]
From Lead Counsel: January 2021

Happy New Year, everyone! My family and I traveled up to Michigan for a few days to enjoy the holiday break. Due to our son’s school attendance restrictions, we had to return home a little sooner than expected. The vibe was definitely different this year in comparison to any year I can remember. Nevertheless, my […]
From Lead Counsel: December 2020

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, albeit one that may have been a little more reserved than usual. One week before Thanksgiving, my wife and I tested positive for COVID-19. Needless to say, we did not entertain this year. Our son tested positive as well, but thankfully he showed no symptoms. My wife and […]
