Supporting Veterans
and Families Facing Mesothelioma
The Mesothelioma Veterans Center is the #1 resource for veterans and families impacted by a mesothelioma diagnosis.
We’ve helped over 3,600 veterans access VA benefits, understand treatments, seek compensation, and get support. Our experienced, veteran-led team can help you, too.
About the Mesothelioma Veterans Center
Mesothelioma is a rare, asbestos-caused cancer that disproportionately affects U.S. veterans. The Mesothelioma Veterans Center was founded in 2015 by veterans, military family members, and VA-accredited attorneys, many of whom have been impacted by mesothelioma and other cancers.
Major Jonathan Nelson (Ret), a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and VA-accredited lawyer, leads the charge to support veterans impacted by mesothelioma.
“If you or someone you love has mesothelioma, I’m ready to review your options and support you through this difficult time.”
With fellow veterans, VA-accredited attorneys, registered nurses, and patient advocates on staff, we’ll support you every step of the way. Meet our mesothelioma experts who work to help families like yours every day.

How We Help U.S. Veterans Like You
Proud U.S. veterans never deserved to develop cancers like mesothelioma from serving their country. Yet every year, around 1,000 veterans are diagnosed with this cancer, typically decades after being exposed to asbestos.
The Mesothelioma Veterans Center offers a broad range of helpful services to make life easier for veterans with mesothelioma, allowing them to get the support they deserve.
Whether you’re in need of help with VA benefits, looking to know more about a diagnosis, or want to understand your medical or legal options more clearly, our team of experts is here to support you and your family.
To get started, you can request a Free Veterans Packet, which is our comprehensive guide for U.S. veterans and families affected by mesothelioma.
The Mesothelioma Veterans Center is proud to be sponsored by Simmons Hanly Conroy, a leading mesothelioma law firm founded by U.S. veterans.
Filing legal claims won’t affect your VA benefits. In fact, the Mesothelioma Veterans Center and Simmons Hanly Conroy can help you get payouts from both at the same time.
Simmons Hanly Conroy staff members have also supported a broad range of veteran-focused organizations, such as the Wounded Warrior Project and Disabled American Veterans.
“We help veterans navigate their unique legal needs through a shared experience. There’s a number of us that have served in the various branches of the military.”
