Ricky LeBlanc

A Dedicated Mesothelioma Attorney Helping Veterans

Ricky LeBlanc is a skilled and dedicated attorney supporting U.S. veterans, civilians, and families impacted by a mesothelioma diagnosis.

Ricky is the leader of the mesothelioma practice at Sokolove Law, a national asbestos law firm. In this role, he works to guide those facing a mesothelioma diagnosis through the legal system so they can get justice and compensation.

Coming from a working-class family, Ricky is proud to stand up for those who were harmed by asbestos while they were trying to make an honest living.

Ricky has a special interest in supporting U.S. veterans with mesothelioma, who often were exposed to asbestos during service without fully knowing the risks. Through his VA accreditation, Ricky can help navigate the benefits process so veterans can get more support.

Ricky and Sokolove Law can assist with:

• Determining how asbestos exposure occurred
• Getting legal payouts without affecting VA claims
• Pursuing VA benefits for mesothelioma
• Securing support for mesothelioma patients

How Ricky Supports Mesothelioma Veterans

Ricky is uniquely positioned to support U.S. veterans with mesothelioma thanks to his status as a VA-accredited lawyer.

Ricky is accredited by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), allowing him to assist veterans with preparing and supporting VA claims.

Filing for mesothelioma VA benefits is complicated for veterans going it alone. Ricky can help determine when, where, and how a veteran may have been exposed to asbestos and recommend accredited claims agents to guide them through the process.

Additionally, Ricky can help eligible U.S. veterans file mesothelioma lawsuits while still receiving the VA benefits that they qualify for.

Ricky has worked to support U.S. veterans across the nation. In addition to helping veterans through the legal system and VA claims process, he also regularly attends veterans conventions to spread awareness about the risks of asbestos.
