Kenneth J. Wilson

He grew up near the Rust Belt city of Youngstown, Ohio, where he was exposed to the blue-collar work ethic and the power of law. His grandfather was a judge, his grandmother was a charter member of a nurse’s union, and his father worked with the area’s steel industry.

Wilson has been helping asbestos victims since graduating law school in 1988. He joined our firm’s predecessor, Ness, Motley, Loadholt, Richardson & Poole, where he worked with the lawyers who pioneered asbestos and tobacco litigation. He was instrumental in building liability cases against large asbestos companies and preparing cases for trial. Within two years, he was co-lead attorney on the case of a Miami tile setter who suffered from asbestosis. The jury returned a favorable verdict.

Since that time, Wilson has represented workers and other individuals who developed mesothelioma from asbestos exposure in nearly every state. He has a wealth of industry-specific knowledge about asbestos exposure, the products used at different job sites, and how to maximize financial recovery from the companies that manufactured asbestos products.

The most rewarding and meaningful aspect of his job is that he gets to help people who worked hard their entire lives only to find their retirement cut short due to the negligence and willful misconduct of asbestos manufacturers and large employers.

Wilson also enjoys meeting people with fascinating backgrounds. He is proud and honored to represent men and women who fought to win wars and help build the United States.

Wilson is married and has two children. He is an avid runner, swimmer, and reader of classic literature. He enjoys golf and tennis.
