About the Simmons Law Firm
Simmons Browder Gianaris Angelides & Barnerd LLC (the Simmons firm) is a nationwide law firm representing families affected by mesothelioma and asbestos. For over a decade the mesothelioma lawyers at the Simmons law firm have been helping families throughout the country affected by mesothelioma. The attorneys and staff have seen the pain caused by this preventable disease firsthand and are passionate about improving the lives of mesothelioma victims.
The need for more awareness and better treatment options is urgent. That’s why the firm has pledged more than $15 million to cancer research and continues to work closely with leading medical experts throughout the country, working to advance the science and offer families hope.
The Simmons firm is dedicated to making September 26 National Mesothelioma Awareness Day, to raising money for mesothelioma research, and banning asbestos once and for all. The firm believes working together with communities, medical professionals, researchers, and legislators, we can all make a difference.

SUPPORTING THE SEARCH FOR A CURE
Year after year, the Simmons firm is one of the leading sponsors of the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation, an organization that works with mesothelioma doctors and specialists across the country. In 2006 the Simmons firm was honored to receive the Bruce Vento Hope Builder Award from the Foundation, in recognition of its efforts to uncover a cure.
It is the hope of John Simmons and the mesothelioma lawyers at his firm that someday they won’t have any more clients with mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos, and that mesothelioma doctors will find a cure for this rare and deadly disease. Until that day arrives, they will continue to provide families with passionate legal representation. They will also continue to work hand-in-hand with mesothelioma doctors and organizations to find a cure for mesothelioma.
These are not idle words or empty promises. The firm has pledged $10 million to support cancer research at the SimmonsCooper Cancer Institute at SIU. The Simmons firm is also proud to serve on the Executive Advisory Board at the International Mesothelioma Program at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. In addition to its search for a mesothelioma cure, the IMP is dedicated to finding new treatments that will benefit today’s – and tomorrow’s – mesothelioma patients.
