The Law Offices of James Sokolove Takes Innovative Approach to Helping Mesothelioma Patients and Their Families with Online Mesothelioma Resource Center
NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Law Offices of James Sokolove (LOJS) today introduced an enhanced version of the company’s highly successful Mesothelioma Resource Center (MesoRC), a ground-breaking community site designed to provide a single resource for critical information and support for mesothelioma patients and their families. The website, www.mesoRC.com, is a powerful one-stop resource for victims and families affected by this rare and aggressive cancer. Recognizing that legal services are only one piece of these victims’ complex needs, LOJS launched MesoRC in September 2007 in an effort to better meet the critical needs for information, connectivity and community expressed by their clients.
With 2,500 new cases diagnosed annually in the US, mesothelioma is called an orphan cancer. As a result, there is little funding for research and few resources available to its victims and their families. Before MesoRC, patients had widely scattered online support and no forum for connecting with others who shared their experiences. Caused by exposure to asbestos, mesothelioma progresses rapidly and has no cure – heightening the importance of a support network and community that can provide both immediate information and connectivity.
“For more than a decade, we’ve been experts in helping patients and their families navigate the complicated legal issues surrounding mesothelioma,” said Mike Skoler, CEO of LOJS. “When I see the comments from our community members on MesoRC, I know that we’re filling a void. Our mission is about finding innovative, customer-focused ways to serve our clients’ needs. That’s exactly what we’ve done with MesoRC.”
