I had the pleasure of working with Andy Wainwright for my mesothelioma case. Andy provided top tier representation during my case. He stayed in regular contact as the case progressed. His personality is personal yet professional. The additional representation required for my case and the witnesses used during the trial were exceptional. I would highly recommend Andy!

My husband reached out to Thornton Law Firm last year, and we were fortunate to have had the case assigned to Andrew Wainwright. Andrew spent many hours with my husband, helping him to pull up memories that made his mesothelioma case stronger. Andrew was supportive and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the process. He was always compassionate and he kept us updated on the status of the case. We truly appreciate the time and dedication Andrew and his team provided throughout this process.

I had a great experience with Thornton Law Firm during my mesothelioma case and was very happy with everyone on their team. The main lawyer I worked with, Andy Wainwright, was especially professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable, always keeping me informed and making the process easy to understand. I truly appreciate their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of dedicated legal representation

I have been a long term client of Thornton Law Firm which started in the 1980's. When medical issues arose in my family we contacted Thornton and immediately after Andy Wainwright contacted us. Throughout the whole process he was very professional and explained in step by step manner the legal process we were in and our plan of action. Andy has been at our side for the last 7 years and throughout that time he has always been there when we needed him not only as our lawyer but as a friend. We are very grateful for the Thornton Law Firm and especially Andy for all their hard work and dedication they have put into my family. We give them a 5 star rating!

We initially contacted the Thornton Law Firm via their website regarding a mesothelioma case. Immediately, we received a call from Attorney Andrew Wainwright and he made us feel comfortable during a difficult time. Throughout the process we were always well informed and things were always simply explained every step of the way. Mr. Wainwright was very courteous, kind & compassionate and felt like part of our family. All matters were always handled with the highest levels of professionalism. The settlements were processed and delivered in a timely manner. I highly recommend Andy Wainwright and the Thornton Law Firm. I give them a 5-star rating.
