SUMMARY
As an associate at Brayton Purcell LLP, Maureen C. McGowan focuses her practice on toxic torts law, mesothelioma law and asbestos litigation law. She accepts cases from clients living in Novato, California, and throughout the surrounding area. In order to best serve her clients, she is admitted to practice law in the state of California.
For more than 25 years, Ms. McGowan has committed herself to helping those who have been injured as a result of toxic exposures in the workplace, in their homes and while in public. In addition to workplace hazards, people may be exposed to tainted goods, including certain foods, cosmetics and cleaning products. Such exposures can lead to serious medical conditions, which can have a devastating effect on victims, and their families. Ms. McGowan is familiar with the impact that toxic exposures can cause and she fights to ensure that her clientsÂ’ rights are upheld. She provides her clients with the customized guidance they deserve and strives to help them achieve positive resolutions to their legal issues.
While the symptoms of some illnesses and diseases resulting from toxic exposure may appear immediately, others may take years to develop. Regardless of the time these conditions take to progress, victims of toxic exposure often require significant medical treatment and care. This often results in people incurring undue expenses during already stressful periods. With each case, Ms. McGowan listens to her clients to gain a thorough understanding of their needs and goals.
Beyond her work in the courtroom, Ms. McGowan likes reading, fishing and spending time with her husband. She also enjoys traveling and house-boating.
