Seth Lovis & Co is well regarded for its handling of personal and military injury cases and it has a substantial practice dealing with challenging claims related to exposure to asbestos. The team attracts praise for its 'very good response times' and for providing 'carefully thought-out and accurate advice'. Key individuals are industrial disease department head John Jackiewicz and 'highly analytical and very efficient' associate Ingrid Esien, who is 'passionately involved in fighting for a positive outcome'. The team acted for a claimant in respect of illnesses related to asbestos exposure; following his death, the case was continued on behalf of his executrix and the team managed to secure a settlement for the estate. In other work, it acted for an ex-member of the armed forces who alleged work-related hearing loss.
