Arthur M. Luxenberg, a founder and integral member of Weitz & Luxenberg, PC, extends his legal representation to clients across the nation, with a primary focus on personal injury law cases, particularly those revolving around mesothelioma and asbestos exposure, in New York City, New York.

In 1981, Mr. Luxenberg achieved a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with the highest honors. Subsequently, he pursued his Juris Doctor from the Yeshiva University Benjamin Cardozo School of Law in 1984.

The repercussions of asbestos exposure are both severe and enduring. Witnessing firsthand the devastating impact of asbestos-related illnesses, Mr. Luxenberg is a dedicated advocate for his clients. Each case is treated with utmost importance, as he offers personalized attention and unwavering commitment to securing compensation for damages. Armed with substantial trial experience, Mr. Luxenberg is fully prepared to tackle even the most intricate legal challenges.

One of his remarkable achievements includes leading an appellate case, resulting in the court’s confirmation that individuals harmed by asbestos exposure could still pursue legal action even after the statute of limitations had lapsed. Moreover, he represented the passengers of the hijacked cruise ship Achille Lauro, asserting their claims against the ship’s proprietor following the terrorist incident. These accomplishments, among others, have merited Mr. Luxenberg’s inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America.

A respected author, Mr. Luxenberg maintains affiliations with the American Association for Justice, the New York State Bar Association, the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the New York County Lawyers’ Association, and Public Justice.

Outside of his legal practice, Mr. Luxenberg assumes leadership roles as the chair for the North Shore Hebrew Academy High School and the United Soup Kitchens. He lends his support to numerous charitable causes and organizations, including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
