# Peter Angelos Law > The attorneys of Peter Angelos Law have recovered billions of dollars in compensation on behalf of injured victims and families across the country since the firm’s founding in 1961, with a continued commitment to building upon founder Peter Angelos reputation to enrich the Baltimore metro area for decades to come. Anyone who has been unjustly harmed deserves a legal champion to help them seek accountability and compensation. There are plenty of law firms that assist the victims of more routine personal injuries. But fewer firms have the skills, resources and drive to take on major corporations, institutions and even government agencies. Peter Angelos Law Firm does, and its lawyers continue to follow the example set by founder Peter Angelos, who successfully took on Big Tobacco and also helped thousands of Maryland workers sue their employers for mesothelioma and other diseases caused by workplace exposure to asbestos. Today, Peter Angelos Law team of dedicated attorneys represents individual plaintiffs and groups of plaintiffs in high-stakes litigation alleging medical malpractice, mesothelioma and asbestos exposure, dangerous and defective products, mass torts, environmental and health disasters, clergy sexual abuse, and more. ## Pages - [4.5 Billion Award](https://www.angeloslaw.com/4-5-billion-award/) - [About](https://www.angeloslaw.com/about-us/) - [All Pages List](https://www.angeloslaw.com/all-pages/) - [Areas We Serve](https://www.angeloslaw.com/areas-we-serve/) - [Articles](https://www.angeloslaw.com/articles/) - [Attorney](https://www.angeloslaw.com/attorney/) - [Aaron R.
