Attorney Brett F. Fuller is a partner at Simmons Hanly Conroy where he focuses his practice on helping victims of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. Located in the firm’s New York City office, Brett works with a team of attorneys to give clients a voice against corporations that prioritized profits over individuals’ health and safety.

Brett is involved in all stages of a client’s case and is dedicated to securing the best possible outcome for his clients, treating each case with care and expertise.

“Many of the clients I represent are hardworking, honest people who have been harmed through no fault of their own,” Brett said. “I take great pride in giving them a voice in the courtroom and securing the justice they deserve.”

Brett has managed cases for a decade and defended hundreds of depositions. He also has experience writing and arguing motions, negotiating settlements, and arbitrating bankruptcy claims.

Representative Cases

Brett currently leads over 100 active cases and handles every phase of litigation, ensuring each case advances with strategy and care.

Brett led two urgent, deeply personal cases for former medical professionals with mesothelioma. Through meticulous investigation and swift legal action, he secured meaningful settlements in months.

In another case, Brett represents a maritime worker exposed to asbestos aboard tugboats in the 1990s, long after asbestos was assumed to be phased out. His detailed investigation uncovered ongoing risks from residual asbestos insulation, showcasing his ability to build strong claims in evolving exposure scenarios.

Brett also secured a $5.37 million settlement for a tour manager who developed mesothelioma after unknowingly working with asbestos-containing materials while touring with major artists. His thorough investigation traced the client’s nontraditional exposure sources and built a strong case before trial.
