Finally, he assists his clients during the process of filing a lawsuit against different manufacturers or companies, thus obtaining the financial compensation they were eligible for. 

Three words sum up Cade’s professional philosophy, “know your case,” which has also been the leading principle throughout his professional practice. He approaches each toxic contamination case from both a personal, humane point of view and a legal perspective to ensure the most favorable outcome for his clients.

The attorney has worked closely with epidemiologists, toxicologists, and other scientists at the UCLA School of Public Health as well, which undoubtedly represented a great opportunity during which he substantially expanded his knowledge on the detrimental health effects of occupational and environmental exposure to toxic agents.

The fundamental professional motivation of Gregory A. Cade is represented by his avid interest in the legal system, as well as by his passion for science, particularly chemistry and biology. Desiring to pursue a career that would cater to both of his passions, he decided to become an environmental attorney, a profession that Gregory A. Cade considers to be very rewarding. Although toxic tort litigation cases are often tough and challenging to resolve, the attorney is permanently bound to provide his clients with support and quality legal representation. Thus, toxic exposure victims can successfully obtain the compensation they are entitled to from companies that turn a blind eye to chemical use and exposure or completely neglect the issue.
