Biography

Attorney Gregory A. Cade specializes in Environmental Law and Asbestos Occupational Exposure, with a remarkable professional experience of over 25 years. He has successfully recovered millions of dollars for toxic exposure victims struggling with lung cancer, asbestosis, mesothelioma, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, esophageal cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, colon cancer, and pulmonary fibrosis.

Gregory A. Cade is also the chairman of Environmental Litigation Group, P.C., which he joined in 1993 as an investigator and litigation paralegal. He is also a member of numerous renowned groups and associations, including the ABA and the National Registry of Environmental Professionals.

Cade pursued a master’s program in Occupational Health, Safety, and Industrial Hygiene on top of obtaining his J.D. degree from Miles School of Law in 2001. He worked closely with toxicologists, epidemiologists, and other scientists at the UCLA School of Public Health, contributing to a thorough understanding of how environmental pollutants affect human health.

His interest in the legal system and his passion for science motivated him to become an attorney. Although toxic torts cases are highly complex, demanding, and time-consuming, Cade considers his career to be gratifying; he aids toxic exposure victims, veterans, and their families in recovering the financial compensation they deserve.

The attorney’s dedication and motivation are renewed daily while working with clients who have been negligently or intentionally injured by exposure to toxic contaminants in the workplace or the environment. While Gregory Cade is the Principal Attorney at the law firm, he always makes sure to allow everyone on the legal team to have a word to say on how to approach a case, as he works in a democratic and diplomatic capacity.

Legal Answers
44 Questions Answered
Q. Landlord refuses to repair or address anything including *High* levels of Toxic mold found growing in his home.
A: According to the warranty of liability implied by your lease, the landlord is responsible with ensuring safe living conditions in the rental unit for their tenants, which includes promptly attending to any issue which threatens their health. Therefore, you were not obliged to pay the cost of mold tests and the necessary repairs. If your landlord refuses to properly take care of the mold issue, you have two options, both of which perfectly legal – either withhold rent until they fix the problem or have a licensed company fix the issue for you and subsequently deduct the cost of repair from your rent. Regardless of which option you decide to pursue, your landlord cannot break the lease over this reason. ... Read More
Q. If forced out of my rental for 10 days for asbestos tape on ductwork and furnace removal can I deduct from rent
A: If your landlord did not provide you with alternative accommodation during the time the repairs were taking place, the answer is yes. You have the right to deduct the cost of your temporary accommodation from the rent.
Q. I have damage and mold from a burst pipe and the landlord won't fix it or anything in the house what rights do i have?
A: While there is no law which clearly concerns mold exposure in rental buildings, the landlord is responsible with providing tenants with adequate living conditions under the warranty of habitability, which includes taking care of mold contamination. You should not have to pay for having this issue attended to. I advise you to ask your landlord once again to fix the problem, this time in writing, and if they still refuse to do so, you have two options – either withhold rent until they solve the problem or pay a licensed company to have it fixed yourself and subsequently withdraw the cost of the repair from your rent. Both options are perfectly legal and the landlord cannot break the lease if you choose to proceed this way. ... Read More
