The Mesothelioma Compensation Center says "If you are a former oil refinery worker and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, we are urging you and/or your family members to call us at 866-714-6466 to ensure you have the nation's top mesothelioma compensation lawyers advancing what could be a million dollar plus mesothelioma compensation claim.

"We all have heard the term, 'amateur hour.' Unfortunately, when it comes to mesothelioma compensation, most diagnosed victims of mesothelioma get significantly shortchanged out of hundreds of thousands, or over one million dollars because they chose very poorly. Advancing a mesothelioma compensation claim should never be attempted by a local personal-injury attorney—they simply don't have the experience to get you the compensation you deserve.

"Our goal as an advocate for mesothelioma victims is simple: educate as many people as possible about the differences in legal representation.

"If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, it is incredibly vital you retain the services of one of the nation's most skilled mesothelioma compensation lawyers. Do you want your loved one to get shortchanged out of hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars? The answer should be no. It can easily happen though if you don't know how to differentiate between the best mesothelioma compensation lawyers in the nation and a local car accident law firm?

"Please call us at 866-714-6466 or visit http://MesotheliomaCompensationCenter.Com before you hire a law firm to advance a mesothelioma compensation claim."

All we want to do is ensure you get everything you deserve."
