Ricky A. LeBlanc

Ricky A. LeBlanc has spent more than three decades representing people harmed by asbestos exposure, dangerous products, and medical negligence. He focuses much of his work on mesothelioma litigation and reviews claims involving exposure history, liability concerns, and possible compensation. His work centers on helping working-class families pursue accountability from large corporations.

Ricky earned his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University in Boston before beginning his legal career in December 1991. His early experiences growing up in a Massachusetts factory town shaped his interest in fairness and access to justice. He admired attorneys who protected people facing difficult situations and wanted to help individuals challenge powerful organizations.

Ricky oversees legal matters involving asbestos litigation, birth injuries, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and defective products. He also handles claims connected to pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices. By reviewing each potential mesothelioma case personally, he helps families understand whether compensation may be available through lawsuits, settlements, or other legal options.

Ricky provides guidance to paralegals and case managers working on asbestos-related claims. He educates team members about statutes of limitations, exposure histories, and the medical science connected to mesothelioma diagnoses. His background in litigation allows him to manage complicated cases while keeping clients informed about important legal developments throughout the process.

Ricky is accredited through the Office of the General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. This accreditation allows him to assist with preparing and presenting claims for VA benefits. He also maintains involvement with organizations, including the Massachusetts Bar Association, National Trial Lawyers, and American Association of Justice.

Ricky believes legal representation should help ordinary people stand against corporations that place profits before safety. Throughout his career, he has worked with families affected by asbestos exposure and nursing home neglect. He has also spoken publicly about the lasting impact mesothelioma can have on workers, spouses, children, and entire households.

Ricky A. LeBlanc continues to focus on helping injured individuals and grieving families pursue justice through the civil legal system. His work combines litigation experience, case oversight, and client advocacy developed across more than 30 years in practice. He remains committed to supporting people facing serious medical diagnoses and life-changing losses.
