The Texas Lawbook: Q&A with Jeffrey B. Simon

May 30, 2025

Jeffrey B. Simon was 37 years old when he met Barbara Behringer, a woman in her 70s who reminded him of his late grandmother.

Behringer was dying of mesothelioma, a cancer in the lining of the lung. The retirement plans she had with her husband, LeRoy, were derailed. Instead, in her remaining months alive, the couple faced a trial against her first husband’s former employer, which they argued was responsible for her exposure to cancer-causing asbestos.
