A legal malpractice suit about to be tried in Middlesex County alleges that a New Brunswick personal injury firm incompetently handled asbestos litigation that could have produced a multimillion-dollar recovery.

The estate of an asbestosis victim alleges that Wysoker, Glassner, Weingartner, Gonzalez & Lockspeiser put a roughly 2,000-case docket in the care of a single attorney who, by his own admission, took the easy route of suing "soft targets."
