How It Started
The story begins with a kind-hearted gentleman named José. José was grappling with the loss of his beloved wife, Jessie, who had succumbed to lung cancer. He had only heard whispers of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) and wasn’t entirely sure of its implications. A chance encounter with an article in a local newspaper ignited hope, and José decided to seek legal counsel. He walked into the office of the first attorney he could find who would lend an ear to his story – and that’s when he met Laura Taylor Turner.
The Department of Justice eventually greenlit José’s claim, and from there, Ms. Taylor Turner’s practice took shape, dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of the RECA program and secure the compensation they rightly deserved.
