Experience

Armitage graduated from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1984 with magna cum laude honors and a degree in political science. He continued at Tulane and earned a Juris Doctor Degree, graduating with cum laude honors in 1987.

In his early years as a lawyer, Armitage practiced maritime transportation and commercial law. It wasn’t until he joined his current firm that he began to specialize in asbestos litigation.

With nearly 22 years of experience in those cases, Armitage is a leading expert on asbestos laws and in helping victims of exposure recover damages. He is often called upon to speak about mass torts and asbestos cases.

Armitage has been recognized numerous times for his work, including being named a Thomson Reuters Super Lawyer in Southern California from 2006 through 2020 and a Best Lawyer in America from 2006 through 2010. 

His dedication to asbestos and mesothelioma cases has helped win victims millions of dollars. Some of the notable victories he worked on include significant compensation for the family of a man who died after years working with asbestos cement and for a victim who developed mesothelioma after years of doing home renovations with asbestos products.

Armitage is a member of the American Association for Justice, Consumer Attorneys of California, Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles, the Public Justice Foundation, and the Maritime Law Association of the United States. He serves on the Board of Trustees for the Vistamar School.
