Mr. Anthony has spent his entire career specializing in environmental contamination, toxic and mass torts, chemical exposure, benzene exposure, asbestos exposure, pharmaceutical torts and products liability litigation.
In 1994, Mr. Anthony established legal precedent in New Jersey by certifying the first toxic exposure personal injury and medical monitoring class action (Russo v. Allied Signal). As a result of the settlement, a 30-year medical monitoring program was established for people who played on a chromium contaminated ball field in Jersey City, NJ.

Mr. Anthony also has played key roles in several other environmental contamination suits and chemical exposure cases, obtaining very positive results for his clients. Within the past few years, Mr. Anthony certified two additional class actions in West Caldwell, New Jersey and Tonawanda, New York, representing over 38,000 victims of environmental contamination. Both have been upheld on appeal.
