Insurance Counseling and Recovery

We represent corporate and individual policyholders in all facets of insurance coverage law. In this increasingly complex world, legal counseling is often instrumental in gaining a full understanding of underlying exposures and the insurance available to cover those exposures. Our lawyers analyze coverages in place and counsel clients on enhancements that may be prudent in response to anticipated risks.  

After a claim arises, our first order of business is to resolve any coverage dispute and secure prompt insurance recoveries.  Often, resolution can be achieved without the need for litigation. When litigation becomes necessary, our trial lawyers consistently achieve successful outcomes for our clients.
