We have obtained over $450,000,000 in settlements, verdicts and judgments against first and third-party primary umbrella, excess and additional insurers, including millions of dollars in punitive damages.  Our appellate victories have changed the course of insurance law and insurer practices.  We are here to help you maximize your coverage and propel not just your bottom line but your peace of mind.
