We pride ourselves on taking a personal, detailed approach in every case that we handle and ensure that our legal opinions have been painstakingly reviewed and that the consequences of those decisions have been analyzed to their fullest extent. Our experience in the realm of insurance defense includes investigation and litigation involving fraudulent claims for bodily injury, property damage, arson, staged losses and fraudulent billing. The firm has handled countless claim investigations on behalf of various insurance companies and has obtained restitution or settlements for these clients in excess of $8,000,000.
