Scope of Practice
This is a major area of concentration for our trial lawyers. We have a reputation for vigorously defending lawsuits and a successful track record of trying cases in a wide range of civil claims including auto accidents, uninsured motorist, under-insured motorist coverage, premises claims, construction defects, municipal liability and almost any kind of unusual injury claim you can imagine.
Litigation
Our trial lawyers are not afraid to try cases and do so throughout the state. We are retained by the top insurance companies to represent their insureds who have been sued. We are also retained by businesses and individuals directly to protect their interests. Our trial lawyers are frequently acknowledged by their peers as among the best attorneys in the state.
