We recognize that lawsuits against professionals involve considerations beyond those
found in other type of claims. Not only is there the outrage of being sued and
having one's professional competency challenged, there is the very real threat to one's
standing and future in the profession. In addition, while insurance is
available in most cases, there is usually a substantial finance exposure in the form of
deductibles. As a result, we welcome alternative dispute resolution (ADR) venues as
a practical method of addressing the high economic and non-economic costs of litigation.
We stand ready and able to deal with these sensitive matters, addressing the needs
of all parties, while defending our clients.
Here is a sampling of outcomes:
We obtained a defense verdict in an accounting malpractice case where our client's only
witness died without being deposed, on the basis that plaintiff's claim was not credible
We obtained a very favorable settlement of an accounting errors and omissions case by
challenging plaintiff's ownership of the claim based on a prior bankruptcy filing
We obtained the dismissal of a quadriplegic injury lawsuit against an insurance broker
for malpractice by proving that coverage existed under the workers' compensation laws of
another state
We limited the recovery in a subrogation claim by an insurance carrier against an
insurance broker by convincing the jury that the carrier had paid twice as much as it
should have when it settled with its insured
We achieved the dismissal of RICO claims against accountants in a suit by a bank arising
out of automobile dealer floor financing.
