We aggressively pursue early resolution of claims and actions where appropriate and consistent with our clients’ objectives and goals. During the litigation process, we continuously work with our clients in order to determine what course of action is best suited to their needs, whether it be motion practice, negotiation, mediation, or proceeding to trial and verdict.

Our practice is conducted in accordance with the Recommended Case Handling Guidelines for Insurers, as promulgated by The Defense Research Institute.
