Professional Liability

Overview

Leading our clients through federal and state courts and administrative tribunals, our understanding and years of experience provide invaluable insight to the strengths and weaknesses of every professional liability matter. We pride ourselves in giving professional legal advice that addresses the various aspects of the case, all the while understanding the deeply-personal potential impact that litigation can have on a professional’s career.

Because of the personal nature of professional liability cases and the integrity that is typically in question, we bring an intimate level of service to the matter. In fact, clients find us to be grounded in the highest levels of integrity, professionalism, and commitment to doing what is in their best interest.

Our Professional Liability Practice brings decades of experience in providing legal guidance to accountants, architects, attorneys, directors and officers, insurance agents and broker, and medical professionals. For us, service to these professionals is all-encompassing, directing counsel with legal advice – in and out of the courtroom – to avoid professional claims. However, when those claims arise, we navigate the legal environment to fiercely defend these individuals in the courtroom and work tirelessly to exceed their expectations.
