Overview

CDS'​ insurance law practice group packs a punch as powerful as those of much larger firms. Our firm's lawyers devote a substantial part of their practices to insurance matters. From high stakes bad-faith litigation to practical advice on insurance coverage issues, we work with large property & casualty insurers and small specialty insurers to provide the level of attention and expertise needed to get the job done right. Our attorneys evaluate each case at the outset to identify issues, develop appropriate litigation strategies, communicate with the clients along the way to keep them informed and involved, and always have an eye toward obtaining the desired objective in the most cost-effective manner possible. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work, and our ability to produce a big-firm caliber product without the big-firm price tag.

Client Comments

A strong relationship between a client and their law firm is key to achieving the best possible outcomes. Open communication, trust, and collaboration ensure that attorneys understand each client’s unique goals and needs. Choosing the right firm means finding a team with the experience, knowledge, and dedication to guide you through every stage of the legal process.
Client comments reflect personal opinions and individual experiences. Every case is different, and outcomes depend on specific facts and circumstances. Past results and testimonials do not guarantee similar outcomes in future matters. For personalized legal advice, consult directly with an experienced attorney who can evaluate your specific situation and provide tailored guidance.
