The
firms of Herman, Herman, Katz & Cotlar; Shernoff, Bidart & Darras;

Shernoff, Bidart & Darras leads the nation in protecting policyholders
from insurance company abuse and set the legal precedent that requires
insurance companies to act in good faith. From William Shernoff's
settlements with European insurers over Holocaust-era life insurance claims
to Mike Bidart's groundbreaking victories over HMOs and property insurers
who denied claims made by California Earthquake victims, the attorneys
have been prosecuting unfair insurance practices for over a quarter of
a century. Shernoff Bidart & Darras continues their fight
for disaster victims of the 2003 Wildfires in California, whose claims
have been wrongfully denied.
Partners Russ Herman and Steve Herman of Herman, Herman, Katz & Cotlar
successfully completed a marathon jury trial with an extraordinary verdict
awarding damages of almost $6 million against the Tobacco Industry for
approximately 500,000 smokers in Louisiana – believed to be the
first case to impose damages against the industry to pay for cessation
programs and has been hailed by healthcare experts as a giant step toward
saving countless lives from tobacco related deaths.
The attorneys of Casey, Gerry, Schenk, Francavilla, Blatt & Penfield
LLP have extensive experience in protecting the rights of victims of widespread
calamity, including representing the San Diego unified school district to
recover insurance benefits following extensive damage caused by fires and
creating a special program to compensate victims and their families affected
by 911. Founding partner Richard Gerry is best known for his
involvement with the Exxon Valdez oil spill litigation, where he was one
of four trial attorneys who obtained a $5 billion settlement, the largest
punitive damages judgment in the U.S. at the time.
