the great white
"Shark, or sea attorney, so called by sailors; a grasping, rapacious varlet..." – Herman Melville
​
The “shark” lawyer often carries a negative connotation, rooted in the misconception that sharks are mindless, indiscriminate predators. In truth, the great white, perhaps the most feared of all, is neither mindless nor indiscriminate. It is a highly intelligent, curious, and strategic hunter.
So too with the best lawyers: the qualities that make the great white the apex predator of the sea—focus, precision, adaptability, and patience—are the same traits that define the most formidable practitioners of the law.
Relentless
Never stops moving forward, and relentlessly pursues outcomes. We take cases to verdict, obtain substantial settlements, and pursue every coverage angle.
Intelligent
Influences the landscape itself. Precedent-setting appellate victories have shaped insurance law in ways that benefit all policyholders and affect the trajectory of common law.
Calculated
Never strikes without a clear purpose and with practiced precision. Every move is based on decades of experience, including years representing insurers.
Vision
Sees from multiple perspectives with a strategic approach. An attorney, Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter, former licensed agent, & former insurer counsel.
Problem Solver
Adapts to changing conditions. We utilize skill to navigate insurance disputes, clear administrative and legal obstacles, and find unique solutions to challenging problems.
Keen Senses
Anticipates tactics before they are deployed. Leadership in the CPCU Society and years working with underwriters, agents, and adjusters built knowledge of custom & practice.
