Our Annapolis-based law firm is a proven, versatile resource for businesses and individuals on either side of disputes over high-value insurance claims. Member attorney James R. Schraf, a proven veteran in trials and appeals in State and Federal Courts leads us in this practice area. We handle complex matters across the spectrum of business disputes, insurance liability, coverage and claims.
We recognize that few setbacks are more troubling than suffering an adverse event such as a business interruption or a liability claim against you, only to have the insurance company you trust deny your claim for reasons that make no sense to you. Conversely, insurers have an obligation to protect their stakeholders from frivolous claims and those that fall outside policy guidelines. We are experienced in navigating what may otherwise be a very frustrating process.
