Overview

Policyholders are often at a disadvantage when dealing with an insurance company. The insurer drafts the policy, is intimately familiar with its terms, and hires a team of claims professionals and coverage lawyers with a limitless budget to protect its interests. Most policyholders don’t stand a chance.

Osborne & Nesbitt's mission is to level this tilted playing field by arming policyholders with a high level of insurance coverage expertise. The firm combines AV-rated litigation skills with the "insider's edge" of having previously represented some of the country's largest insurers in coverage matters nationwide.

At Osborne & Nesbitt:

We are specialists. Our practice is devoted exclusively to insurance coverage analysis and litigation.

We represent only policyholders. Since we do not represent insurance companies, we can give undivided loyalty to our policyholder clients.

We are team players. We work closely with each client's general counsel, litigation counsel, insurance broker, and risk manager.
