Policyholders are almost always at a disadvantage when dealing with insurance
companies. Insurers have a virtual monopoly on coverage expertise and
frequently use this advantage to benefit their interests at the expense
of those they insure.
Osborne & Nesbitt levels this tilted playing field by providing policyholders
with the same kind of legal sophistication the insurance companies bring
to the game. We combine AV-rated litigation skills with the “insider’s
edge” of having previously represented some of the country’s
largest insurers.
We Are Specialists
Our practice is devoted exclusively to insurance coverage analysis and
litigation on behalf of policyholders. Because we do not represent insurance
companies, our policyholder-clients can be assured of receiving our undivided
loyalty. We are team players, working closely with each client’s
