Insurance

For more than 65 years, Sullivan Ward has provided legal counsel and litigation services to the insurance industry. Our firm was founded by attorneys with years of legal and administrative experience in the industry, and with these roots, our insurance practice continues to be among our major strengths.

We advise and represent clients in litigation relating to a wide variety of insurance defense matters in Michigan, Illinois and numerous other jurisdictions including the Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Indiana, Maryland, New York and Ohio. Our attorneys possess decades of experience in insurance litigation, and bring to the practice previous backgrounds as insurance solicitors, years of service on mediation panels and as case evaluators, and certifications for skill in arbitration and negotiation. One of our partners is the only attorney in Michigan chosen for the prestigious “Select List” of lawyers compiled for the insurance industry by Res Loquitor Corporation.
