When a suit is filed against a professional, it often becomes personal. At Goehring Rutter & Boehm we understand the claims, the insurance coverages that may be triggered, and the altering relationship between the professional and the insurer. 

The aim of the Litigation Group, therefore, is to effectively achieve a quick and decisive resolution that allows our professional clients to continue or resume, unhindered, what they do best. At the same time, our lawyers recognize the need to contain expenses, and we work with the claims professional to manage the costs of the dispute.

Professional liability and negligence claims require aggressive responses. Our best source of initial information is the insured; we place a premium upon establishing rapport. Fact-finding, however, includes many sources in addition to the defendant. We research the technical issues of the case to quickly identify and assess key issues. Our goal is to develop the earliest possible defense strategies, verify that standard practices were followed, and suggest options. We serve on local grievance committees and disciplinary and ethics committees so we understand the tactical, strategic and personal nature of professional liability citations. We approach each case in a sensitive and individual manner.

We have a broad range of expertise and clientele in this area including: nursing home management, attorneys, engineers and architects, financial planners and investment advisors, insurance brokers, real estate agents, boards of directors, and corporate executives.
