Best Lawyers in America Once Again Recognizes Anderson Kill Attorneys As Tops for Insurance Law
8/13/2009
New York, NY (8/12/09) - Anderson Kill is pleased to announce that three of the firm’s attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2010 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®
The three attorneys are founding shareholder Eugene R. Anderson, managing partner and insurance recovery group chair Robert M. Horkovich, and insurance recovery group co-chair William G. Passannante.
Eugene R. Anderson is a pioneer of insurance coverage litigation on behalf of policyholders whose landmark victories established key precedents in insurance law. Mr. Anderson has been described by BusinessWeek as "the dean of policyholders' attorneys" and was named by Business Insurance as one of the 20 people who have had the greatest impact on property and casualty insurance over the past twenty years.” As a former chairperson of the amicus committee of United Policyholders and Director of Citizens Against Unfair Insurance Practices, Mr. Anderson has led his firm to file over 250 amicus briefs on behalf of policyholders.
Robert M. Horkovich has obtained over $5 billion in settlements and judgments from insurance companies for his clients over the past decade. His victories include one of the top 10 jury verdicts in the United States in 2003, the top insurance recovery jury verdict in the United States in 2005, four landmark state Supreme Court decisions, eight jury verdicts and eight bench trial decisions in favor of the policyholder.
William G. Passannante is a leading attorney for policyholders in the area of insurance coverage. He has appeared in cases throughout the country and has represented policyholders in litigation and trial in major precedent-setting cases. Mr. Passannante was a drafter of the precedent-setting Weyerhaeuser case in the Supreme Court of the State of Washington which held that no overt threat against a policyholder is required to trigger insurance policies.
First published in 1983, Best Lawyers compiles lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The 2010 edition of The Best Lawyers in America, is based on more than 2.8 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers. Because of this rigorous and transparent methodology, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
