Coverage and policy interpretation and opinion
Pomeroy, Heller & Ley, LLC provides trusted representation to insurance companies in lawsuits concerning the rights and obligations of parties to an insurance contract. Many policyholders are unaware of restrictions on their ability to sue, and insurers require experienced counsel to defend coverage determinations, interpret policy language, and resolve disputes efficiently.
Our attorneys regularly handle policy defense and coverage interpretation matters, including complex multi-party disputes. Whether through early motion practice, negotiation, or trial, we are committed to protecting insurers’ interests while minimizing unnecessary litigation costs.
Team approach benefits New Jersey insurance defense clients
With decades of combined experience, our firm applies a collaborative team approach involving partners, associates, and staff to deliver exceptional client care. We have tried hundreds of cases in New Jersey courts, achieving a success rate greater than 90 percent across our insurance litigation and defense practice areas.
Our focus on insurance law has positioned us as a powerful team of knowledgeable litigators involved in some of the state’s most important coverage cases.
Further underscoring our authority in this field, Daniel J. Pomeroy is the co-author of New Jersey Auto Insurance Law (Gann Law Books)—a well-known treatise updated yearly since the 1990s, and one of the most frequently cited authorities in New Jersey insurance cases.
