Charles Miller’s practice has been devoted to insurance law since 1990. Prior to 1990, Miller was employed by the insurance industry for 18 years as both a claims representative and claims manager, which gives him special expertise on insurance industry practices and standards.
Michael Cohen devotes much of his practice to representing people and firms with claims that have been wrongly and unfairly denied by insurance carriers. Using his decades of experience, he has recovered millions of dollars protecting policyholders, both individuals, and businesses, from insurance companies’ refusal to pay claims.

Public adjusters estimates
"What were your key takeaways from the program? Public adjusters estimates could be harmful. As a former PA myself I find that fascinating. I understand the concept behind the fear, which makes me think there should be a motion in limine to exclude an adjusters estimate on that basis because it would be no different then the defense trying to enter a demand we as attorneys send where we are asking for much more than the claim might be worth to negotiate down. PAs do the same when writing their estimates. They write high and negotiate down Which topics did you find least valuable and why? I needed more info on LTD disability bad faith cases."
