Our Insurance Defense Practice
At the Law Offices of Robert L. Martier, in Chicago, each of our lawyers has more than 20 years of experience handling a wide range of insurance defense claims, from premises liability and commercial and general liability claims to dram shop actions and claims against security guards and process servers.
We have built our successful practice on a commitment to personal service and attention. Our experience has taught us that clients' needs are not always best served by taking their claims to trial. We encourage the companies we represent to consider alternative forms of dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration. Contact our office to arrange a confidential consultation.
