WITHOUT THE EFFORTS OF SBE attorneys and support staff, both in the courtroom and in the legislature, consumers would not enjoy the rights they do today.

From William Shernoff's settlements with European insurers over Holocaust-era life insurance claims to Mike Bidart's groundbreaking victories over HMOs to Frank Darras's incessant, reform-minded litigation against disability carriers, the legal accomplishments of SBE are second to none in defining and applying bad faith insurance law.
