I engaged Brenden Dougherty at Akerman LLP to handle a complex commercial property insurance claim that our insurer was wrongfully denying. From our initial consultation, it was clear Brenden possessed a deep, practical understanding of New York insurance law. His background, including his recent recognition in the field for 2024, was immediately evident in his strategic approach. He didn't just cite statutes; he explained the likely arguments from the insurer's counsel and outlined a clear path forward, which was incredibly reassuring. His work on the appellate brief was particularly impressive—meticulously researched and powerfully argued, it ultimately led to a very favorable settlement before we had to go to trial. While I was thoroughly impressed with his legal acumen and the outcome, there were occasional periods where communication could lag by a day or two during particularly busy stretches. That said, his substantive updates were always worth the wait. For anyone in New York facing a significant insurance coverage dispute, especially one with appellate implications, Brenden’s experience from William & Mary Law School onward makes him a formidable and highly capable choice.
