Edward F. Ryan

A knowledgeable and effective advocate for a complex insurance dispute

I engaged Edward Ryan of O'Toole Scrivo to handle a complicated business interruption insurance claim after our company suffered significant losses. From our first meeting at their Cedar Grove office, it was clear we were dealing with a seasoned professional. His 13 years of experience, particularly in the nuanced field of insurance litigation, were immediately apparent. He meticulously dissected our policy language and built a compelling case against the insurer's initial blanket denial. His recognition in Best Lawyers for Litigation - Insurance wasn't just a credential; it translated into a strategic, well-informed approach that the opposing counsel clearly respected. The matter was resolved favorably without the need for a protracted trial, which was a huge relief. My only minor critique, which prevents a perfect score, is that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, sometimes taking 2-3 business days for non-urgent queries. However, when it mattered, he was always accessible and proactive. Overall, Edward is a sharp, dedicated attorney who combines his New York Law School-honed skills with practical, results-oriented representation. I would confidently recommend him to anyone facing a challenging insurance coverage dispute.
