A formidable advocate in complex insurance litigation

When our company faced a high-stakes, multi-million dollar coverage dispute with our insurer, we turned to Michael Cohen at Meissner Tierney. His deep, 14-year focus on Wisconsin insurance law was immediately apparent. Michael didn't just understand the legal statutes; he anticipated the insurer's strategy and built a defense that was both meticulous and aggressive. His background from Marquette Law and his recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in this very field were not just accolades—they translated directly into a commanding courtroom presence and a masterful negotiation strategy. The result was a settlement that far exceeded our expectations, protecting our business's future. Michael’s professionalism is matched by his ability to explain complex issues clearly, making us feel like a true partner in the process. For any business navigating the treacherous waters of insurance litigation in Milwaukee, he is the first and only call you need to make.
