Our firm represents individuals and corporate clients in disputes with their insurance carriers.
This is what some of our clients have said about Pillsbury & Levinson.
"As a lawyer, I had dealt with insurance companies in many different matters and well understood how difficult they could be. So when it came time to file my own claim for disability I knew I had to get the best legal advice possible. After an hour speaking with Arnie Levinson and Terry Coleman, I knew I'd be in good hands with Pillsbury & Levinson, and I was not disappointed in any respect. They walked me through each step of the claim process and helped me avoid the many potential pitfalls of communicating with my insurers. Due in large part to their care, diligence and skill, my claims were accepted by my insurers with little fuss. If I were ever to have difficulties with them in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone and call Pillsbury & Levinson."

"Sparring with the vast resources of an insurance company over a thorny landslide property claim is never easy. But P&L outmaneuvered the insurance company in our case at every turn. So much so, the insurance company ended up paying our entire claim, our attorney's fees and interest. We could not have been more delighted with the representation we received."
Bay Area Residents
"When we reached the point when our health insurer would no longer be reasonable in our efforts to get contracted for life-saving medical treatment for our 4-year old child, the emotional toll was devastating. At the end of our first meeting with Arnie Levinson, we absolutely knew that we were in the best possible hands, and had given our child the best chance for success. Every interaction since that first meeting has shown that to be true. Arnie and his staff are different than any other lawyers you'll ever meet -- they truly care about our family. They work unbelievably hard, and utilize their unmatched experience and creativity in making every effort to help us remedy the harm our health insurer has caused our family."
Mark and Kim Zembsch
"I lost my Tahoe home, many of my household possessions and my cat in a terrifying Christmas Eve fire. The insurance company I relied on to help me rebuild used junk science to falsely blame me for the blaze and deny coverage. The attorneys at Pillsbury & Levinson exposed the insurance company's false accusations, and the resolution they negotiated in my case was ample vindication. Going through a lawsuit with Arnie as your lawyer is like playing high-stakes chess with Bobby Fischer telling you what moves to make. He is the ultimate expert."
Barbara Bylenga
"I knew I was in the right place during our first meeting. They were intelligent, hardworking and concerned. As my case had to be tried in court, I saw skill and brilliance at work. I feel fortunate that they took my case."

"After suffering a severe brain trauma, I was approved by my doctors to go on full-time disability. My insurance company, however, stopped paying my benefits well short of the duration promised by my policy, and given the importance of the benefits to me, I decided to seek legal help. Pillsbury & Levinson guided me through the complex ERISA laws and got me back on claim. I truly believe that I would not have won my appeal without Pillsbury & Levinson's help."

"From my very first dealings with this firm, it was clear I was in highly capable hands. My complex case was handled expertly at every step by compassionate attorneys and staff who relentlessly built the strongest case possible. I am lucky I found them. I came out of a case with a big insurance company with my integrity intact and the knowledge that they could never push me around. Allowing me to take this with me as I move on in life is really the greatest thing Pillsbury and Levinson did for me."
Michael Keating
"Pillsbury & Levinson recently handled a sensitive and difficult professional liability case for our company with tact and great success. P&L's lawyers came up to speed quickly and convinced the insurance company to come to the table. Before P&L was hired, the insurance company refused to fund a proposed settlement at the level we believed was appropriate. Within a very short time frame after P&L was hired, the insurance company ended up paying everything we said it owed and we did not have to go out of pocket at all. This was a great result that helped stabilize our company through a delicate time. We recommend P&L without reservation."
