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.
