The right choice for policyholders

Saxe Doernberger & Vita, P.C.

SDV is among the elite law firms in the country representing policyholders in insurance coverage disputes, and one of even fewer national firms whose practice is focused exclusively in this area. We provide unique solutions to unique client needs, with the experience and expertise typically found at a Big Law firm but with the personal service and cost benefit of a boutique firm. We advise on the purchase of new policies and assist in renewals and the modification of existing policies to ensure the coverage meets your needs and, when a dispute arises, we zealously advocate for your interests so you receive the full value of the coverage you purchased.
