Professional Liability
Professionals of every kind turn to Damon Morey to vigorously defend them against malpractice claims. Being sued for malpractice is always unpleasant, and often financially and professionally devastating. In the past, this experience was reserved for physicians, lawyers, accountants, architects and engineers. In recent years, the field of potential targets for such lawsuits has substantially widened to include professionals in industries such as management, financial consulting, insurance, media, software and technology. Damon Morey is acutely aware that such claims are both serious and sensitive. We understand the unique complexities involved in professional liability claims, and relish the trust placed in our hands by our professional clients.

The professional liability practice group also represents Certified Public Accountants against claims related to auditing, financial reporting and tax preparation; insurance agents and brokers against failure to procure claims; and architects against negligent design claims. Additionally, our professional liability practice includes defense of negligence, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty claims against officers, directors and trustees.
