At Coffey Modica LLP, we focus on one objective: delivering complete solutions for complex litigation — with clarity, efficiency, and courtroom strength.
We are a litigation and appellate firm representing insurers, businesses, municipalities, and professional industries in high-exposure and technically challenging matters. Our core practice areas include liability defense, excess property and casualty claims, medical malpractice, nursing and long-term care litigation, construction and labor law disputes, and professional liability. Clients call on us when the stakes are substantial, the legal issues are sophisticated, and the strategy must be precise from the outset.
For more than three decades, our founding partners have represented many of the nation’s leading insurance carriers and businesses. Collectively, our attorneys have handled more than 500 jury trials, argued hundreds of appeals, and litigated thousands of dispositive motions. That depth of experience shapes our approach to every case — whether resolution is achieved through early motion practice, negotiated settlement, mediation, or trial to verdict.
We prepare every matter as though it will be tried. Our trial and appellate experience gives us perspective that informs strategy long before a case reaches the courtroom. We understand how records are built, how arguments resonate, and how decisions are reviewed on appeal. This forward-thinking approach allows us to pursue efficient, cost-effective resolutions without compromising strength.
Our attorneys are regularly recognized for leadership and professional excellence. Firm leaders have been featured in Crain’s New York Business and Insurance News Net, including recognition on industry “Notable” lists and publication of commentary analyzing emerging legislation and insurance market developments. These distinctions reflect both peer respect and our commitment to contributing thoughtfully to the industries we serve.
As we have grown, we have remained intentional about our culture and values. We are trial lawyers who believe preparation, responsiveness, and sound judgment matter. We are assertive when necessary, strategic in every instance, and collaborative with our clients at every stage.
Clients rely on Coffey Modica not simply to defend cases — but to guide them through complex litigation with confidence and clarity.
