Firm’s attorneys recognized for excellence across litigation, insurance defense, construction, and complex liability matters throughout the East Coast.
October 30, 2025
Coffey Modica LLP announced that six of the firm’s lawyers, including founding partner Michael Coffey, have been named among Super Lawyers’ top attorneys for 2025. Each year, Super Lawyers recognizes outstanding attorneys across the United States based on independent research, peer nominations, and professional achievement. No more than five percent of attorneys in each state are selected to the Super Lawyers list, and only 2.5 percent are named Rising Stars.
Coffey, a founding partner of Coffey Modica LLP, has handled many of the largest insurance-related claims and litigated matters in New York State over the past 25 years. He has served as defense counsel in more than 125 jury trials and has successfully arbitrated and mediated over 300 cases.
Coffey, along with Partners Michael P. Mezzacappa and Adam Greenberg, were named to the 2025 New York Metro Super Lawyers list—an honor reserved for attorneys who exhibit excellence in practice.
Mezzacappa, who also serves as the firm’s General Counsel, is a veteran trial attorney with more than 35 years of experience representing insurers and their insureds. Greenberg brings more than 25 years of experience as a defense attorney to his role at the firm, having litigated everything from toxic tort claims to complex appellate matters. Both attorneys are based at Coffey Modica’s Westchester County headquarters in Tarrytown.
Additionally, Partner Maxwell Bottini and Counsels Jonathan Heller and Amanpreet Dhaliwal were named 2025 Rising Stars.
Bottini represents clients in complex matters involving construction litigation and defects, product liability litigation, transportation, premises liability, and domestic and international reinsurance transactions, including captive matters, as well as excess liability and casualty. He practices in both New York and Connecticut.
Heller advises insureds throughout New York State on labor law, general liability, and casualty matters. His practice focuses on high-exposure medical malpractice, premises liability, labor law, and property damage matters.
Dhaliwal practices out of Coffey Modica’s Manhattan office, specializing in construction-related matters, general liability, and complex litigation.
“To see so many members of our team recognized is a testament to the deep bench of talented, knowledgeable lawyers we have here at Coffey Modica, offering best-in-class service for our clients each and every day,” said Founding Partner Michael Coffey.
With offices spanning New York City, Buffalo, Suffolk County, and Tarrytown, NY, as well as Westport, CT, Jersey City, NJ, Sandy Springs, Georgia, and Palm Beach County, FL. Coffey Modica’s recognition in Super Lawyers underscores the firm’s continued growth and reputation as a premier East Coast litigation firm providing complete solutions for complex matters.
