Zeke’s Approach to Civil Litigation Defense
Zeke’s approach goes beyond winning cases. He builds collaborative partnerships with insurance carriers and their insureds, grounded in trust, efficiency, and shared success. By combining disciplined strategy with clear communication, Zeke ensures not only favorable outcomes in the courtroom but also lasting relationships that deliver long-term value to his clients.
Client-Centered Excellence
​At the heart of Zeke’s philosophy is a commitment to client-centered excellence. He recognizes that, on the insurance side, the file belongs to the claims adjuster. Zeke’s role as outside counsel is to be a trusted partner—providing the information, analysis, and resources adjusters need to excel. By leveraging his expertise, jurisdictional knowledge, and sound judgment, he delivers efficient, results-driven representation that empowers his clients to make informed decisions with confidence.
Timeliness And Candor
Zeke prioritizes timeliness and candor, knowing that prompt, honest communication is essential to building trust and driving efficiency in litigation management. He keeps clients consistently informed, ensuring they have the clarity and confidence needed to make decisions at every stage of a case.
Substance Over Form
Substantive communication is the cornerstone of Zeke’s approach. Every report must add value—delivering new information, analysis, or insight rather than simply following a template. By focusing on substance over form, Zeke ensures that each communication is purposeful, meaningful, and advances the client’s position.
Strategic Alingment with Financial Exposure
Understanding financial exposure is central to effective litigation strategy. Zeke tailors his approach and budgets to the specific risks of each case, ensuring that every action taken is deliberate, cost-effective, and aligned with protecting the client’s bottom line.
Early Resolution and Efficient Case Handling
Zeke advocates for early resolution when it serves the client’s interests, partnering closely with claims adjusters to identify the most efficient path forward. His strategies are designed to position each case for the best possible exit—whether through an early resolution that minimizes costs or by preparing for trial when that outcome offers the strongest defense
Empathy for the Insured
Zeke recognizes that while litigation may be routine for lawyers, it can be stressful and overwhelming for insureds. His empathy for clients shapes strategies that not only protect their legal interests but also account for their peace of mind—striving for resolutions that are both effective in court and considerate of the human impact.
Identifying Disparities In Case Value and Resolution
Zeke recognizes that the perceived value of a case often differs from its actual resolution value. He is diligent in identifying and clearly communicating these gaps to claims adjusters, ensuring that all stakeholders have a realistic understanding of the case dynamics and potential outcomes.
