We are the third generation of a litigation firm that was formed in 1947. Many of our clients have been with us since our inception and many are relatively new. By working closely with our clients on a variety of cases, we have developed strong roots in many different industries. This has helped us evolve into a unique law firm: one that offers the personal advantages of a small firm, and the legal capabilities of a large firm. Over the past 40 years, we have learned that the best results in litigation occur when our clients are directly involved in the planning of budgets, strategies and tactics. We are guided by this "team" principle and we strive to involve our clients in all developments in their cases, before they occur, and work closely with them towards cost-effective and successful resolutions. Our reputation -- for getting to the bottom of complex cases quickly -- is built on past results, not future predictions. Our work product is our most valuable asset. We have taken on large firms and unusual cases, won multi-million dollar trials in state and federal court, and prevailed in appeals before the California Supreme Court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. IN THE L.A. TIMES Los Angeles Times, December 4, 1999 "Los Angeles Attorney Neil S. Lerner was in his West Los Angeles office when the phone call came from Gary Boyer, a senior claims manager at Cigna Property & Casualty Insurance Co. in Woodland Hills. Cigna was in a jam. "Cigna needed Lerner to investigate (a suspicious claim being pursued by Rex DeGeorge). Lerner, then 32, was a self-described 'cocky young lawyer.' ...Cigna wasn't looking for a court fight, at least not yet. But the company needed to know quickly what to make of this claim, and Lerner and his partner Donald Sands had a reputation for getting to the bottom of things. "By pouring over court records, including DeGeorge's two contested divorces, and corresponding with other insurers, Lerner discovered that the Principle di Pictor was not the only yacht on which DeGeorge had filed a claim. It was the fourth." SANDS LERNER IN THE NEWS
