Law Firm News



Law firm Nelson Levine de Luca & Horst said Thursday it has acquired the eight-lawyer New York office of Chicago-based Querrey & Harrow. The group adds three partners to an existing small New York office for Nelson Levine, which represents insurance industry clients.

The Querrey group focuses on complex insurance and reinsurance litigation. Querrey partner George Vogrin will serve as managing partner of the New York office. He currently serves as coordinating counsel to underwriters at Lloyds of London, and represents other London-based insurers and reinsurers.

The 50-lawyer Nelson Levine opened its London office last year to serve the firm's international insurance and surplus lines insurer clients and said the latest addition will enable the firm to focus on the European insurance market.

"As a boutique firm focused solely on the insurance industry, the European insurance market is essential to our continued growth," Nelson Levine Chairman Michael Nelson said. "The addition of this practice is a perfect fit for us, as it expands our capabilities and provides additional depth and support as well as unique experience in exciting new practice areas."

Nelson said Nelson Levine is ahead of its five-year growth plan and has taken on new space at its Blue Bell headquarters that can accommodate 70 lawyers. The firm also has offices in Philadelphia; Cherry Hill and Newark, N.J.; and Columbus, Ohio.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.

Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements

For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
