Simms Showers delivers effective, responsive, sophisticated litigation solutions for its clients in complex business litigation, at a quality and value exceeding many larger firms.
Our complex litigation practice ranges from antitrust to insurance coverage, from RICO and securities to reinsurance, from intellectual property to real property, in federal and state courts across the country. In order to assure control of litigation costs, we work in appropriate matters according to litigation budgets, guaranteeing that fees and expenses will not exceed 5% of the budget. The work of Simms Showers and its principals in the area of complex litigation has included:
Successful conclusion of a Medicare fraud case with an U.S. $8.6 million settlement paid by a national medical testing laboratory, which was the nation's third largest False Claims Act recovery;
A complex international insurance fraud case, resulting in a judgment for our client of US $1.4 million;
Successful conclusion of a US $4 million lender and directors' and officers' liability civil racketeering claim;
A US $5 million suit alleging civil RICO and legal malpractice after a financial institution collapsed, also concluded successfully; and
A defense verdict in favor of the former Chief Financial Officer of Maryland's largest health insurer in a $50 million action brought by that insurer's subscribers.
