Insurance Defense Attorney

I am the Claims Director for a mid-size T.P.A. and inherited Mr. Cerney on several ongoing litigated matters when assigned a new GL Insurance claims program through my company. I had never met or worked with Mr. Cerney before, but the results on all cases were so successful, his legal knowledge an...d acumen so advanced, that I began to use Mr. Cerney on other litigated insurance defense matters. That was approximately 17 years ago and I now use Mr. Cerney exclusively on litigated cases throughout Illinois and can state for the record, he has never lost a case or obtained a bad result for any of my clients. Mr. Cerney is attentive, knowledgeable and responsive. His firm is not large, but they have been able to successfully defend cases with substantially large exposures to very small matters without any inefficiency. I recommend Mr. Cerney and his firm fully for any insurance defense work that you may be considering them for. His dependability and skill are as good as any attorney I have ever worked with and I am extremely supportive of this recommendation on his behalf.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
