Gerry Dwyer and Kevin Brennan are trial lawyers, and the law firm they started in 1989 has concentrated its practice on litigation. The firm and its two lawyers have all received the highest ratings for legal ability and ethical standards from the preeminent lawyer-peer-review-rating organization. Most of Dwyer & Brennan’s work has involved a disability or an injury or the denial of insurance benefits, but the firm has prosecuted and defended a variety of lawsuits, including employee benefits claims under ERISA (especially in long-term disability, life, accident, and health insurance claims), small business disputes, consumer fraud, and wrongful death and serious personal injury cases. The trial lawyer’s skill is persuading a jury or a judge under the rules of evidence – a skill that the capable trial lawyer can apply regardless of the subject matter. And the experience of handling different kinds of cases can give a trial lawyer insight that the pure specialist may not always have.
