A consummate trial lawyer, Alex Sugzda advocates for a broad range of policyholders in insurance recovery matters. Serving a national and international client base, Alex litigates all phases of insurance coverage cases, from initial claim review through trial and appeal. He places a premium on clear and frequent communication, forges strong relationships, and learns about each new client’s organization from the ground up to better fulfill their objectives.

Alex serves a broad spectrum of clients from many different industries, locations, and backgrounds. They include small businesses with bet-the-company matters, large corporations that regularly deal with insurance claim disputes, and individuals who represent a large class of people that stands to benefit from Alex’s legal acumen. The thing they all have in common is a pressing need for Alex to pursue and secure the insurance recovery they’re due.

Because preventing problems from arising in the first place always constitutes the best strategy, Alex works with clients in the preliminary stages of insurance coverage issues to steer them onto a sound course and to gauge the insurer’s initial responses. He also advises at the policy placement stage in the policy drafting process, participating on the front end and inserting language that helps avoid disputes down the road.

In recent years, Alex has been privileged to help his clients address and prevail in insurance coverage disputes arising from highly challenging circumstances: Hurricane Sandy, the rise of cybercrime, and the COVID-19 pandemic. These three developments largely took both clients and the industry unaware and require an in-depth analysis of coverage and the intent behind its purchase to determine if those policyholders are entitled to full payment. Alex finds it gratifying to help clients navigate these new and complicated insurance coverage frontiers.
