Firm Practice and Philosophy

Hays, McConn, Rice & Pickering was founded in 1982. The firm's practice is focused on personal injury and general civil trial work for insurers and corporate clients. 

 

The firm handles a wide variety of litigation including professional liability, legal malpractice defense, premises liability, premises security, construction disputes, automobile liability, homeowner's liability, property damage litigation, toxic torts, maritime, products liability, dram shop, and ERISA litigation. 

 

The firm also actively represents insurance companies in coverage matters and bad faith litigation. While 70% to 80% of the firm's practice is related to trial work, the firm also has expertise in general commercial matters, including ERISA, banking, probate, real estate, and general corporate matters.

 

The firm's philosophy is simple:  Its success is measured by the client's and their insurer's success in accomplishing their goals and objectives. We believe in defining litigation successes the way our clients want them defined because we are interested in long term client relationships.

 

The firm achieves this end by working in unison with the claims professionals and clients in handling and resolving legal matters.  We strongly believe that the key to our success is through repeat business and by referrals of new clients from existing clients.  Hays, McConn, Rice & Pickering is dedicated to providing high quality legal services, while being cost sensitive in delivering those services for the clients and their insurers.
