Insurance recovery litigator Michael John Miguel has joined McKool Smith as a principal in its office in Los Angeles.
Mr. Miguel's arrival in Los Angeles, along with two new associates, Brett DeArmond Bissett and Anna K. Milunas, increased the practice at the firm to 17 insurance recovery litigators from coast-to-coast.
“Mike is an outstanding first-chair trial lawyer with significant experience in large complex coverage disputes. Our clients will benefit greatly from his expertise,” said Robin Cohen, head of McKool Smith's insurance recovery practice. “We worked closely together for a number of years, so I am very excited Mike has decided to stay with the team and join McKool Smith. His arrival expands our group to the West Coast, and bolsters our already deep bench of trial lawyers.”
“I am really looking forward to rejoining Robin and the team,” said Mr. Miguel. “Our practices are very complementary, so making the move to McKool Smith was a relatively easy decision to make. The firm is a highly regarded litigation powerhouse, has a reputation for offering clients innovative fee arrangements, and we represent clients in the same industries. These three factors are very important to my practice.”
