Anthony L. Vignolo

With an insurance defense background, it was a natural fit for Anthony Vignolo to focus his legal practice in the areas of civil litigation and insurance law.

Anthony’s passion for litigation – which focuses on business, anti-trust, products liability, food and agriculture, and real property disputes – began as early as law school when Anthony was selected among hundreds of candidates for a coveted spot on his law school’s trial competition team and went undefeated in national trial competitions. That same level of success has followed Anthony throughout his legal career in all types of legal matters.

While it is often easy in any job to “go through the motions,” Anthony’s dedication to his clients and ability to “think outside the box” cause him to go above and beyond in identifying the critical legal or factual issue for a successful outcome. Whether persuading a jury, opposing counsel, or an insurance adjuster, Anthony uses these skills in connection with his superior advocacy, sound judgment, and ability to extemporize to obtain favorable results for his clients. He is among the select few trial lawyers who have obtained punitive damage awards in multiple trials.

Having previously represented insurance companies, Anthony regularly advises all types of clients on insurance coverage issues and battles insurance companies that wrongfully deny coverage for claims. He also oversees the handling of multi-million dollar cases by appointed insurance defense counsel for clients who may be concerned about exposure to a judgment exceeding policy limits. Most recently, Anthony successfully forced an insurance company to pay an entire $27M jury verdict – which was $16M over his client’s insurance policy limits – after the insurance company and its appointed defense attorneys failed to follow Anthony’s pre-trial recommendation to settle the case within policy limits.

Clients turn to Anthony for resolution of their legal disputes when they need a zealous attorney who is dedicated to success.
