Areas of Practice
At Burton Kelley LLP, we provide strategic legal counsel and litigation services across a wide range of insurance-related and civil matters. Our team of seasoned attorneys brings deep industry expertise, trial-tested experience, and a results-driven approach to every case.
Bad Faith, Rescission & Fraud
We defend insurers against bad faith claims, handle policy rescission cases, and combat insurance fraud to protect carriers from wrongful payouts and legal exposure. Our team has successfully defended multi-million dollar claims and helped insurers maintain regulatory compliance.
Coverage Analysis & EUOs
A thorough policy coverage review is critical in dispute resolution. We conduct in-depth analyses and take Examinations Under Oath (EUOs) to assess claim legitimacy, detect fraud, and ensure policyholder compliance.
Third-Party Defense
We represent insurers and their policyholders in third-party liability claims, including personal injury, property damage, and professional liability disputes. Our litigation team aggressively defends clients in state and federal courts.
Professional Liability Defense
We defend insurance agents and brokers, accountants, real estate agents and professionals, landlords and property managers, engineers, general contractors, developers, automobile dealerships, banks, and other professionals against negligence, malpractice, statutory and regulatory claims. Our team works to mitigate risks, protect reputations, and minimize financial exposure.
Product Liability Defense
We represent manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in defending against defective product claims. Whether facing allegations of design flaws, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn, we craft strategic defenses to limit liability.
Subrogation & Recovery
We help insurers recover losses from California wildfires and negligent third parties, through subrogation litigation and settlement negotiations. Our team maximizes recovery efforts while minimizing legal costs.
Civil Litigation
We handle a wide range of business and civil disputes, from contract breaches to high-exposure litigation. Our team provides aggressive advocacy and strategic legal solutions to resolve conflicts effectively.
Civil Writs and Appeals
We handle civil writs and appeals, challenging or defending trial court decisions to secure favorable legal outcomes. Our attorneys have successfully overturned unfavorable rulings and defended key victories.
