Jeff Crowe is a member of the firm's Litigation and Dispute Resolution
team and serves as co-chair of the firm's Professional Development
Committee. He concentrates his practice on complex civil litigation,
with an emphasis on business litigation and insurance bad faith. He also has broad civil litigation experience in matters involving personal injury, real estate, product liability, and medical malpractice.
Jeff was recently named a 2011 Southern California "Rising Star" by Super Lawyers magazine. Fewer than 2.5% of California attorneys who are under 40, or who have been practicing law 10 years or less are selected to the Rising Stars list.
Over the past five years, Jeff has represented individuals, small
businesses and large companies in a variety of
commercial disputes. He has handled large complex cases starting from
the investigation and discovery phase through trial and ending in appeal,
and understands that effective client communication and aggressive
advocacy are key to early and favorable resolutions to disputes.
Jeff has represented clients in state and federal courts and in mediation
and arbitration proceedings. He recently obtained a judgment on a motion
for nonsuit at the close of plaintiff's case on behalf of an insurance
company client. Jeff has also successfully achieved summary judgment and partial summary judgment on behalf of several large insurance clients in complex bad faith suits.
An Orange County resident, Jeff enjoys skiing, surfing, golfing and
basketball in his spare time.
