of Practice
Marvin is a trailblazer in civil RICO litigation, having obtained
in 1981 the first significant relief ever awarded under the
civil RICO statute. The landmark case concerned a massive
auto insurance fraud that bedeviled the industry in New York
for years, impervious to traditional legal approaches. A few
months after a major insurer retained him, the fraud was brought
to a screeching halt by a preliminary injunction issued after
the chief perpetrator took the Fifth about ten questions into
Marvin's cross at the hearing in federal court. The case is
symbolic of Marvin's creative approach to solving client problems
and is representative of one focus of his busy practice. Continuously
since 1981, he has very successfully represented most of the
nation's major insurers in fraud cases of all kinds, in courts
in New York and across the country, as well as in coverage
and bad faith cases. Marvin's practice, however, extends well
beyond the insurance field and encompasses a wide variety
of commercial litigation. Regardless of the kind of case,
the identity of the client, or whether representing the plaintiff
or the defendant, the service is the same -- personal, passionate
and productive.
