Professional Liability Defense

Protecting Professionals, Licenses, and Reputations Across Industries

Morris Duffy Alonso Faley & Pitcoff has built a trusted reputation for defending professionals facing high stakes claims of malpractice, negligence, and ethical misconduct. We are regularly retained by insurers, employers, and self-insured professionals to handle complex liability claims that may threaten not only financial exposure but also professional standing, licensure, and reputation.

Our team defends clients under primary and excess professional liability insurance policies, and we bring a responsive, aggressive, and cost-conscious approach to every matter.

What We Defend

We represent professionals accused of:

  • Errors and omissions (E&O)
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Fraud or misrepresentation
  • Professional negligence or malpractice
  • Failure to adhere to statutory, ethical, or industry-specific standards
  • Regulatory and licensing board complaints

We understand that every profession is governed by its own set of codes, standards, and regulatory bodies, and we tailor our strategies accordingly drawing from decades of experience in civil litigation, risk assessment, and trial advocacy.

Who We Represent

MDAFP defends a broad range of licensed professionals, including:

  • Medical professionals (physicians, nurses, dentists, podiatrists)
  • Architects and engineers
  • Contractors and construction managers
  • Police officers and municipal officials
  • Property managers and real estate professionals
  • Accountants, auditors, and financial advisors
  • Attorneys and law firms
  • Clergy and religious institutions
  • Debt collectors and compliance officers
  • Directors and officers of corporations and nonprofits
  • Educators, administrators, and school board members
  • Trustees, receivers, and fiduciaries

Defending the Full Scope of Exposure

Our attorneys not only litigate claims in state and federal courts, but also handle disciplinary hearings, licensure defense, and professional board investigations. We work closely with insureds, risk managers, and carriers to protect both the immediate legal interests and the long-term careers of the professionals we serve.
