Firm Information
Butler Weihmuller Katz Craig is a civil litigation firm. It is, perhaps, unique for a firm of its size in that the practice is devoted entirely to defense and insurance litigation. The firm represents self-insured corporations, insurance companies, and insured individuals in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and the Caribbean. It aspires to provide superlative counsel while, at the same time, meeting the administrative demands of institutional clients. Hopefully, after 35 years, the firm's record speaks for itself.
