New York, June 21, 2007 -- On Wednesday, June 20, 2007, Susman Godfrey LLP obtained a unanimous jury verdict for its client William Penn in Beller, et. al v. William Penn Life Insurance Co. of New York. The case was brought by class action firm Harwood Feffer and alleged breach of contract claims on behalf of a class of 25,000 policyholders, seeking $108 million in damages from William Penn. Plaintiffs alleged that William Penn had overcharged policyholders for cost of insurance rates. Although the case had been litigated for five years, Susman Godfrey was hired only six days before trial to take over as lead counsel. The jury’s verdict was a complete victory for William Penn.
Susman Godfrey's Bill Carmody and Tibor Nagy, both of the firm’s New York office, served as trial counsel.
