Sara Rizor Black | Legal Assistant at Law Offices of Justin Fok
“Our law office in the San Jose area was in the midst of a move with a short time frame. Despite an administrative omission on our part, Summer Gorsica scrambled to get our insurance in place so that we could move in a timely fashion. When you’re in the midst of a frantic office move, you can count on Summer Gorsica and Ahern Insurance to do their part and help, rather than hinder, the process. It is rare to find such a combined high-level of responsiveness and professionalism. We would not hesitate to contact Summer or Ahern Insurance in the future for our ongoing insurance needs.”

“We have worked with AHERN since our firm opened in 2009 and have always had a very positive experience. The AHERN team knows what they’re doing and we trust them completely to help our firm obtain the necessary insurance at the appropriate coverage levels, with the best companies.
AHERN specializes in insuring law firms but they don’t use a “cookie-cutter” approach. They listen to our firm’s needs, make suggestions, and tailor coverage specifically for our firm.
What sets the AHERN team apart from other brokers is their responsiveness and their extensive knowledge of the legal insurance industry.”

“Randy Gust is attentive, knowledgeable and gets the job done. He is a great guy to work with. Randy and the AHERN team offer everything you would want in an insurance brokerage. Randy has many strengths, especially when it comes to his ability to compare different companies and coverage options. He has advised us not only on price but also what will work best for us and the specific needs of our law firm. We were delighted to save money upon taking his advice but that really wasn’t the reason. Randy, undoubtedly like everyone at AHERN, knows what is a good deal and we listen to him.”

“The AHERN team is very thoughtful in the way they look at our entire insurance needs. They make sure we are properly insured – not too much and not too little. Because they work with thousands of law firms, they are able to take that expertise and apply it specifically to our firm. The AHERN professionals spend significant time really getting to know us by asking a lot of questions and then communicating to the underwriters the specifics of our firm which provides us with the best coverage at the best rates. The AHERN team is also very good at explaining what you are getting in terms of coverage. They provide several options on the same coverage and give you apples-to-apples comparisons that help you make the best decision.”

“As a plaintiffs firm we deal in the consequences of risks gone wrong. Just as good risk management is essential to running a safe business, it is also key to running a successful law practice. Which is why when we decided to hold an MCLE course on risk management we turned to the experts at AHERN. Our course not only turned out to be extremely educational, our lawyers earned valuable MCLE credits at the same time.”

Liz Whitten | Firm Administrator at Casey Gerry Schenk Francavilla Blatt & Penfield LLP
“The AHERN team and Reid Middleton were retained to provide our employee benefits package. They are very pro-active, giving our partners much more time to make health care plan and price decisions because the options were presented very early in the process. The service we have received since has been outstanding. The team has been able to solve complicated billing and coverage issues that have saved our participants thousands of dollars.”
