Vincent F. Gerbino

Vincent F. Gerbino is a founding partner, with 30+ years of experience, extensive litigation skills and a teamwork approach when addressing every case or special project. This approach was recognized when he received a prestigious 2020 award from International Advisory Experts for his excellence in premises liability law. In 2022 he spearheaded the effort to get his firm selected as one of only 10 members of the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud in the nation. The firm was chosen because of the team’s proven skill and commitment to fighting insurance fraud.

He leads multi-faceted investigations on behalf of insurance clients and routinely conducts Examinations Under Oath of claimants and medical providers. Mr. Gerbino has been an integral part of litigating numerous affirmative litigation suits to conclusion with positive recoveries for his carrier clients.

His strong trial skills were put to the test in 2009 when Mr. Gerbino served as lead counsel for several insurance carriers in a $28 million insurance fraud case against a doctor who was wrongly paid monies under the “New York No-Fault Law.” The case, which was decided by a jury in favor of the insurance carriers, remains the only jury verdict on the issue of fraudulent incorporation. In June 2019 the New York Court of Appeals unanimously reaffirmed the 2009 decision.

Throughout his career, Mr. Gerbino has been recognized as a leader in his field. In 2017 he received designation as a Certified Litigation Management Professional (CLMP) from the Claims & Litigation Management Alliance (CLM).

Mr. Gerbino is frequently called on to offer his insight into relevant issues affecting the insurance industry, particularly pain management. He spoke at the CLM Focus event in November 2020 in a virtual presentation called "How to Manage the Wealth in Pain Management.” Also that year, he blended his passions for law and education to teach for The School of Casualty Claims for the CLM Alliance (Claims and Litigation Management Alliance) Claims College.

Mr. Gerbino has served on numerous panel discussions, presented at conferences and has published articles including his most recent “Telehealth: A new fraud frontier or a welcome expansion of Technology” for CLM Magazine as well as others including “Closing the Door on Pain Management Abuse,” “You Won, Now Try and Collect” and “Beyond the Insured: Uncovering Misrepresentations in Insurance Applications” in CLM’s Claims Management. In 2018 he published a white paper, “The Use and Abuse of Pain Management in Accident Cases.”

Mr. Gerbino is licensed to practice law in New York, New Jersey, the District of Columbia and the U.S. District Courts for the Southern, Eastern and Western Districts of New York and the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. He is a member of the New York State and District of Columbia Bar Associations.

Mr. Gerbino graduated from New York University in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He received a Juris Doctor Degree from St. John’s University School of Law in 1988.

Outside of the legal field, he is a board executive for an independent private school where he has been part of many initiatives that have enriched the school and helped students thrive. Each year he is asked to deliver the commencement speech because of his dedication to the school. He is also a member of Vistage, the world's leading advisory and executive coaching organization.
