Mike Abrams’ civil rights insurance practice has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for wrongfully convicted people.

Abrams and fellow POWER List honoree Bill Beck seek to hold insurers liable for the conduct of municipalities and departments whose personnel failed to carry out justice.

Victories include a recent $12.5 million settlement for cleared inmate Lamonte McIntyre in Kansas. Others include a $60.6 million settlement for the “Englewood Four” in Chicago; $21 million for a California man whose murder conviction was overturned; and a $16.5 million settlement for the families of three wrongfully convicted Mississippi men.
