Over the last decade, The Ferraro Law Firm has worked alongside the New York Office of the Attorney General to unearth and investigate a multi-billion-dollar fraudulent escheatment scheme perpetrated by nine of the largest life insurance companies in the United States who unlawfully retained abandoned life insurance proceeds that should have been escheated to New York. With TARS’s assistance, the State of New York has already secured hundreds of millions of dollars in escheatments from the defendants. Moreover, on December 10, 2020, the firm earned a tide-changing appellate victory allowing the case to proceed on the merits and enabling the firm to hold the defendants accountable for the full extent of their fraud.

In 2020, the firm secured an extraordinarily rare reversal of an arbitration award, totaling $11 million, by the Third District Court of Appeal. Although the Federal Arbitration Act limits a party’s ability to vacate an arbitration award, the firm successfully argued that its client was denied important rights at arbitration, prompting the Third District to vacate the award and grant the firm’s client a new arbitration hearing.
