I have worked with Kathleen Lopilato for many years on cases involving insurance claims. The key to those cases is having a good witness who can teach and explain the good reasons an insurer may sometimes need to deny a claim — and why the jury should agree. Kathleen has that ability. She has decades of experience and a highly professional demeanor that opposing counsel find hard to cross-examine. She would be ideal for any case involving insurance coverage and claim practices.

I have worked closely with Kathleen on many first party cases for over 20 years. She is exceptionally smart and understands the nuances of coverage and the duties owed by carriers arising out of those coverages. She quickly identifies the main issues in a particular case and offers intelligent solutions to those issues. I highly recommend her as a consulting or testifying expert.
