A consummate professional who delivered results in a complex insurance dispute

After our business faced a significant and complex property damage claim that our insurer initially denied, we turned to Allison Abbott. Her deep, 26-year background in insurance litigation and defense, honed entirely at Elverson Vasey, was immediately evident. Allison meticulously dissected the policy language and built an unassailable subrogation argument. She navigated the pre-litigation negotiations with a firm but pragmatic approach, clearly explaining each strategic move. Her recognition in insurance law is well-deserved. What could have been a protracted and costly court battle was resolved favorably through her skilled advocacy, securing a full recovery for us. Allison’s professionalism, direct communication, and mastery of the nuances in this area of law provided immense reassurance during a stressful time. We are profoundly grateful for her exceptional service and outstanding result.
