I engaged Katherine Kolnhofer at Bell Temple LLP after my insurer denied a significant commercial property damage claim following a major storm. As a business owner in Baltimore, I was facing considerable financial pressure. From our initial consultation, Katherine demonstrated a clear and methodical understanding of the complexities within Insurance Law. Her recognition by Best Lawyers was immediately evident in her strategic approach; she meticulously dissected my policy and the insurer's denial letter, identifying several key coverage arguments they had overlooked. Her professional background, including her work in Toronto, gave her a valuable perspective on nuanced jurisdictional issues that came into play. Katherine was a steadfast advocate during negotiations, ultimately securing a settlement that covered the vast majority of my losses without the need for protracted litigation. Her communication was always substantive and she explained every step clearly. The only minor critique, which prevents a perfect score, is that there were a few instances where email responses took a bit longer than expected during particularly busy periods, though her team was always courteous in providing updates. Overall, I highly recommend Katherine for her expertise, diligence, and effective representation in insurance matters.
