Skilled and knowledgeable litigator for a complex insurance dispute

Lauren Nuffort at Lommen Abdo provided excellent representation for my business during a difficult insurance coverage dispute. Her deep knowledge of insurance law, honed over 15 years, was immediately apparent. She expertly navigated the complexities of our case, which involved a significant property damage claim that our insurer was initially reluctant to cover. Lauren's background in both insurance and construction litigation was invaluable, as she understood the technical aspects of the claim and the legal precedents. Her strategic approach and clear communication throughout the litigation process were commendable. While her billing was transparent and fair for the high-quality work, there were a few instances where response times to non-urgent emails could have been slightly quicker. Overall, I highly recommend her for anyone needing a tenacious and well-regarded civil litigator in Minneapolis.
