MaKenna Stoakes provided outstanding counsel during a challenging business interruption claim. Her deep knowledge of insurance law, honed since her graduation from Creighton University, was immediately evident. MaKenna meticulously analyzed our policy, identified key coverage arguments our previous counsel missed, and navigated negotiations with the insurer's legal team with remarkable skill. Her recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved. The result was a settlement that far exceeded our expectations. MaKenna’s professionalism, strategic thinking, and clear communication at Cozen O'Connor made an incredibly stressful process manageable. I recommend her without reservation.
