Biography
Amy is a trusted insurance recovery attorney who helps organizations recover the benefits of their insurance when it matters most. For decades, she has guided clients through complex coverage disputes, turning denied or disputed claims into meaningful recoveries and helping businesses manage risk with confidence.
Clients value Amy’s ability to quickly assess coverage, explain options in plain language, and develop practical strategies aligned with business goals. She works closely with in‑house teams and underlying defense counsel to control costs, reduce uncertainty, and keep matters moving toward resolution—whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
Amy has a strong track record of success against insurers in high‑stakes matters, including recovering substantial defense costs, securing policy limits, and prevailing on pivotal coverage issues that change the course of a case. She is often brought in when exposure is significant, positions have hardened, or a fresh, experienced perspective is needed.
"Amy has the ability to meet a defined goal even if the specific facts and insurance policy do not present a clear path to victory."
