Lynette’s decades-long experience in Insurance provides her a unique ability to analyze and evaluate complicated coverage questions. She works closely with Claims Representatives to keep files up to date, provide prompt answers to thorny questions, and make sure she is moving claims forward in the manner best serving her client’s interests.

Commercial Union (2002) 28 Cal.4th 1059, which set the standard for proving the terms of a lost policy in California. She also published (along with co-author Neil Selman) an article entitled, "Negligent Supervision Likely Not an 'Occurrence' in California" in The Los Angeles Daily Journal, available on Lynette's News and Events page.
