About Barbara
Biography
I have been practicing law for 33 years and most of my practice has revolved around representing individuals against insurance companies.
Within the last 6 years I have focused my practice in the area of representing individuals who have been denied disability benefits either under a private or employer sponsored disability plan. (ERISA)
I have represented clients with Parkinson's disease, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, muscular dystrophy, and other disease processes. Some of the insurance companies I have sued include UNUM, Prudential, United of Omaha, Reliance Standard, LINA, Metropolitan Life and many others. I have been successful in geting benefits for my clients both during the Appeal period as well as after a lawsuit has been filed.
In my past life I was employed as an insurance adjuster and therefore know the inside workings of some of the major insurance companies.
