Barbara Welton

In 2000, I began working for a large defense firm that represented insurance companies.  Although I ended up disliking defense work, I learned the inside workings of insurance companies and their processes in accepting and denying claims and settlement strategies.  I also defended a Big Three automaker in Lemon Law and warranty claims.
