Claudia Gaglione is great!!! Straight & to the point! She uses common sense with no bureaucratic crap or legalese! This is the type of person that I wish ALL Attorneys could be like (& I have 3 of them in my family). She is very easy to understand and doesn't try to scare her clients into submission like too many insurance companies do. Please feature her regularly.

Despite having been with LIA for only a year, I find myself feeling much more protected than I have in all the years I've had E&O insurance from other companies. I'm particularly impressed by the level of professionalism and responsiveness. Whenever I am concerned about something that could adversely affect my appraisal business, I reach out to my E&O provider and ask for their perspective on the issue. I've always gotten good advice. Knowing the 'Ask Claudia' group has been a big plus.
