About Majorie Nicol
Marjorie Nicol is a respected insurance coverage litigator, representing first and third-party insurers across a wide range of commercial and personal lines. Marjorie provides sage advice from the claim adjustment phase through ensuing litigation in both state and federal trial and appellate courts.
