About Me
- Nina Kallen
- I have been an attorney in Massachusetts since 1994. I practice in general litigation and focus on insurance coverage issues. I am available to assist claimants, insureds, and insurers who have a dispute over motor vehicle, homeowners, general liability, and other insurance policies. I also draft briefs and provide other litigation services to fellow attorneys on a subcontract basis. You can learn more about me, and find links to my published opinions, at my website, www.kallenlawyer.com.
