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.

While I am happy to have you contact me by telephone, surface mail, or email, merely communicating with me does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is only established by an agreement between you and me that I will handle a particular matter. Please do not convey to me any information that you regard as confidential until an attorney-client relationship has been established. Any information I receive from you prior to the formal establishment of such a relationship may not be confidential.
