Congratulations to Marilyn Fagelson, chair of the firm’s Insurance Recovery practice, on her selection as Insurance Law “Lawyer of the Year” in New Haven, CT for the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®.

“Lawyers of the Year” are individual lawyers with the highest overall peer-feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region in a Best Lawyers® edition. Only one lawyer is recognized as the "Lawyer of the Year" for each specialty and metropolitan location.

Marilyn handles complex commercial litigation and represents policyholders in insurance coverage disputes. Since joining Murtha Cullina, she has successfully prevailed in battles against much of the insurance market – often involving 20 or more insurers at a time. Marilyn has secured coverage of defense and indemnity under commercial general liability, directors and officers, errors and omissions, title, crime and other types of policies. Many of her cases have attracted national attention, not only for the groundbreaking precedent they set in Connecticut for policyholders, but also for the strength of arguments made on behalf of clients that have been adapted by the courts.

Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® is based on nomination, voting and evaluation by peers in the same practice area and geographic region. Best Lawyers® assesses the information and checks each attorney's status with local bar associations. Lawyers do not pay to be included. First published in 1983, The Best Lawyers in America® is regarded as a definitive guide to excellence in the local profession.
