"Prior to becoming associated with Superior Law, PLLC, in 2000, as claims manager, I have spent 12 years as an insurance company adjuster and supervisor with both Northland Insurance and Fireman’s Fund Insurance Companies. I have had extensive experience in insurance claim investigations and damage evaluation of injured persons.

"My skill and experience allows us to accurately assess the likelihood of recovery and an accurate settlement range in a timely fashion. Because of what I have done previously and gathering extensive experience as a claim adjuster, I am able to “think” like a claims adjuster which enables us to spend our time and resources wisely focusing in on obtaining relevant information that the insurance carrier will need to process your claim and maximize your claim.

"Because my extensive insurance company experience, I can effectively deal with the insurance adjuster during the critical settlement negotiation stage of your claim “talking their language.” Marvin and I work closely to get the most compensation available under the law."

"I have been with Superior Law for 4 ½ years, performing a variety of secretarial duties, including taking dictation in shorthand, which I truly enjoy. This allows Mr. Marks and Mr. Wehe the ability to write letters by phone, as well as court documents in emergency situations. The ability of Superior Law to quickly communicate for our clients about important concerns does make a difference.

"I attended Rasmussen School of Business in St. Paul, Minnesota and worked for the law firm of Rosen, Meyer & Simons for 15 years. I was the secretary for Mr. Rosen, the senior partner.
