Leading Trial Lawyers Launch Cannezzaro Marvel: New Firm Stands Out for Litigation Experience and Woman Leadership
Nikki Cannezzaro and Michelle Marvel launched Cannezzaro Marvel LLC, a litigation boutique that provides representation for personal injury and wrongful death; trucking and motor vehicle accidents; dangerous property, medical and drug injuries; defective products; and mediation.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Two of the Midwest's standout trial attorneys have joined forces to form a new law firm.
Nikki Cannezzaro and Michelle Marvel launched Cannezzaro Marvel LLC, a litigation boutique that provides representation for personal injury and wrongful death; trucking and motor vehicle accidents; dangerous property, medical and drug injuries; defective products; and mediation.
LITIGATION LEADERSHIP
The two bring a well-rounded set of experience to the new venture, as both women are seasoned trial lawyers who have approached litigation from multiple perspectives:
- Cannezzaro, a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, spent more than 20 years defending complex personal injury matters, often working for or with insurance companies; prior to entering private practice, she was a law clerk at the Missouri Court of Appeals.
- Marvel was most recently a partner at Bartimus Frickleton Robertson Rader, where she represented plaintiffs in some of the region's most high-profile personal injury matters. She began her career defending medical malpractice, commercial and construction claims.
Clients of the new firm benefit from this diverse experience – plaintiff, defense, judiciary and insurer – through advocates who can effectively anticipate defensive strategies, present to the courts, and negotiate with insurance companies.
THE WOMAN-OWNED DIFFERENCE
Cannezzaro Marvel is among the few personal injury law firms, both in the Midwest and nationwide, to be owned and led by women.
Indeed, according to a study by the American Bar Association, in personal injury cases, only 21 percent of first-chair lawyers are women. That negatively affects the women who experience serious accidents – and who may feel more comfortable with a woman advocate.
Cannezzaro Marvel addresses this issue by combining empathy and approachability with significant litigation savvy from lawyers who have worked with and against some of the best litigators in the country.
MEDIATION PROBLEM-SOLVING
The lack of female representation in litigation is not confined to the courtroom; according to another report by the American Bar Association, the number of women serving as neutrals in alternative dispute resolution is under 15 percent.
In addition to representing clients in mediation, Cannezzaro and Marvel will serve as mediators in relevant litigation matters, including disputes involving personal injury, trucking and motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, product liability, insurance claims and more.
Cannezzaro Marvel's physical office is located on Kansas City's Country Club Plaza at 4717 Grand Avenue, Suite 130. More information about the firm is available at http://www.cmlawkc.com.
