CLAUDIA L. GAGLIONE

In 1982, Claudia received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Southern California Law Center. She joined a law firm in West Los Angeles, which specialized in the defense of professional malpractice matters.

For several years, Claudia was a litigation attorney handling matters involving the defense of attorneys, realtors and real estate appraisers. She conducted all forms of discovery, handled mediations and settlement conferences and took several cases to trial. In 1994, Claudia and her partner, Bob Dolan, formed the lawfirm of Gaglione & Dolan, which specializes in the defense of non-medical professional malpractice claims.

Since 1987, Claudia has acted as National Claims Counsel for the nationwide Real Estate Appraiser Professional Liability Program which has earned the endorsement of the Appraisal Institute. In that role, she reviews and monitors all claims filed against insured appraisers. In addition she has authored several articles and regularly presents seminars to assist appraisers with loss prevention.

In the past 16 years, Claudia has personally supervised well over 2500 claims and lawsuits filed against real estate appraisers all across the country. By virtue of this experience, she is uniquely qualified to speak about what kinds of things appraisers are getting sued for and what defenses are most successful. More importantly, Claudia can discuss the types of errors that are avoidable and how appraisers can make themselves the best possible defendant in the event they are ever sued.
